Is the starfox IP doomed to just be starfox 64 remakes untill it just stops to exist? This game controls just awful. I always forget just how not-fun this game is to play.
When the gameplay isn’t fun there isn’t much one can do to redeem the product. The visuals are bland and simple, wich works for an on-rails shooter. The story is simple and you cant get invested because you’re constantly fighting with the controls.
This game is super short. Starfox games are made to be replayed, so you can try to take a diffrent route each time. But after my first playthrough I had no intent of ever returning.
The only way forward for this franchise is to reinvent the genre like mario and zelda do for there genres. On-rails shooters were new and inventive once upon a time. now the genre has gone stale and nobody’s really interested in the genre. I feel like an open space exploration game with “on rail shooter sections” would work much better than a full game in this style nowadays.
