overdrive's Super Bonk review

Nice review, brother. I've dived in and bounced off this one so many times, and sometimes I wind up with cognative whiplash as a result. Bonk is one of those games that has a limited appeal to me thanks to its poor controls. It is not a laggy game--or series--but has never felt suitably responsive to make Bonk, and me, feel powerful. The times I have attained any skill with the controls, the levels bore me and I move on to something else that gets it right.

For me, the Bonk series has been one of diminishing returns. I really enjoyed the first TG one and then thought the second and third were, more or less, more of the same, but not quite as fun. And this one was a step below that. For me, I'd say the controls only really have been an issue in boss fights, particularly after the first game. Large enemies where you may only have a small portion that you can hit don't necessarily work when your main move is jumping in the air and directing your head into them.
