It is one of those physics-based games that can be fun and annoying at times. I had my fun with it, especially at that price!

I bought the Ultimate Edition recently for $20 so I’m good, but it is a pretty shitty move to lock the next-gen versions behind the Ultimate Edition.

I guess “don’t buy games at launch”? I picked it up for $20 on PS4 before any of the DLC so I don’t mind getting the whole thing at once on my preferred platform.
