Way overhyped. Story is incredibly linear. Sidequesting is minimal and non-rewarding. Ending is really unsatisfying. Graphics are pretty. Soundtrack is good. Controls are simple. Spoilers ahead: The ending boss is very easy, and has nothing else. The main game boss (fleshmancer) is "in another castle" and not even in this game at all. It's some ploy by the developer, and you're essentially "buying chapter 9 of a 23 chapter book". Lots of loose ends with no endings, and character twists that go nowhere.

Just bad. The writing, directing, plot and story development were all terrible. The cheese factor was through the roof and poorly done with bad CG. I was told it was a comedy - it wasn't.

Tl;dr: this game has very, VERY poor controls that cannot be modified in any useful way. Full-scale review would be nice, but not possible. This review is for switch only. Game has this idea that the narrator is telling a story - and you HAVE to follow it. You even have to stop and get shot in the back or face repeatedly, if you make it to the objective before the narrator completes talking. Major drawback that takes away the immersion. Second, the duels are a major algorithm in the game. And the controls for them are grotesquely poorly chosen and cannot be changed. As such, you'll fail duels more because of terrible controls and no other reason. (Hold the button if you need any help, that's all you'll get). The motion controls are directly correlated to the duels and the button combination will ensure your aim is way off. These two factors absolutely ruin the game very quickly. Which is sad, cause it looks great and felt like the wild west.

Nostalgia+. Three of the most pirated and bought games in history for good reasons. Unfortunately, this remake does not allow controller customization - which is a huge letdown in some circumstances (like sunshine map button placement).
