The game Nightmare Creatures for the N64 features some of the stiffest movement and worst platforming you could ever come across for a third-person action game. The targeting system only half-works, you’re often fighting multiple monsters but have literally no attacks that can hit more than one enemy aside from special items, you can never tell which pre-rendered window is breakable to reveal a hidden item, one of the two playable characters is CLEARLY better than the other, etc.
I accept all these things and I love the game anyway. What game is like that for you?

Might be something to keep your eyes on. While I didn’t enjoy Elex because the science-fantasy setting doesn’t really interest me, I think Risen is one of the best games of all time and Risen 3 a very well-made RPG. It’s a shame.
