What game-play wrinkles from the original do you hope they’ve ironed-out?
I want them to make the worm gun better. In the original it worked about as well as you would expect firing worms at people would do…
I want them to retool the “puzzles” so they aren’t just RNG and if there’s budget, finish the ending to be closer to what it was suppose to be. You can tell it was cut short.
Definitely
Worm weapons were easiest way to actually kill yourself in that game. Agreed.
