TaleSpin (PS4 version)

I don't know that calling "Talespin" bereft of merit is warranted, I have nice things to say about it, but it's not one for easy compliments. Here goes my list of positives: the 8-bit rendition of the theme song sounds like Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner", there's something interesting about a sidescrolling shoot-em-up in which you have to move backwards, and its upgrade system getting halfway towards being good is more than most modern UbiSoft titles can manage. That said, I can't imagine even exceptional gamers getting any meaningful progress in bad bullet hell without the Disney Afternoon Collection's rewind button.
