Ignore the Critics!

This game is awesome! First off it is made by one of the creator's of Rick and Morty and it shows. The main voice actor in the game is the voice actor for Morty himself and he is so funny! If you like RIck and Morty humor this game is for you, and man it was for me!

Here are some positives:
  • Short campaign with a lot to do. I am a fan of the 10-12 hour campaign, I do not need every game to be a 100 hours of fetch quests. This is a shorter and more refined experience that focuses on art style, funny writing, and good FPS gameplay and platforming.


  • Combat and movement feel good and are very different. As you get new abilities, suit upgrades, and weapons you can move and kill in new ways. It is very fun in that regard.


  • The story is actually really fun and compelling. You are a bounty hunter seeking to take down a cartel from the bottom up.


  • The cast of characters are great. All the Guns have super funny personalities and even a touching and tragic backstory that you will learn about throughout the story.


  • The game is FUNNY. If you like Rick and Morty, play this game. If you like this game watch Rick and Morty.


  • The graphics and art direction pops off the screen.


  • The main villain is absolutely the worst in the best way, and by the lost boss battle you will be so ready to end its life.


  • The boss battles are a fun combination of puzzle combat and shooting.


  • The worlds are beautiful and colorful.


  • The worldbuilding is also really great and clever. There is definitely room for a sequel, I like the lore and factions in the world a lot.


  • Variety in locations and enemy types.


  • The achievement hunt it so good! You can, with a guide get 100% completion in one playthrough.


  • The length is perfect. I want to say my playthrough was around 12 hours with near total achievement completion. I love shorter focused campaigns because I can replay them and it ups the quality. This is one of those classic 12-15 hour shooter campaigns from back in the 360 days.


You should play this game, I have no clue why it got bombed so hard it doesn't deserve it at all. Play it on game pass now!
