It’s an uncomfortable sense that unfortunately extends to large tracts of the game, whose overreliance on dull and imprecise gunplay increasingly feels like a bad joke at your expense. One in particular, where you’re charged with doing boring paperwork, seems to go on forever, to the point where you feel like the butt of the joke rather than its beneficiary. It’s nice to hear characters notice you wander off as they’re talking, and enough of them have lines to say when you do so that it was clearly an intended part of the gameplay.Īlong with intentionally vexatious dialogue, there are also mini-games designed for futility. In one case you can eventually shoot and kill the extremely irritating over-vocalising alien, but much of the time you just have to sit and listen or walk away mid-flow. The game all too often becomes genuinely annoying. That can be a mixed blessing, because while the opening and a few discrete scenes are highly amusing – or at least they are if you enjoy Rick and Morty – a lot of the other dialogue feels part-improvised and in some cases is deliberately annoying for comic effect.
The final element of your arsenal is a bloodthirsty Australian knife who just can’t wait to stab everything you meet although he doesn’t get nearly as much dialogue as the guns, who usually have quite a bit to say.
