Defeat the Backlog!

Been trying to play it since I finished Half-Life, and as I had already played Nicktoons Unite!'s sequel, Battle for Volcano Island, finding it pretty good, decided to tackle the game that kicked it off.

Usually I'm very patient for games, most of the time pushing through even the bad ones, but this one I'm seriously considering dropping, and if I do so, it'll be the third or fourth game in my life I do it. In retrospect, no wonder Nicktoons Unite! is very barely mentioned in the sequel, pretty much just showing the characters from the previous game know each other.

It's gameplay is a slog and repetitive, enemy and secondary characters' AI often stop for a few seconds each time, dialogues and characters have no synergy, and there's no sense of continuity between stages, feeling like tackling a shopping list instead.

Dunno how was its development, but feels like someone who just learned video games are a thing took notes from someone that knows what makes a game, and implemented them in the project like that.

May try to push myself a bit more, maybe 1~2 days, but don't think I can endure it past that long.
