Just finished this up. Really impressed with the cutscene work. Luke, in particular, was awesome, and I died once during the train/bomb "challenge" because I kept watching Luke and Naniva struggle with the puzzle. The moment when the bag's eyes went wide was super awesome stuff.
I wrote down a few grammatical errors but accidentally closed the document without saving :/
I'll try to go back through and take another look.
I started a new game and played all the way through with no grinding. Carrot sword and Phaseman helm (which miraculously dropped on my first kill). Primary skills were blade flurry and fireball. I died quite a bit on the enraged toy machine, mostly due to me repeatedly messing up the train puzzle and getting hit by bombs like a rookie. I thought it was a nice step up in challenge from the GUN-D4M. In general, I really enjoyed the environmental challenges of the toy factory. I'm not sure if the Yeti take an extremely long time to kill for most folks, or if that's just because I didn't take the time to level grind at all, but fighting two of them at once took a while. I got their plushie though, so it was all worth it. Also, the snowball throwing fellas tend to get stuck among the trees whilst running away from me.
I noticed the theme song of a certain shady character (whose name sort of rhymes with Riley) wasn't used during their cutscene, but that may have been intentional.
That's all I've got for now!
