i think it's really easy to call this game cringe almost a decade after its release, but at the time, the 80's throwback thing hadn't completely been done to death.
The 80s throwback of Hotline Miami still holds up, same is true of Double Dragon Neon. Both came out in 2012, a year prior to Blood Dragon. I remember the style being old hat even in 2013, that isn't the problem, the issue with Blood Dragon is that it doesn't do it well.
The graphical style is a bit monotone however the story makes much more sense than Far Cry 3's and the characters are infinitely more likeable. An absolute blast to play through in about 5-6 hours.
