I definitely enjoyed this a lot more than more of their recent titles like Hack N’ Slash which was really unappealing. They could have done a lot better job with this concept but they really messed it up with the execution.

The problem is that they all have one decent idea, and then they try to ride the whole game on the strength of that single idea. It’s never enough to carry the rest.

It reminds me of John Cleese talking about the issues he faced writing comedy with some members of Monty Python: that some of them thought for a minute, came up with an okay joke, and then wrote it down. What they should have done, Cleese said (and I agree), is to say, “Okay, that’s a good idea, but let’s see if I can do even better.” So too DoubleFine.
