I don't like scary games generally. I'm willing to make an exception for the Spooky Aliens Game but I'm already terrified of the ocean and can't imagine why I'd want to gamify that.

a lot of the core mechanics in nes and snes era games just plain suck. at best they are well intended but flawed because developers hadn't yet honed the concepts down, at worse they are just ported over quarter-eating bullshit from arcade games that were more frustrating than fun. it's funny seeing long-running series keep the appearance of the mechanics while completely gutting them to make sure they aren't frustration sources anymore. people would flip out about a Mario game with infinite lives and no coins/1UPs so they keep that mechanic in but give you so drat coins and lives that there's practically no way you'll risk running out.

if you quickly build the seaglide and a bunch of high-capacity air tanks it is possible to get all the way to the sea emperor, cure yourself, and disable the gun platform before the ship even arrives, in which case the crew says there's a debris field preventing them from landing and they just leave instead

really though the game is pretty fun EXCEPT for inventory management. maybe I’m just used to minecraft where storage is cheap and easily obtained, but god drat is it a hassle here.

apart from glitchiness and other performance issues, inventory management is 100% the worst part of the game
