It is fun the first one or two times, and then you realize how broken it is and the game falls apart fast.
I don't find this mechanic fun at all. I find it ridiculous and innapropriate. Serious game or silly game ?
Impossible to be both and coherent at the same time.
Legendary games >< just another video game.
I think both can be present in the same game. Brevity and humour can help make seriousness more digestible. However, it can prove to be a detriment too. There needs to be a balance and often times you want the humorous stuff to not overlap too much with the serious stuff.
Its why the animal climbing ladders thing I am mostly fine with, while the distance of shove I am not.
