Some pieces of entertainment cross lines of decency with purpose and wit in an attempt to challenge or educate us. Many others cross those lines unknowingly, out of ignorance rather than malice. But Blue Estate vaults over these lines knowingly, willfully, and for seemingly no reason but to wallow in adolescent squalor. Its many failed attempts at humor make its bog-standard rail-shooter gameplay all the more unbearable, but the worst part is how gleefully self-assured it is in its outdated notions of writing and design.
You only need to play Blue Estate for a minute or two to know everything there is to know about its 3ish hour-long play time. It’s an old-school arcade rail-shooter, one that doesn’t add any interesting new twists to hide the fact that all you’re doing is pointing at something and pressing a button to make it die over and over.
