Why is the game fun?

1) Kick — the biggest mechanic in the game is so satisfying. Killing, destroying, sending enemies and doors flying. Sheesh, that feels awesome.

2) Gameplay Flow . You are basically an unstoppable killing machine. Once you die → you respawn immediately and start over again (legacy from Hotline Miami).

The developers managed to make the levels short enough, so you never feel that you lost too much on death. Plus, the respawn sequence is almost non-existent, so you don’t feel any punishment.

3) The Art Style and Music . These two bros match each other perfectly. They both create this non-serious, humorous vibe. It is just perfect to chill after work or a workout.

4) Feeling of mastery . The character is fragile and can die in two-three shots, or from one hit by a crocodile or grenade. Add to this instant respawn and short level length, and you create a perfect game for mastering it.

I ended up remembering the position of each enemy and honing my way of dealing with them (POV thought: kick this guy, shoot these two, throw a weapon at another one, then turn left and so on). So you can feel like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ badass, and that’s a rare experience that games can offer (with moderate or even low effort).

5) Another pro that also rises from the short gameplay loop is the feeling of achievement : completing some challenges is a big deal. They can literally require speedrunning. But once you get through them — the scream of joy and excitement is inevitable (if you are also an emotional gamer :D).

And the last thing is advice:

If you are a perfectionist and always try to get all the stars (=extra challenges) → take my advice and ignore this urge for a bit until you finish the current Act. Why?
1. You will save a decent amount of time, because some of the stars require specific Sneakers to complete them.
2. You will enjoy the game more. I am a perfectionist, and when I stopped caring about earning all the stars, I immediately increased the joy of playing. But I didn’t abandon the idea of completing the extra challenges.

Nope! Once i saw the Crime Minister had the triple digits on his head, I immediately requested a refund.

it good game. kick good
