How does Redneck Rampage rate among Build engine games?

Playing this for the first time and I'm actually enjoying it after hearing nothing but bad things. It's definitely a step down from Duke/Blood/SW but it's still a solid shooter. Why all the hate?

Build engine games where the peak of singleplayer FPS campaigns

>levels actually resemble real places (movie theaters,graveyards) and have a logic to them instead of being abstract mazes like what he Doom engine was limited to
>2D sprites that have aged better and are still more appealing than the early 3D of the time
>from an era where FPS arsenals were more creative than just a different varietys of hitscan weapons
>protagonists had a personality and memorable lines instead of being silent grunts/self-inserts
>non-linear level design with which encouraged exploration with secrets and secret levels

Its funny that its only now that games are being made that resemble this with the indie retro FPS revival. For a decade games that were called a throwback to retro FPS like Painkiller, were just Serious Sam clones that locked you in a room with enemies.
