As a counterpoint, I’ve not had any problem with the weapons. I went with the s whip though. I think there are 4 or 5 - you pick one to start with and unlock the rest throughout the game.

It does take a minute to get the timing right on the burrow mechanic because you do jump up before diving underground and you’re vulnerable during that jump. I grew up with the NES though, so that old school style is what I got used to. I learned how to swim through the underwater plants in TMNT; I beat Link’s Adventure without the…cheat thing I can’t remember because I’m old now… Game Genie.

It is far darker than the art style let’s on though.
