Needed to finally finish this before the next game lands in a few weeks time.
Hit a real difficulty spike right at the end game, went away and did some grinding to level up.
Finally beat the last boss and what an ending. Love it when a big game like this ends withSpoiler:
This game is brilliant. Can't wait for the next game.

Soundtrack is banging, the shooting is great, the voice acting is top notch. It's like Max Payne complete with the slow mo diving. It went on a bit too long for me and I wasn't really into the story or the art style and the music could sometimes get irritating, but for what it is it's great. A pick up and play run and gun perfect for steamdeck and there's not that many of them these days.

I think Gameranx or one of their named presenters included that in a list of their games of the year. It looked like a tasteful homage to MP and something I'd like to try.

EvilRedEye wrote:Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (Arcade) - My entire personality is Cadillacs and Dinosaurs now. I’ve been playing the games, I’ve been watching the cartoons and I’ve been struggling to source a copy of the comics. Due to man-made environmental collapse, the Earth becomes uninhabitable for humans and people have to hideout underground, Fallout-style, for hundreds of years. Humankind re-emerges to find that evolution has mysteriously surged in their absence and dinosaurs now once again stalk the Earth. People are divided as to how to live in this new Earth - some decide to respect nature to avoid another catastrophe while others are poachers, disrespecting nature, and some even seek to use science to drastically change or destroy nature. The good nature-loving guys (and gal) of New York are surprisingly hyper-masculine and now drive Cadillacs (powered by dinosaur poop according to the lore) and beat the shit out of poachers with their powerful physiques. Consequently, this well-remembered arcade game is an side-scrolling beat-em-up where you punch, shoot and vehicular-manslaughter your way through eight levels to protect the environment from an evil plot. Three players are able to join the fun and the game adds an original fourth character to the cast so that three fellas can play without one of ‘em having to play as the lady like some kind o’ stinkin’ homo. The sprites are big and the unreconstructedly masculine combat is violent and fun, with blood splattering off enemies as you shotgun them to ribbons and so on. It’s very much a 16-bit side-scrolling brawl on steroids of the kind you simply wouldn’t be able to get on console. It’s a fun game but as a single-player freeplay game it turns into a bit of a mindless slog through the content as the multiplayer focus means you continue on the spot instead of, say, having to use your skills to complete each level within a single continue. The parasite boss is also a bit cheap. I imagine it was very fun to play with friends at the arcade back in the day though. Overall, it’s a solid one-o’-these and worth a look if you like the genre.
