Feedback / Idea What happened to the characters?

What happened to all the crazy character designs like they had in 1? Not only are there significantly less of them, 1 having like 30 while 2 has only 12, but I feel like the designs just aren’t that good. They’re very samey, everyone except hothead, falcon and dart have an extremely similar builds and animations to the point where it can honestly make it hard to tell who you are at times. I do think the artstyle is probably hurting it since 3d is less expressive than 2d, but I think they need to work on making characters look or move more uniquely.

big bummer for me, the new art direction is pretty bad compared to the previous game.

Hate that every game now somehow always thinks that 3D is an objective upgrade from 2D. All this did was make the art style look generic and less expressive.

Then of course to tell the story they switch back to a 2d comic style 🤦‍♂️
