A few years ago, my brother in law let me try one of his games called Toxic Bunny. I thought it was okay but kind of hard. When I saw that it was getting a HD remake, I thought I’ll put it on my Wishlist backburner for a later time. And that time is now cause I felt like it.
Pros:
-It’s got a difficulty setting, which for a remaster version of a hard game should be encouraged.
-The potion system has been redone. Instead of mixing whatever potions you find and using a guide or cheat sheet to get the one you want, you just find the recipes and they go into their own inventory for easy use.
-The different weapons all have a good punch to and can be very handy depending on the area. And while you can only get ammo from shops, money is everywhere so you and the machine gun and ray gun have infinite ammo so you should be fine.
-Really good map that shows the whole level so you don’t get lost. And there’s a list of objectives on screen at all times so you know what you should be doing.
-Also, this might be the dev realising how bull crap some of the game could be but there are lives almost everywhere, especially at end game and if you die you just continue from where you are with no penalty. Unless that was your last life.
Neutral:
-I don’t think the journal was finalised correctly as in the story section, the prev button is covering some of the text and most of the enemy pictures don’t match with what you're fighting.
-The art might be a bit subjective. While it’s not that dark and gritty, it can be a bit ugly for some. And the comic style pages between levels don’t really explain what’s happening well.
-Also, why do we keep the machine gun instead of replacing it with the ray gun when enemies stop getting hurt by it.
-Also, why is there no load button in the pause menu? Saving anywhere is fine but what if I wanted to see if I could do better without going back to the main menu.
Cons:
-The tutorial isn’t that great. Even after playing it, I didn’t understand how some things work like using weapons or how potions work or how swimming works.
-While the potion system has been improved, the game doesn’t tell you the cost of using them and there is a cost.
-The K-IT-TY fight was bullcrap due to the small and hazardous arena in the original and it’s still bull crap now.
-While there is one real small underwater section, it’s one of the worst sections of the game as you can’t see a damn thing, filled to the brim with annoying enemies, you super slow and the underwater potion just resets your breathing so you have to keep using it to survive.
-And if you’re an achievement hunter like me, well some achievements are broken like the spending a certain amount of money one, so tough luck.
6/10
