Some levels are pretty vast and large, and it&apos;s a blast being able to fly around with the jetpack.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It comes from an era when videogames were made to be pure fun,&#8221; business development director Larry Kuperman added.<\/p>\n<p>Spending a little time with PO&apos;ed: Definitive Edition myself, I was immediately confronted with roaming aliens I can only describe as looking like asses\u2014and I don&apos;t mean the equine kind\u2014with chicken legs attached, who I pummelled into goo with a large, impressively durable frying pan. I eventually discovered a kind of magic cleaver that I could chuck at enemies without limit, giving me a primitive but effective ranged option.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery inline-layout\">\n<div
