one of my favorite puzzle games of all time, most likely my GOTY. my only complaint has to do with the post-game dragging a bit and becoming very RNG heavy for some puzzles, still it is very satisfying to the end!

This game is going to go HARD

the best ps1 racing game of 2024

boring

Doesnt deserve to call itself halo

This game wildly surpassed my expectations, "Oh boy another indie dev trying to bank off the Cyberpunk hype" but no, this is by far the best game i have had the chance of playing in the past 5 years, definitely better than any AAA title in the past 5 years without contest. Easily my personal GOTY in all aspects;

Gameplay: Fun AF, makes you feel powerful but isn't a pushover and has plenty of weapons/skill/build options
Sound: Has a better soundtrack than Cyberpunk 2077 and really accents the gorgeous enviroments; not to mention the combat tracks make me feel like I am playing doom 2016 all over again just slaughtering fools to the epic beats and drops. And i cannot understate how great the general sound design is as well, the big guns punch with proper weight, crowds are loud and bustling, everything sounds just as you would imagine it.
Visuals: This game has some of the BEST visuals I have seen in a video game EVER. Everything is crisp and detailed and not just as far as individual textures but the environments, MY GOD THE ENVIRONMENTS, they are the most full and detailed and cluttered (in a good way) environments I have ever seen, puts other games in its style (and even those that aren't) to shame.
World/Lore: The world and setting for this game is not your daddy's 'Cyberpunk' honestly it feels like cyberpunk and shadowrun had a baby and that baby went to space. it is incredibly unique and well built and engaging, it is worth your time to read, talk, and listen to everything.

I cannot recommend this game more, if you are a fan of good world building, awesome music, sick gameplay, arpgs, twin-stick shooters, heck video games AT ALL, this game is well worth your time. For sure in my top 5 games of ALL time.

yes

As a sequel to DOOM (2016) This game does a poor job of following up fluid and fun combat encounters of shooting demons till they die; now instead it has platforming and "shoot weakpoints to win". Well the platforming is out of place and detracts from the pace and I don't want to think strategically about where to shoot what demons, I JUST WANT TO SHOOT THEM IN THE FACE. not what DOOM (2016)s sequel should have been.

What a Dissapointment...
