I have the feeling that this game and the reviews are more about personal taste than it was the case for most of the games before.

Do you like the humor?
Do you like the art style?
Do you like the numerous different gameplay sections?

So my take: Give it a go on GamePass and see for yourself.

I agree. It's an oddity. It gets an 8, 9, and even a 10 in some places.... then a 4 or 5 in others. I think it's an 8 personally. Been playing all night and I really, really like it. My biggest complaints are some bad voice acting, the bizarre mini-games you're required to do to unlock doors that have no business being in this game, and lack of online co-op (which is a massive fail). But if you're looking at it as just a side-scrolling beat em up, I think it's fantastic and feels great to play. The combat system is very smooth and well done. It feels almost like DMC. You can combo enemies, knocking them into the air, leap up and hit them in the air, then use your tongue to yank them back again as they fall like Nero's Devil Bringer. Overall I'm having a blast with it, but can see a few of the glaring problems. It's definitely not a 10.... but it's also no way a 4 or 5. That's just ludicrous.

it's also a completely different experience single player vs couch co op. I can see how single player would get old quickly as half the fun is yelling at your kids to get their head out of their ass and pay attention. Those hover bikes ain't cheap.
