Trying and failing to like Conkers Bad Fur Day (feddit.uk)

I should love this game... I've been trying for years to get in to it, keep thinking it will get better just round the corner but... It's so damn tedious!

I'm at a point near the start where I've just fed the mouse/rat 3 bits of cheese and now I'm trying to climb up and...? Jump in some water? I just keep falling and dying over and over.

Just having a rant! Really want to like this game as much as others seem to...

The controls and camera, as with a lot of games at the time, aren't great. I've played it as an adult after me and my friends being obsessed as teens. I'd guess I'm not the only one that played this game in a friend group and played the hell out of the capture the flag. I think the attraction to the game came a lot from laughing with friends. The main game has bright spots in gameplay for sure, but it can be a real chore at times too. I remember watching the single player struggle even back then.
