Really disappointing conclusion to the El Viento trilogy in a lot of ways. I do find the story interesting, and getting some kind of closure in that regard is nice - plus the soundtrack is pretty neat. The actual game itself clearly is a bad experience though. It straight-up feels like an unfinished beta that was rushed to market due to lack of time or budget. Combat is tedious and unexciting, and it astounds me how bad enemies are at walking back onscreen if they've been knocked offscreen. I sometimes would wait for literally multiple minutes at a time before an enemy finally found its way back onscreen to keep fighting me, lol. Definitely the worst beat-em-up I've played thus far.
