It's wild they're still updating this game as much they do. It's fun with friends.

Way too addicting, but very fun.

Really enjoyed this game. definitely recommend it.

Expected dark souls with guns and it did not disappoint.

So far, I've really enjoyed my time with it. I put in around 12 hours yesterday alone. The bosses have been pretty fun to learn their patterns, weaknesses and just in general how to fight. smaller enemies spawning during the fights was annoying at first until i learned how to juggle them at the same time. My main complaint is the levels can be large, really repetitive and time consuming to explore.

Either way, I think this has become one of my new favorite games.
I'd give it a 8.5/10 and definitely recommend getting it during a sale.

I got it from humblebundle choice. Get it from there while you can, it's a really good deal!

It's extremely similar to the previous game, just in 3d. If you enjoyed the other game, you'll like this one. I haven't gotten far enough yet to say what's new other than the graphics(it's mostly the same so far), but i'm thoroughly enjoying it. The new UI and 3d assets give it a fresh feel.

great metroidvania, with fun gear combinations to try out different character builds, nice art, frequent updates with new content. the combat is fun and fluid, but can be frustrating; especially with the roguelike nature of the game. I enjoyed it. 8/10.

Hardest boss so far is the awful keyboard controls and you can't rebind them. Hands hurt after 10 minutes. Maybe i'll like it after I try it with a controller, but for now it's practically unplayable.

I heard good things about this game from a friend about all the ways you can approach a situation and wanted to like it, but it's WAY overrated. How did this get such good reviews? It's poorly designed and incredibly amateur. It tried to borrow some ideas from Deus Ex and put them in a randomly generated 2d game which is a good idea if you have the skill to pull it off.

The map generation and level chunks look awful and are poorly implemented. The "pixel art" is mediocre. Some stages have random effects happening the entire time. On one stage you suffer random every 10 seconds like getting paralyzed, dizzy, confused over and over or growing into a giant for no reason. On another missiles were raining from the sky the entire time. In my game they broke a random wall which caused the npcs to get hostile and killed me over it. That's terrible design.

It has a lot of items you can use in unique ways which is cool, but it wasn't enough to save the game imo. I was excited to try this, but personally i thought it was boring and infuriating.

It's good, but I think I still like old school better. Maybe it's nostalgia? idk.

I didn't play System Shock when it came out. I have no nostalgia for it. I think it was my 3rd attempt trying to play it before I started to get into it, This game is amazing. By the time I completed it, I started to think about the remake being made and how skeptical i am that it'll capture the magic of the original. I think I actually liked this as much or maybe even more than System Shock 2. I liked the pixel art graphics, even though things were not very apparent as to what they are, but after a few hours your mind connects the dots, everything beings to look and feel right. I got really immersed into the world after a couple hours. I did my first playthrough on the 2222 normal difficulty settings. The wire puzzles were really annoying and some of the combat encounters were pretty tough. I had to learn to use everything effectively. I need to do a 3333 max difficulty run now for the last achievement which I look forward to except for the 7 hour time limit to complete the game and wire puzzles.
I thought I may never complete this game when I first tried it, but now it may be one of my favorite games of all time.

MAJOR TIP:
+There's a button for making your single click act like a double click. I think it's Alt by default, but I made it 'B' and using that actually made the game playable for me because I couldn't stand double clicking EVERYTHING all the time.
+Press 'E' to toggle between cursor mode and Free-look which feels like a normal FPS.
+Customize the controls to use shortcut keys as much as you can so you don't have to interact with the crazy interface and play in fullscreen mode.
