So I actually like Rick and Morty and so was interested in what a Rick and Morty video game would be like.
You play as a guy with a talking gun called Kenny who's basically just the Morty character in a gun. Then you get a few more guns and they talk too but they're all kind of one dimensional without any character depth nor backstory.
The humour is funny sometimes but a lot of it is too improv, like those Rick and Morty episodes where they watch TV, but half the game dialogue is like that which makes it seem rather low effort.
The atmosphere is nice tho. Scifi writers still haven't got over the success of BSG back in the day and so most scifi is still hardcore gritty realism stuff which was nice at the time but is getting a bit boring now. It's good to have a colourful comedy scifi universe sometimes too.
It was entertaining enough to get to the end without getting bored anyway. Not bad overall.

BSG wasn't that successful.
It struggled not to get cancelled twice in it's run and, when it almost dipped out due to the writer's strike, this was almost the end of the entire show:
Personally, I think this would have been much better.

It did change (or play a part in changing) scifi writing in that era though. Up until that point if you thought of scifi you thought of crappy Star Trek inspired cheese. No one was writing anything with characters that behave like real people etc
