Finally beat this game after dropping it and restarting it more than once. Overall I think I enjoyed my time with the game and I really love everything about its style and personality, but this game is so damn clunky at times it really brings the game down for me. Some levels like Rusty Bucket Bay I could genuinely consider being made for the purpose of a rage game, trying to get all 100 notes in every level can get extremely annoying, especially when dying causes your count to reset.

I think the last couple hours of the game, including the final level and boss sequence is really enjoyable though and really made me appreciate the game more right before the end.

I think Blue Stinger has a lot of cool ideas and is a solid survival horror especially on the Dreamcast.

It can be decently funny which I sometimes wonder is intentional. The story was kind of all over the place and weird but I still thought the setting was pretty interesting despite a ton of mistranslated dialog and set pieces. I'm also a big fan of some of the boss fights and environments.

Game has a ton of weapons, several I didn't even get to to try so i'd say it'd be fun to replay. However, the general clunkiness overall makes it something I don't see myself returning to, but I'm still glad I checked it out and enjoyed my time.

Yeah this game kinda sucks if I'm being honest.
