Fast flailing and failing
I really wanted to like this title. It has loads of style, a fitting but simple story and great cyberpunk atmosphere. Unfortunately I had to put this game down after only a short run. One gripe is the high speed of combat. For the most part you do not have time to aim or anticipate enemy actions, so most of your shots spray past the target, and by the time you are aware of bullets flying toward you from other directions they have already hit. The game doesn't focus on well timed attacks, or strategically picking targets, you just have to go nuts and kill everything as quick as you can while moving as much as possible to avoid dying. This wasn't a gamebreaker for me but those who don't like this type of very fast combat should look elsewhere. The main reason I had to stop playing is that although the game allows you to rapidly dash several times in a row at almost any time by repeated press of the dash button, but I found that it prevented me performing the second dash immediately when I was in the middle of combat and trying to move away from an impending attack, which is when it is needed most. This happened to me more than five times in two minutes early in the game, but when I wasn't about to be shot or stabbed at close range performing rapid consecutive dashes worked just fine. I was not stuck on cooldown, had dash charges to spare, was not stunlocked or recovering from being hit in any way, my game did not stutter or freeze, and there is nothing active which should interfere with the controls. For this core mechanic which is relied on for survival to simply deny use when it really matters is unforgivable, and made it clear to me that I was going to have more frustration than fun. I'd advise others to beware of this problem. I can't in good conscience recommend this game, but I am pushing my rating up to two stars because I really did love the game's style and I did not run into any other technical or performance issues.
