cybervoid sections are abysmal, story is generic and intrusive (i turned off speech after about an hour), but outside of that the arena gameplay is superb. just wish there were less of the everything else that isnt arena gameplay
the person that thought adding in forced environmental slide puzzles in their cyberpunk FPS game about doing sick ninja slides and slicing dudes in half at the speed of light should be tried at the hague
yeah the puzzles aren’t great, story constantly being shoved at you in voiceover feels a bit cheap n boring, but man this game feels like Sekiro meets Doom Eternal meets Celeste (or something like that) which is just such an amazing winning combo for me. certainly flawed in very obvious ways but still pretty excellent.
I have a friend whose least favourite game is this. I don't really get it from the gameplay I've seen but I wonder if anyone else can speak to this as a viscerally negative experience
I didn't like this game either, gave up before it got excruciatingly difficult. It's one of those games that seems like it should be easy to play hard to master but inevitably has too many issues due to dev oversights like what classifies as a platform in terms of what sliver jagged cyberpunk terrain counts, or bad rats levels of restarting a level and enemies shoot in completely randomized patterns if you try to do something that worked the first time and then you just get completely destroyed. It's extremely rage inducing and it's like the game is trolling you. Other than that it doesn't have anything unique to offer in terms of aesthetic it's practically one of those grapple hook games that you find a dime a dozen on steam like Cyber Hook or Verlet Swing where the game feels like its taking the piss by fucking you over with its poor level design and doesn't have that "one more time" factor the same way hotline miami does, it's very much a nu-indie game. Something for redditor types to go "this game is SO COOL!" and offers nothing substantial of gameplay that those grapple hook games don't already offer.
and the music slaps.
high points: incredible fighting mechanics
definitely a mixed bag, but when the game is good it is stunningly fun to me
