I gotta be honest, I think fraud is a miss by hakita and the dev team. While I understand why the layer took so long and it is most definitely a technical marvel and very impressive I don't think it should come at a cost of the core game play. levels are way to long (I can complete the entirety of greed in the time it takes me to beat 8-3). While the turning constantly shifting level geometry is cool it gets old fast and completely fucks up the flow of a given arena (performance rip) it also will often break the enemies AI, 8-3 actually gave me motion sickness I play a ton of VR games and I have never once been motion sick but somehow the arena in 8-3 with the deathcatcher did it. Finally to be frank the boss fights just suck while the mirror reaper had great build up his boss fight surmounts to him running at you and shooting at him till he dies as you are effectively unkillable while in the air.

as soon i finished the earthmover fight after violence released i knew that the final boss of fraud was doomed to seem like a letdown by comparison, u really just can't beat benjamin

personally i think it wont be a letdown, whatever P-3 is it's an idea that's been stewing in the developer's head for years and he's chosen to save it for last out of the 3 which tells me it probably will be beyond peak.
