Ah, damn. It's more Valis.
At least the cover is fun, because nothing else about this is. Almost reminds me of The Art of the Deal with its black borders and big bold gold letters. Its ostentatious art is more suited to some trashy pulp novel than the game it so flagrantly misrepresents and might trick some poor kid into thinking they're actually going to play something cool. Wrong, bozo, it's Valis.
You do have a run button and the sprite art is more fluid and expressive than the last few games, but it's really more of the same. After three utterly joyless forays into this series, my takeaway is that I'm not surprised they followed this up by cranking out a porno.

@DemonAndGames It has a run button so like, on a technicality it is better. Honestly it's still probably a two but since I think it's a bit of an improvement over III I just gave it a 2.5 but whatever, it's not like I think much about scores anyway.

I mean, I guess it's good it ended up being the best one in the series...? Tho I guess that would be like saying that it’s a turd with a ribbon on it.
