Ruiner

When I first bought Ruiner, I was expecting a re-hash of Hotline mixed with some cyberpunk - and I wasnt too far off Where I went wrong was - Ruiner added some really fun mechanics to the mix, skills, active dodge, and a decent amount of guns to keep each level and play through interesting. Seeing that each review seems to really have Pro / Con as a center, I'll do that I suppose. Pro: You know what you're going to get from the combat, throw in some fun little skills and ideas to really play a little more how you want to. (I.E. mostly guns or melee) Soundtrack keeps up with the action, but stays as a background instead of a forefront to enjoyment. Very little issues with bugs / crashing World feels fantastic, and you wish for more, which leads into... Cons: You wish for more out of the world, no real choices, story is short and to the point, people in the world are normally for one or two things and then never spoken to again. Desire for more between battle Arenas, after the 5th long hallway, you feel like its less about exploring and just start going into speedrun mode. More DLC / Story / Content would be loved by most people. Furi suffered from this as well. I'd give it 6/10 for the genre, Furi and Hotline Miami have more to offer, but if you don't like boss rush games, do this over Furi. I really enjoyed it, but it didnt do anything to push the limits. Just offered more of the same, but still done well. (5 being an average game, this isnt fucking IGN

As in title. Worth the price, great atmosphere, setting, and fun, replayable gameplay loop.

Action packed top down shooter that will keep you entertained with its addictive gameplay and a gal calling you puppy. If you liked the Hotline Miami saga and are interested in cyberpunk themes, this is probable the game for you. It has a lot of style, there were a few times I thought the scenery was too dark, but that is a minor issue.

Great fighting game with cyberpunk setting

It's a game that can draw you in immediately, the art style, the fast paced combat, that absolutely killer soundtrack. There's a hell of a lot of world building that really makes you wish there was some more to it, that you got to dig in deeper. Likewise, a lot of characters are introduced that you just don't get to interact with much and it doesn't go much of anywhere. In particular the end of the game feels very rushed, plot lines are very quickly introduced and brought to a conclusion. Don't come in expecting 2077. The combat gets very intense, weapons are plentiful, management of all your abilities becomes paramount to survival. All your skillpoints can be refunded and respent for free at all times so you are never locked into any particular build or play style. So if your current build struggles on an encounter just change it up. On the flipside, being able to and encouraged to respec for encounters takes away the feeling of having a unique build. I'm entirely happy that I played through it, and have no reservations suggesting picking it up.
