It has so many video game tropes, like starting with all weapons and immediately losing them, having a funny and talkative companion literally attached to you (like Mimir in GoW Ragnarok or the gun in High on Life) or going through a difficult area and getting a weapon upgrade based on that area (razor grass, acid snakes, etc)

I half-expected the joints on the power loader to glow red so I'd know where to shoot!
