This was surprisingly a lot of fun. No idea why playstation is the odd one out of a $4 sale. You can even ram enemies that can damage you by punching to side attack.
Though I did learn with xbox game pass, you can get rewards pretty quickly with bing as a search engine and checking weekly, and retailers keep the $15/month ultimate pricing despite the price increase and core tier, so you can rejoin once stuff you like gets released.
I would also say to buy a used Xbox series s around $200 as xbox generally lacks physical value for the x (and carbon black is a waste for 500 more gigs) and many compatible 360 games go on sale anyway.
I do feel they're the little engine that could given little moments like this, and thankful ratalaika games makes a lot of budget stuff for everyone, so people who can't afford all 3 consoles can get a version at a fair price without the console tax that kemco, square enix (later ports like voice of cards) and kairosoft does. https://www.ratalaikagames.com/games.php
