I love this game. Have done everything there is to do in it on the PS4. What is it? A top down twin stick shooter set in a dark awful cyberpunk world. You are on a mission of violence. But the combat feels so good. As satisfying as hotline miami but quite different. The only unfortunate thing is that this is so good that much like Hotline Maimi when looking for like games like it none of them are able to scratch thatbsake itch. The atmosphere, the story, the gameplay. All amazing. I unfortunately don't remember the music as I had a Perturbator playlist on and it paired so well I forgot it was on till I beat the game and even then it just worked so well and fit so well that I kept to that but added a few other artists to my Ruiner playlist haha. But of cyberpunk is your genera. Or twin stick shooters you're game. This is a gritty and great pairing of the two. I recomend highly and will enjoy the romp myself again no doubt.
I want to start by saying this is one of the best and most well made games I have played. The art, the theme, the music, the classes, the VO, the story gods the story, the combat. Everything about this game is so very well made and refined. And you can play it forever. I have been playing it since it came out in early access and am literally playing it again now. And that I must digress. I am adding to the conversation of this game due to nonsense reviews being considered helpful. If you don't like games with RNG it's not for you. If you don't like games that punish you. It's not for you. Don't leave a negative review because the game isn't what you like in games. I hate survival crafting games. They are the most pointless waste of time on the planet to me. Same with mobas. So I don't review those games as some people enjoy that type of game and at the end of the day they are not for me quite clearly. People are griping about being inflicted with position changes in combat. While several classes have skills that answer this. Or status ailments. Same thing. These are core mechanics in the game and you can do the same to your enemies tripping them up as well. The combat is extremely well balanced. Punishing with more dificult enemies. Yes. But that is half the point. You will lose people and at times it will be devistating. People will break, die, cause terrible problems for the whole party under stress. You will be punished for mistakes and sometimes RNGesus will step on you and destroy your favorite characters. And it's wonderful in that. It gives a feeling of hopelessness at times. Instills dispondance in a run. Ramps up the tension. Do I attempt another room? Do I stay put? Can we survive? If Just one survives I can get past this. I don't want to play a game where I can just turn it on and win. What's the point? This, you have to claw your way to the end through a path made of the corpses of your friends. That is beauty.
