Looore

Cons:
Less linear gameplay
Randomly located rooms (makes it hard to find certain quest NPCs)
Powerful weapons aren't added to your weapons cache (if you die in a boss battle, you have to go find the weapon again)
Can't skip dialogue when re-trying a boss battle after death
Game won't default to fullscreen (annoying to change setting every startup)
No tax documents to rip :(
Abrupt ending

If you liked the first Turnip Boy game, you'll definitely enjoy this one. It's got the humor, cute art style, and clever references of the first game. However, this game is played in "runs," where you start in a weapons room, pick your items, then enter the bank and get all the money you can (and talk to any NPCs you find) before your timer runs out. Then you leave the bank, return to the weapons room, equip new items if necessary, and enter the bank at the beginning again. If you die, you return to the weapons room and have to re-enter the bank and find your way back to where you were. I found this aspect frustrating, especially as more of the map is unlocked.

Also, some rooms ("elevators") are randomly swapped every time you enter the bank. This means these rooms have to be re-located every time, or may not appear at all. This was frustrating when I wanted a specific NPC or weapon that only appears in one of those rooms.

Suggestions:
More things to do with money in endgame (I didn't even get the promised piña colada :( )
Add a way to more easily access the elevator rooms -- maybe a very expensive dark web item?
Add way to access weapons after death without defeating a boss again (or, if there already is a way, make it more clear)
Add better descriptions for items to explain their use BEFORE you buy them (like the train ticket or milk)
Does Tangerine Dog do anything? Besides get stuck on walls? If not, it should. Like barking at enemies?
More detailed map (kept getting lost in the Dark Docks)
What happened with the pomegranate and Crancran?
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BANANA????
