In a world where mustaches run wild and the only law is the law of awesome, 'Gunman Clive HD Collection' brings two masterpieces of pixelated chaos to the PS4. After all, why let your favorite retro games gather dust while you complain about modern titles? It's time to dust off those collectible figurines and get ready to save the mayor's daughter. Spoiler alert: she has a habit of getting kidnapped a lot.
'Gunman Clive' drops you straight into a bounty of action. Think of it as 'Mega Man' meets 'Red Dead Redemption' but with less cowboy hats and more random anthropomorphic enemies. Players control either the rugged Clive or his lady counterpart, Ms. Johnson, as they blast their way through various enemies to rescue the mayor's daughter-a girl who apparently has a romantic flair for muscle-bound gunslingers. Each of the 20 levels is a treat, filled to the brim with bandits who've clearly mistaken dynamite for an effective substitute for therapy.
Let's talk visuals, shall we? The game's art style is reminiscent of a sketchbook-one that accidentally skipped the part where you color inside the lines. This wonderfully chaotic design provides a nostalgic slap that's only rivaled by your grandma's questionable holiday decorations. The graphics may not have the high-polish look of AAA titles, but you don't need high-res pixels to enjoy the crazy antics unfolding in this Wild West-meets-cyberpunk mash-up.
'Gunman Clive HD Collection' is like that beloved action figure you rediscover decades later. It's charming, goofy, and hits you straight in the nostalgia. The game's short length isn't a problem, because just like the perfect snack size, sometimes you just want a delightful burst of fun without the shame of a full-course meal. With a plethora of power-ups, challenging bosses, and enough charm to fill your room with sunshine and hearty laughter, this game is definitely worth your time. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a newcomer looking for something slapstick and outrageous, this collection has you covered. Grab your guns, find that cowboy hat, and let the swift justice begin-after all, there's a mayor's daughter waiting to be saved, and you wouldn't want to keep her waiting, now would you?
