• Played on a Dualshock Edge with Steam Input
  
• I played to 100% each level

• Dynamic soundtrack is fantastic
  
• If this was released in current_year, it would be called Gay and Communist because it is and it's based

• Levels are just SO LONG with no mid-game save button. It's to the point where I would tab
  
• The game does not innovate enough to keep you continually invested. New enemies are introduced but they don't shake up the gameplay enough. Later levels feel like a sludge since it's just More of the Same.
  
• Camera is not great
  
• Platforming is far too floaty and edgeless
  
• A lot of buildings you're supposed to get onto are JUST above the height you can jump, so you have to find some other janky way to get on top of them. Happens way too often
  
• The lock-on system for targeting is meh
  
• Cutscenes are VERY low res
  
• 100%ing levels is a pain since not everything is tracked by the compass, which can lead you to continually combing through a level over and over

If this game was half of the length and 1/4 the price tag I'd be happy, but since it isn't, I'm not. de Blob fails to innovate to keep experienced gamers interested. The mechanics are far too shallow for the length of the game. I highly recommend listening to the soundtrack and avoiding the game itself. It just doesn't hold up like I remember it did when I was a kid.
