For the most part, it's pretty solid old school beat em up stuff, the controls are responsive, hitting bad guys is satisfying as hell, and there's just enough enemy, stage, and attack variety to stop it from getting too monotonous. So most of my issues with the game are in its gameplay. The best one I've heard in a game in quite a while, to be honest. The rest of the sound design is great too, but my god that soundtrack is eargasmic. The soundtrack by Anamanaguchi absolutely shreds and brings the levels and even menu screens to life in such a brilliant way. In general it's a fantastically directed game. The graphics are fantastic, stylized as hell, and they even went to the trouble of putting some cute little details in that not everyone will notice. So presentation wise, this game absolutely hits the nail on the head.
It makes so much sense for a game adaptation, period. The film is constantly adopting aesthetics from games of that era, there's almost no weapons other than good old fashioned fists and feet used, and you already have seven boss fights pretty much designed for you. It's a fun throwback to old 16 bit beat em up games, and upon realising that, I was struck by just how much sense that made for the material it's based on. And to my surprise, I don't regret buying it. T on my hands, and I felt like having more games on my recently bought Switch, so what the heck. It may not necessarily have been Ubisoft's fault (in fact to this very day no one knows why the game was ever de-listed, PR being shady as hell), but I certainly didn't want another P.
Some more of you might remember that until the beginning of this year, this game was another unfortunate loss to the fires of the digital hellscape largely brought about by publishers wanting to control every facet of the industry they can, and so some more of you that are especially clever might have deduced from these two facts that my purchase of this game was less due to a love of the original material and more due to a desire to get it while it before Ubisoft decided to kill it again. The World, I liked it but didn't necessarily love it. Some of you might remember that when I reviewed Scott Pilgrim Vs.
