While everyone else was clamoring about how this is a shameless copycat, I was cautiously optimistic of it, thinking that it might still be a competent game at the end of the day.
Well... a fool and his money are soon parted. Bland levels, inconsistent framerates for animations, awkward controls, lacking audio direction, and hellish difficulty in a sort of unfair way. This game fucking sucks.

It's honestly astounding how far McLeodGaming has come after releasing this piece of shit. I hate to say that, because the game was a big part of my childhood and probably yours too, but it ages worse with each passing day.
Even the atrocity that is Nick All-Star Brawl has polished controls and physics.

The best Smash game, and everyone knows it. Fuck Nintendo.
The only thing that makes this situation less disgusting than Mario Royale is that they didn't steal the game's ideas after they manipulated Twitch into shutting it down. Or maybe it's more disgusting because that means they haven't yet made a Smash game which is anywhere near as good.

I was anticipating this game for a while, but when it launched... I don't think I've ever dropped a Source Engine game so fast in my life before.
Part of it was boredom, the other part was anger towards how the developers disabled custom sprays. If you're going to make a celebration of the Source Engine's quirks, go all the way or fuck off.

Twice have I tried to click with this game, only to drop out soon after leaving the Great Plateau both times.
You may have noticed from my previous logs that I gravitate towards games with deliberate pacing and setpieces, even if that means they are linear. Open-world games, especially those with reused assets, provide little entertainment to me.
It doesn't help that - unlike Skyrim - managing weapons in this game is an absolute pain in the ass.

How bold of the developers to fake out with a "forgettable" cartoon bunny shooter, only for the real product to be an actually forgettable realistic shooter.
Think about it; the term for repeatedly jumping to build momentum is "bunny-hopping". The fake game would have unironically been better than this.
