Wow how disappointing. Like most ppl here I'm here out of love for jet force Gemini. This game is like an asset flip, it is so shallow and artificial feeling. Nothing really fits....everything feels out of place. Now for what it is...its a fine idea..the graphics are 'fine'....the music is 'fine'....the idea of a mario 64 type is 'fine'...the idea of having some shooter mechanics is also "fine'.....but this game is such a tease when it comes to the shooting mechanics. SHooting is like the first thing u do in this game......and it is terrible. I have never had worse shooting ever in a game. I can't believe how bad it is in this game. I"m using a ps4 controller so I"l give them a bit of a break but....WOW is it terrible. THe camera and movement keeps trying to auto adjust everything so it literally leans u out of whatever u are aiming at. Its god awful in almost every way imaginable. I've spent an hour in this game and I feel 0 love for it, it feels so amateurish and unpolished and just like a game jam idea that was never supposed to go far at all and the author knows it. Again, I don't feel like there is ANY relation to jet force gemini here other than the 'loose' concept of the weapons and enemies...,.but this loose concept feels more like a fan-based mod or someone who played gemini for an hour and 'was inspired'...no real time was spent playing thats what it feels like honestly. If they fixed the controls...EVEN THE PLATFORMING controls SUCK....its just a crying shame. Just fix these controls, I could honestly ignore the shooting components completely when reviewing this game and I'd still be miserable playing it. Even as an asset flip and all that...oh my god I got lost in the first 2minutes of playing...thats not good guys. CMON. There's not exactly many places to go. And drowning and all this right off the bat...oh my god. I want to divorce anything jetforce gemini related from this game...this is just some bad fan-based omahge to gemini (at best). I can't get over how miserable even the first weapon is in this game....its a parody of the first weapon in gemini but oh my god is it terrible in this game, I would LOVE to use the gemini pistol again LOVE to use it.....this is just such a dissapointing throwback to a great game. I don't know if my last 20m of gameplay got saved or not....I doubt it....I don't want to play this game anymore. Kudos to anyone who actually managed to finish this game...seriously. Even some of the little 'acts of love' feel so amateurish...like the little house on the island u find after the first bit of gameplay.....it has a sign giving u a hint there's an interaction to be had...and the hint is so just 'spelling it out', like this isn't charming at all! Feels so lame right down to the herding of the player along..if ur tring to herd the player along WHY WAS THE SHOOOTING of the first SECTION so hard!??!?! I actually died like 3 times in that first section....what u would expect is a tutorial section seems to be outright experienced gameplay right off the bat so u better get used to the gameplay rigth away. no time or room to mess around or lean? CMON. And they know it too, when u die from drowning(so lame in this game) or combat it respawns u nearby sometimes right infront of where u drowned...literally saving me time if i just drown as opposed to walking back. Everything just feels so lame and shallow in this game so far. I'm so angry this wasn't any good. I wouldn't be suprrised if these ppl had nothing to do with RARE or gemini in any meaningul fashion and just used it to sell us 'this' whatever 'this is'....again, it feels like an asset flip. I don't know what part of the team these ppl were on when doing gemini, but I don't see a single part of this game as good other than the main character skin design that waas well done, they r very cute.
