Squirrel with a Gun Review Cons:
- The resolution field doesn’t show the resolution it just shows as low, medium, high, etc.
- No benchmark test.
- The controls are very loose and any platforming is a nightmare as you spend so much time overjumping or not enough.
- The world is very blurry and despite graphic changes it still looks bad and it’s hard to make things out.
- Shooting is not fun and the aim assist is nonexistent.
- Tutorials are so sporadic and limited that you don’t get told about many things like refilling ammo, basic mechanics, and actions.
- The music sounds very generic and free to use.
- Performance is not great and very juddering and stop-start that it’s not great at the best of times.
- Had the music just cut out for no reason.
- The checkpoints are bad and dying will have you replaying large chunks of the level and it doesn’t even save acorns and Collectibles.
- Anything precise from platforming to jumping on and off poles feels like it’s going to break or not register.
- It’s more a novelty than a solid game experience.
