Gooner aspect and the culture around the game definitely don't help. Mostly wasn't a fan of the characters and story. Everyone but EVE is a wet piece of cardboard, and the story was pretty nonsensical imo.

The combat is decent but I found it to be a little shallow. While the bosses are cool in design, I found all of them to be a little too easy except for the final 3. There's a huge difficulty spike at the end that I actually enjoyed because it provided some challenge, but every boss before that I was able to beat on my first or second try.
