Pass unless you're a twinstick freak
RUINER is an incredibly middle of the road title. The best part of this game is the witch house soundtrack and the character sketches. Everything else is forgettable. The story is basically just 'save your brother' but everyone has a CRT glued to their forehead. The gameplay is twinstick shooting and melee. You've seen it done better elsewhere. Graphics are pretty meh. The red/black color scheme is simply not very appealing and the only reason it isn't as grating as it could be is because RUINER is only like 3 or 4 hours long. The modeling is straight up bad, which is why I think they leaned on the color scheme. The sketches are great, until you see the in-game model too close. Then everyone looks like Gumby. There are skills and skill trees with various degrees of gamebreaking buffs. Dash forever? Yup, that's broken. Frag grenade with some big damage? Not really. Oddly enough it's kind of nice being able to customize your difficulty this way, but I'd rather just not have a skill tree and have a game balanced around consistent mechanics. I've heard people say the game is hard, and it kind of is before you get good skills, but I died more to my own stupidity than the game itself. Not paying attention to traps and trying to skirt by unavoidable damage during a puzzle segment killed me more than the actual combat. There are nice checkpoints too, so I think the game is fairly forgiving. Like I said: the high points are the music and the art. I think you could safely watch a stream or a Let's Play of this game and get the highlights. Your money is better spent buying the soundtrack on here instead. If you're a fan of witch house, there's some big names (within the tiny genre) here like Sidewalks and Skeletons. Buy the soundtrack, browse the concept art for an hour or two, and skip the game.
