Is this game actually good and worth the buy?

[-hunter-]

Most of the review section seems to be full of sarcasim and trolling. I can't tell if this games legitmately actually good or people are just memeing it. Is this worth the price tag?

i love that this thread is still going where people are trying to answer questions and sub 40 IQ braindead knuckle dragging ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are still acting like they have not been told to buy it or leave. i have never seen filtering of this level before, its probably better this way.

I purchased with the intention of refunding before the 2 hour mark just to see what the memes were about, however I'm really enjoying it. It's very different to what I have been playing of late and I don't know why but it's entertaining as hell.

That's what im saying bro. I ask a simple question and a handful of people didn't give me a serious answer and they got insulted cause I seriously questioned this game.

I'm with you. I was genuinely interested in the game based on its positive reception but reading through the reviews gave me pause. I came to the forums to find several people in my same situation getting joke responses and basically flamed for daring to ask for some legitimate feedback.

Second time i've checked these forums to see if things had changed yet but afraid not. Maybe ill circle back in 6 months when the hipster kids have moved onto the next fad.

Just watch gameplay of the first mission it's pretty easy to judge but as others have said it does get a little different several missions in. I bought this day one on steam and I have no regrets. Just buy it play it for 2 hours and if you don't like it refund it.

Did you even bother reading 90% of the thread? I cant figure out how after all that, this is the take you leave with. Like I just read all this just now, first time, and I don't get how anybody walks away with this take. People here summed it up rather well. If you like retro shooter gameplay with tons of secrets and unlockables, get it. If you love weird stories and worlds, get it. But if the 90's screensaver graphics are too off-putting or you really really really hate politics in video games, don't get it. It's not that complex.

Unironically this is one of the best games I've played this year just stop debating it and buy it It a bit confusing the gameplay at first but once you understand it, it becomes second nature

After reading through all the comments here, which all seem genuine, including this one, I still cannot take any of it serious.
Then again, there isn't a single comment that doesn't jump around trying to prove a point, this thread is almost as cryptic as the actual reviews.
I also feel like most people who genuinely feel like this is a great game due to "this n that", simply never experienced "this n that" before, probably due to this type of gamers being almost exclusively a twitch following of some rando and thus having little experience outside of the most popular garbage games.

I could be wrong, of course, but's pretty amazing 4 pages of comments has been unable to convince me.

Aren't you the guy who had his own thread asking why people liked the game and then called everyone who answered you a troll? Like last week?

Crazy how much this thread blew up in responses and popularity. I never expected so many people to react to my initial question if the game was worth it.

Did you ever get the answer you were looking for? My two cents: It's good. I was skeptical, myself, but I went ahead and bought it during the sale. I've beaten it fully and can say I don't regret the purchase. It's fun. Hard as hell, at times, but fun. The gameplay is much as others have described: a bit of tactical shooter, a bit of immersive sim. The graphics are hideous, the user interface is... unique, but everything works to make the game kind of special. I can honestly say there's nothing else out there quite like it.

Yeah I got the answer I was looking for. There were a lot of helpful people who were actually being serious and didn't use the sarcastic joking that half of this community uses. I'm not seeming to understand the whole "corporate" thing that people keep rambling about or the trolls.

worst thing is they pushing this corporate mindset as if it was a good thing.. if they were meming something peacefull or atleast progressive or whatever, but no they make jokes about the things that literally destroy gaming, maybe this game is just a strawman project to desensitize for corporate marketing

like in 5 years its completly normal to pay 50$ for a skin, which you need to finish the level and those people will be like "its just what ceos do, ill buy one" "yea, haha, those ceos, amirite, ill buy one too"

well GG WP NO RE

btw thank you @cobaltgeo

but tbh i do not have that corporate mindset that this game seems to require, im not a fan of games like cyberpunk, assassins creed, mass effect andromda or any of those "corporate" games which seem to be made for the same audience..... lol(?)

The extremely ironic thing about this post is that based off the lore in the game you'd probably agree with the core themes of it.

Excuse my low hours because I originally pirated this and thought the devs definitely deserved the purchase, but I say buy it and refund it if you don't like it, you'll be able to tell very quickly from the first two levels whether you're vibing with it or not and that can easily be done in under an hour. This game genuinely is an experience you have to feel first hand, watching it be played and playing it is a drastically different feeling.

Maybe you'll hate it and refund, maybe you'll shift into that CEO mindset, or maybe you'll find something more important than money under all the layers in this game ;)

If you do pick it up two things I recommend is going back to your HQ after every level and talking to everyone there for the world building, and looking at a couple speedruns of levels to see how you should be playing after you get comfortable with the controls and have enough money to buy some augments. Because the biggest thing I've learned from reviews of this game is that people who are good at it and people who are bad at it play it like two completely different games.

The corporate thing is from the game, itself. It's them trying to tell an in-joke to someone who's not on the inside, so they can try to feel smart.

It's a good game when you can get into it. Some people will probably be turned off by the visual style and the unusual controls but the gameplay is genuinely gripping and there's a lot to explore.

Someone doesn't have a corporate mindset.....

"xD so funny mr ceo"

i mean i get it but i think its just childish that there is not a single topic where someone gives a serious answer

im really interested and invested in indi games and i came to the discussion about some information but all information i can get is:
this game is played only by kids who hype it with memes and sarcasm and never really answer anything questioned about the game and they get insulting very quick if someone is not laughing about there corporate mindset jokes

and what is so funny about a corporate mindset?
dont you know corporate mindsets brought us games like fallout 76, cyberpunk, mass effect andromeda, far cry 5, dead rising 4 and the microsoft kinect?

or would you say "cyberpunk is actually a good game"?

and btw, arent you too young to be ceo?

What are you talking about? If I didn't believe in what I was doing, I'd simply leave and find another job.

Its alright. The enemies are pretty brain dead, and simply walk up to you until they're in range and start shooting. The gunplay feels alright and the levels themselves aren't anything remarkable. Behind its biopunk aesthetic, and anti-corporate paint.. its really just another shooter. The gem is in its aesthetic, but honestly thats the only thing unique about it.

[Gnoll]

It's not good for YOU, that's for sure.
