It could have been so great ...
This game has so many great things to offer: An amazing soundtrack, a gripping story and characters that make you forget that they are just drawn. It is fun to use your motorbike and kill enemys in slow motion even if it takes a bit getting used to. Yes, the map is terrible since it does not show you anything and especially not where you were or weren't and where you have to go .... but that's not what made me ragequit and uninstall this game ....
It is the bosses. Yes, you are not supposed to beat a boss first try after all it is a boss. So I thought when I had to do a chase sequence with a boss and after maybe the 50s try or so I finally managed. It's all about practice and getting good, right? Wrong.
There's a boss in the game which purely relies on RNG and you have to hit every target precisely while also controlling your bike and grabbing the boss being careful to not tilt over while having it grabbed with a rope. Take your pick. One time I did not hit the target and get crushed beneath it, one time I tip over because too much speed and the rope tilts me and one time I am too slow with the grabbing and have to start again ... but I can't because my gun is empty and I have to reload and then while turning upside down (because that's the ONLY way to reload guns) I smash my head on the ground also dying instantly. You'll have to hit the boss 5 times and ehenever you die you start from the beginning.
So after dying probably 500 times or more I decided that I should quit. Usually after a while you get better in a boss fight after a while but this boss is different every single time so good luck trying to learn it. It is a terrible game design that makes a wonderful game turn into a nightmare to play and no, there is aboslutely NO difficulty slider and of course there is also no way to skip the boss. Worst boss design I ever witnessed and I finished Hollow Knight, Silksong, Grime and many more of these games. Every boss was beatable with a bit of practice this ony is pure luck.
