No spoilers here, but rest assured that the boss fights are absolutely insane. Though the game never reaches quite the same level of offensive absurdity as The Stick of Truth, the boss fights generally feel more ambitious and smartly-designed for the most part, no doubt aided by the more nuanced combat system.

Some boss battles will have you swearing in frustration as much as they'll send you into hysterics, naturally representing the most challenging aspect of the game, even if there's not much here that'll require more than a few attempts.

Rest assured, though, that Stone and Parker have a few shocking surprises left up their sleeves, with one boss in the game's third act ensuring you'll feel guilty for laughing as hard as you definitely will.
