It makes sense when it was the same team as in X1 wanting to do another go, but yeah, it was really solid even if it took me a bit to find some things, but revisiting it will be sweet.
On that note, X3 was actually outsourced to a different team...which might be the reason why, beyond trying to spice things up in the third game already, they went for some particular changes...that definitely embody that IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT line.
Because they did break some things trying to reinvent them.
...It isn't as incredibly bad as that sounds [the more broken games await after X4] but when I get to talk about X3, you'll see what I mean with weird changes.
Thanks for reading and for your comment - glad that you enjoyed the extra detail 😃
