A solid game

I enjoyed the atmosphere, the writing, and the twists of the game, without the gameplay interferring. The art style is fitting and likeable, the music picks up as the game progresses, and the world consists of a good mixture of cyberpunk and quirkiness. I am not a fan of twin-stick shooters, but I still enjoyed the gameplay aspect of it. So, why not 5 stars? The writing is befitting a small game - the world that the game portrays could certainly use an expansion. I was left wanting to discover more than the generic "kill the big corporate" story. The characters were a bit too "classical" for a cyberpunk genre, and the lack of novelty in the story department was clear to me. Also, bugs. Nothing game-breaking, but when a mandatory boss yeets out of the level doing its scripted run, and all you are left with is an inescapable arena, a health bar, and nothing to hit - you have to restart the level. I am looking forward to the next game this new studio does - I think they have potential.

A tribute to the cyberpunk genre

Alright the game is a blast. The only potential problem it comes with imo is the KB+M controls (WASD is tilted, just as the view), as they take some getting used to and can become quite frustating, especially when you die because - say - you wanted to dash north but dashed north-east instead. I guess "played best with a gamepad" is especially relevant here, to sum it up. Other than than minor potential flaw, lets see what we 've got: Art Design: Cyperpunk to the core, the best way to describe it is Ghost in the Shell on steroids. Its color palette predominantly consists of bright neon reds mixed with darker colors, and is set from the very beginning to put you in a dark and violent place. Soundtrack: The sound of Ruiner is mainly made of dark synths and industrial/dark techno beats that couldn't be a better fit to the aforementioned atmosphere. Meanwhile, some of the tracks are among the best I've heard in a game ever. Gameplay: It's been a long time since I've played something so... addictive. Yes, addictive is certainly the word. Its clearly an action game that focuses mostly on fast reflexes and efficient management of your skills. Other than making life-or-death split-second decisions, you must also choose carefully how you spend your skill points for each situation (and there is a wide arsenal of skills at your disposal), and effectively manage those skills during combat, which means that spamming the attack button alone won't get you far. Duration/Replayability: It's certainly not a long game, perhaps ~10 hours on your first playthrough depending on difficulty, maybe less. You can play the main story in 3 difficulty levels (easy, normal, hard), and then there's NG+, speedrun mode and arena mode to keep you busy for a while. Story: Personally I liked the story, some others find it a bit anticlimactic though. In any case, it's gonna keep you guessing till the end, and there are some plot twists you certainly won't see coming. Overall, its been great.

No Compromise. All Ultra-Violence.

NOTE: I have this game on Steam. Ruiner is, in essence, a twin-stick shooter. You control a nameless guy with a cybernetic arm and a weird screen-like mask that covers his entire head on his way to kill The Boss aka "Big Dog"; at least that's your main goal for the first ten to fifteen minutes of the game when - surprise! - a lot of excrement hits a spinning object. Your choices in this game are mostly limited to how your enemies die (or you, if you're not careful). While there's a large arsenal of guns melee weapons, the choice mostly boils down to slashing things or putting holes in them. It should also be noted that all but your basic gun and melee weapon have limited ammo or durability, so you end up pick up weapons from fallen enemies A LOT. The controls, being critical, are positively tight. I personally played through this game using a gamepad, though some may prefer KB+M. The overall design of Ruiner is much closer to classic 80s cyberpunk Anime than any western cyberpunk setting. This serves to give the game a somewhat fresh and unique look compared to other contemporary cyberpunk games. The action is fast-paced and, at times, combat can be challenging. That being said, I've often seen this game being criticized for its high level of difficulty, and while that may have been true in the past, the developers released some updates to game balance and (I think) a new easy mode along with it, which shouldn't be a problem for the average gamer - much less for experienced players well-accustomed to the twin-stick genre. So, do I like Ruiner? Hell yes! I like it very much. It knows what it is; it's a brutal, fast-paced action game set in a world full of bad and even worse people. The high-contrast red/black look of the game (sometimes with a dash of bright cyan) together with the fantastic - if unusual - soundtrack help to make Ruiner a game that you won't forget easily. If not for its gameplay, then definitely for its style.
