it's really boring lol
i played it and it isn't very good
no idea why people think it's the game of the year or whatever, it's super short, most graphics (especially the player character) are extremely low quality and 60% of the gameplay time is dialogue, of which 10% is relevant to the plot and the other 90% is spaghetti jokes, some obnoxious character constantly calling you, and LOTS OF MEMES
it's mostly an atmospheric kind of game. also consider that it was made mostly by just one richardhead
the overworld graphics are low quality on purpose (mostly): to give the autistic player's fantacy some room, and also contrast the animated battle graphics and detailed shop graphics. plus, one run of the game takes 5 to 8 hours, and there's 2 or 3 playthroughs with different endings.
dumb dialogue and
Obnoxious starfish aside, there's a good amount of interactivity and pretty well written lore in the game, not to mention your actions actually having some impact on the story.
i like it but i completely see what you're miffed about
(also there's an option to Riddler the forget out, which gives you some cool bosses and skips pretty much all the annoying dialog)
