Game is Sexy. Preem Software. Celerity. This game showed me who Daniel Deluxe is. His music is also Pure Fire. Cheers.

Мне очень понравилось бегать в этой игре, уворачивать от пуль, отражать их обратно во врагов. На уровнях есть хорошие скилчеки, которые датут понять в чем вы плохи. Но последний уровень лютый кал, где просто насрали красными шарами.. найс боссфайт

This game reminded me of Portal Prelude (the brutal fan project), Superhot (an indie first person puzzler), Magrunner (another indie first person puzzler), and Tower of Guns (indie first person roguelike). The art, the sound, the world are pretty awesome. Some designs are kind of in the vein of Metal Gear Rising. The gameplay is also pretty fun overall. The puzzle sections in the VR world are okay, but I thought they break the pacing of the game at least to me. You spend 80% of the time in heart pumping action, but then you need to go and do some jump puzzles and solve a spinning wheel on the wall which are slow and tedious. What ruins it for me is some completely unnecessary challenge spikes and seemingly random hit detection. I played for > 5 hours but hit detection is still a mystery to me. I can't pinpoint whether a bullet, or a laser will hit me at all. I figured out some moves/timing combos that may increase my chances of passing a section, but it's never close to percentages high enough for it to be satisfying. These difficulty spike sections are sprinkled here and there and really are a detractor for me. Some acrobatics sections are also unfairly difficult. The main problem is that you need to treat these very difficult sections like frenetic action puzzles. Just die a lot until you figure it out completely or just get lucky, but at the end of the level the results screen will chastize you by displaying your embarrasing death conut. So the game insists on ranking "the most able ones". At least that's the feeling it conveys on the first playthrough. Obviously death counts on consecutive playthroughs are different when you know the rules and know the answers to the action puzzles already.

Satisfying gameplay and combat, movement feels smooth and tight. Some parkour puzzles can be a bit annoying and the game itself all that long so it doesn't overstay its welcome.
