Unfortunately, I never got to know if the gameplay was mechanically good, because I had to turn off the game before I got any real abilities or interesting gear.
I pirated it on release and got to the penn and teller boss before I was too demotivated to bother learning the patterns
a few months later when it was free on Epic I figure out the trick of turning off voice and skipping cutscenes and also played on ez mode with the guy who has the pet that revives him - that was enough to get me to chip away at it until I beat it
