84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But it had some fun variety, a silly cast of characters and a genuinely wholesome, and kind of tear-jerking main plot, that I came to appreciate.

I have an rtx 2060 that gets me about 165-200 fps on Doom Eternal (a very graphically beautiful game) while I'm not even getting 100fps on the LOWEST SETTINGS on this unoptimized slop of a game that has clay graphics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

I love that i can change the difficulty of it on the fly from tar slimes everywhere to my little cute largos grazing in the front yard together enjoying their teeter totter.
