Impressions
Gameplay
8 / 10
Turd Feast 4 has a lot of different gameplay styles, but unlike TF3, they're all at least decent. The final castle level was a bit slow and a few levels might've had some slightly annoying parts, but most of them were entertaining. The large number of checkpoints definitely helped.

Unlike the last game, this one actually tells you how stuff works and how to do things. It's amazing how much you can improve a game by actually telling me how to play it.

The story and humor are still a bit "all over the place". Some of the story beats are kind of neat (and I appreciate the "extra" chapter), but it feels like a vague afterthought most of the time. The humor is sometimes very good and sometimes very bad, but this is the first TF game that managed to make me actually chuckle, so props to it for that.

I would definitely say that this game is superior to the first three in basically all aspects.
 
Graphics
8 / 10
The artstyle continues being pretty good. Some of the graphics in this game are a bit worse than in TF2, but it's still a real visual feast (of turds).
 
Sound
9 / 10
Lots of good music. SMRPG always gets a thumbs up from me. The sound effects continue being... interesting.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
If you're only going to consume one Turd Feast, make it this one.

Unless the next one is better. I wouldn't know, I haven't played it yet.

I kept delaying the 5th one because it is exhausting to build a game that ambitious. I passed the project to someone else but I am not sure how much they'll get it done.

However, I have plans to remake the first 2 because it is much simpler with existing material but with humor/gameplay alterations. Since it's almost 10 y...oh good lord...a decade.
