I support gay wrongs. And cool music and great vibes and unique and fun mechanics and brilliant writing and beautiful art and the best and most interesting protagonist I've seen in a while. But mostly the sexy demons. It's like SWERY made a direct to soap opera version of every Wong Kar Wai film at once. It's survival horror but the horror is your mom asking you when you're going to settle down and give her some grandchildren because you never call and she's so lonely ever since she retired and you really should come visit for the weekend it's just a short trip and your aunt will be there etc etc.

I can't recommend this enough. Brilliant. I'm waiting with baited breath for their next project.

Whats there is great, but there's too many things going on for any of them to feel fully developed by the end of the game. It's fun, but far too underdeveloped.

Utterly brilliant blend of different ideas and styles and concepts into something beautiful and unique and new. The puzzles are well designed, and while I still haven't finished the game, the "aha" moments right before wildly wonderful cutscenes are definitely gonna stick with me. It's the best game Cosmo D and Swery never made. I can't recommend it enough. Can't wait to get back in and melt my brain and lavish my eyes again.

Edit: Just beat it. 10/10. 2024 might be the best year for games yet.

Very enjoyable for the short time but nothing really sticks with me past the end credits. The writing is good, the presentation is very nice, and the music is lovely. As a small project, it really shows off the skills of the devs, and I'd love to see them take on a more ambitious project! I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun little survival horror.

I feel empty inside. I'm going to call my mother and tell her I love her.

I want to kiss every developer for this on the mouth I have dreamed this game but never thought it could be real. If you have ever enjoyed a fps this game is for you.

I'm not even disappointed, because there isn't enough to disappoint. At this point, being a Destiny player is just weariness and being dragged along by a company that traded excellent story and game-play in for nickle and diming its player base to provide just enough of a minimum viable product to keep what players they have engaged enough to spend money and to get the "player engagement" statistic high enough for the executives and investors. Go play a better game, like Warframe, or Anthem, or Bad Ratz.

Whoof. Given the time put into this game so far, the current lack of content and horrible optimization does not bode well for the future. Right now, it's overpriced and underdelivered, even for an early access. Maybe in a few years when they drop the price and add more content (right now it's behind even the prequel in terms of stuff to do and build with) and when the game can get frame rates in the double digits, I'll recommend it. In the meantime, KSP 1 is right there. Most disappointing sequel since Pacific Rim Uprising.

I'm not too proud to admit I cried.

It's not a long game, but it's never boring, and the two main characters, Colt and Julianna have to be the most entertaining in recent gaming history. For the price of admission, you get the best soundtrack and style I've ever seen Arkane pull off, in the best gameplay sandbox I've ever seen, period.
