Games I Like That Everybody Else Dislikes
Balances a thin tightrope between being absolutely bonkers batshit and repetitive mind-numbing boredom - the type of in-your-face, unabashed meme=game that the most annoying people ever used to make their entire personality back in the day (I was one of those people). Though I think this one actually has the benefit of time having passed on its side; because at this time my generation was definitely guilty of taking one (usually bad/stupid) joke and running it into the ground for years until it becomes insufferable. At least now memes only last, like, <2 weeks and not 2+ years. So I actually like this a whole lot more now that it isn't a total dead horse being beaten over and over again - what used to read as trite band kid humor in a sea of similar one-joke-ponies now has a funny, inventive, and seriously unique charm to it. Still think only having two levels on release is paltry but given how much ragdoll-fueled mayhem you can cause within them with tons of neat characters I think it's excusable, especially after the DLCs. Three stars in 2014-2018, four stars from 2019-onwards. Good fun.
