This is almost a perfect 10/10 for me but going for 100% is a pain in the side, please add the ability to replay levels for completion clean up. Edit: 10/10 they now have the option to revisit levels

Not a boomer-shooter by any measure, it's a modern corridor-platforming-arena shooter à la Doom 2016 except the gun play is nowhere near as good. Not really a detective game either. The only deducing that you'll do in this game is trying to deduce what the hell some of the cheese puns are supposed to mean. I think "hit or miss" is the best way to describe this game. The combat is hit or miss; often in the moment-to-moment gameplay it feels good to jump around machine-gunning mafia goons while staying just out of their reach, and the "gaba-goo" that they exclaim when you kill one is a nice touch. On the other hand, you become accutely aware of the painful lack of enemy variety pretty early in the game and the gunplay becomes repetitive as a result. The presentation is hit or miss; I really like the bouncy, lively, old-school cartoon style and animation of the characters, weapons and props throughout the game. On the other hand, it clashes with the 3D rendered environments, so there is always a degree of separation between the people and things of the world and the world itself. The writing is hit or miss; for the most part it's solid and the dialogue gives the main characters their own unique personalities while keeping a consistent through-line that anchors them all together in the same universe. On the other hand, there are a lot of cringe-inducing jokes and some ham-fisted modern-day references that don't fit in at all. The tech is hit or miss; the game is stable, I never had any crashes or game-breaking bugs. It also runs well. On my RTX 3080ti I was far above 60 fps at all times. On the other hand, there are tons of ways to break progression and soft-lock the game so that you need to reload a save or restart a level. There are also a lot of places in the game where you can get stuck in the world geometry, and I even had an enemy spawn door close while I was near it and force me through the otherwise impassable barrier into a small room that I had no way of escaping from. Exploration is a miss. The levels close behind you as you progress, locking you out of exploration and collectables, some of which you NEED to get the complete story. You also cannot replay missions without starting a new save file, so better find every secret first try! Voice acting is a hit. It's good all around and Troy Baker really brings the main character to life. Honestly, I could justify giving this game either a thumbs up or thumbs down. But since I feel goodwill towards the developers because I think they had their hearts in the right place with this one, I'm giving it a thumbs up.

I love this game. It's like being in an old cartoon and it's just fun. The early Popeye cartoons would be good with this treatment. I'm 71 years old.

IGN has poor taste in cheeses. Fantastic game. Any future DLC is a Day 1 buy from me.

dont trust IGN's word. They dont know spit from polish. This game is a grand and fun time that pays homage to not just Crime Noir, but as well as other in jokes and references. The game itself feels fair to play and even if i ended up lost, id find my way back on track. A fair and fun game thats a lot more than i expected~
