I think I kind of accidentally stumbled into beating it the first time through. It has infinite lives, checkpoints, a level select, collectables everything a player needs to find themselves voluntarily replaying levels to find secrets or beat their best time/score. So Im going back and replaying all the chapters trying to get better scores, and for the life of me I cant figure out what the deal is with the last floor of Chapter 9. It actually reminds me of Super Meat Boy, in that it features a retro gameplay style, but with a modern gaming philosophy, so it's challenging without being overly frustrating. The gameplay on the other hand, I reckon is 95% gold (and 5% boss/stealth levels). Though I will reveal that it definitely doesn't turn out to be a dark Spec Ops: The Line style condemnation of violent video games. And it wasn't really as interesting as I was hoping for after the weirdness of the intro, but that's just my opinion and I don't want to go into detail and spoil it. Well okay I didn't get the secret 'collect all the hidden puzzle pieces' ending, but I got enough of an ending for me. This screenshot gives away the trick a little, but this was the only place I found I could survive long enough to get a decent picture.Īnd then, after a little bit of epilogue, the game was over.

I'll leave you to guess how many times I was instantly annihilated by his dual sub-machine guns from off screen before I found a way to get to cover. Well here I am, sixteen levels in, fighting the final boss. Turns out I just had to find a shotgun and shoot him a few times, so now you know.

But this guy, I don't know him, I don't know what kills him, and I can only beat him through trial and error. Everything is known, and it's up to me to make use of that knowledge to find a solution. I think what's happening here, is that the game has certain enemies, and certain weapons, and I can predict how everything will act when I get involved. Goes to the police department & kills them. The car is defaced with words like whore, the apartment is trashed & gross - sees the outline of Girlfriends body + changes. Even the transition to the next chapter becomes static-y, goes to closing + going back to black. But this fight is already pissing me off, so it can't just be that. Static keeps coming on screen + screen get rockier as hes escaping the hospital. You know, I had a theory that I haven't been frustrated by my constant failures in this game because of the infinite lives and fast restarts. Mercy is offering COVID-19 vaccine appointments to anyone age 06 months and older in most of the communities we serve. Especially not when I have to restart every time he catches me. I don't want to have to study his routine, or learn his weak point, or go around hitting him with every weapon on the floor until I find the one that works. Uh, why aren't my bullets killing this guy? Oh no don't tell me this is a boss battle.
