The game has good humor but that's pretty much it... Gameplay is okay but the damage scaling is bad (close to none) and it's just painful to get barraged by normal enemies during mid/end game - fighting swarm of enemies

Very underrated game. The dad jokes are unsurprisingly all over the place. The story is so silly yet so well excecuted. Controls are fine, not too precise. Had a good time playing this

Behind the expected ton of facepalm inducing dad jokes lies a game, which suffers from a lot of really bad choices. After some initial enjoyment, all those choices become very apparent, and most of the remaining game
