I am playing this game in late 2021 so I might be at fault for not enjoying this game - a bit. Neither have I played the previous games and even after watching the recap I had no idea what the hell was going on. I only played it because it was available on steam (clearly this game was not made for pc) and the download size was a whooping 100GB making me wonder if it was a big deal. The gameplay is funny and the gaudy characters are just very unattractive. Maybe it just wasn't my style and let my expectations get the better of me.
