Pouring one out for the "Sequel Is A Totally Different Genre" move, a thing only Final Fantasy tries anymore. The original Fighting Force arrived with dozens of reviews lying about how much like Streets of Rage it was. Imagine constructing your identity around that, and then the sequel comes out, and you are a super spy fighting zombies. Imagine if The Last of Us Part 2 was just Tokyo Jungle. I wish more games had the nerve to make a sequel that's just fuckin a total misunderstanding about what anyone could have liked about it.
