OneShot was definitely worse than I expected going into it. The main story is quite interesting, and the 4th-wall breaks are something I've never seen any other videogame do. But, the gameplay is just such a drag to me. This can mainly be attributed to plain and indiscriminable areas that are annoying to navigate, as well as 'hidden' checkpoints the player must reach before being able to progress. What I mean by this, is having to talk to specific characters before being able to obtain certain items or perform certain actions. It makes the game longer than it should be.

In addition, one of the 4th-wall breaks did not function properly for me, which made me have to look up the solution. Kind of a bummer, since that is the main interesting mechanic of the game.

I don't think OneShot is a bad game at all, it just wasn't as capturing as I would have hoped.
