Bruh, you can't even make a proper Döner before investing 30h, f- that

...that are apparent in the first 5 minutes of playing, abysmal gunplay, voicelines cut out if you're not directly looking at the NPC, the tear mechanic is more annoying than anything, the settings menu doesn't have any settings you actually want to change.

The game is unplayable if you don't turn off bloom in the ini files, cause you can't reach it from the settings menu, and even then the fog and floodlights make the game a chore to play at times.

Enemies just randomly spawn within you and almost oneshot you on a high difficulty, none of the plasmids actually help you in any kind of way, you're stuck using possession every time there is a turret or big enemy. Default controls are a joke, even for a console port. (IRONSIGHTS ON V LOL)

I don't know how much weed I need to smoke to call this a masterpiece, cause it's one of the worst games I've played in the last decade.

One of the best of it's kind, but the Dev really takes his time to create the worst UI known to mankind

+ Options on how to build and fight with your character are better and more fun to play around with

You have a lot of playstyles even within a certain main stat, can change them depending on the situation and you can overall create a coherent build serving a purpose. For example when you play with STR as your main stat, you can play a life stealing beserker, a one-punch-man like build or a huge, slow tank with a high lifepool that hits slow and hard. You're not just "strength guy" or "agility guy".

Sadly, that's all of the improvements over PC1.


- It feels quite empty and is more grindy, even without the stat decay.


I did not mind the stat decay many people complained about in the first one at all. But needing to pay for League fights to progress? That feels REALLY bad and doesn't do anything except for slowing you down. Just getting GPP for a fight you paid for, which barely serves any purpose except for story progression, is not rewarding and most of the time you're not struggling to win in the league, you're struggling to get enough money by the time the next sign-up comes up to challenge a fighter that lets you progress.

- Locations having schedules serves no purpose

It's just severely disrupting gameplay flow and a lot of the time you find yourself just trying to waste time to get to a location opening in an hour or two.

- You barely have options to progress your stats

Coaching locks you out of your home gym, neuro training is on a schedule, implants make one of either less effective which creates a cycle of just turning implants on / off and you spend half the time playing managing buffs, disabling things, re-enabling things and trying not to collide with the pointless schedules while doing so

- The game does a bad job of rewarding you for winning

You never really unlock or get anything, no money, no stats, no equipment, no upgrades, nothing. It's just a 'have-to' to progress.
You can even lose the league fights you're getting paid for and still get the money.
You just get slowed down by losing some GPP, which again, doesn't serve a purpose except for progressing the story

- The Skilltree is gated by Storyprogression (GPP)

This has never been an issue for me, but it's still a useless mechanic that just annoys the player for quite literally no reason since the tree is gated by stats already, so it also doesn't make sense for balance reasons

- The "Mastery" of skills does not serve a purpose

It's just a confusing stat that increases, which 'rewards' you with being able to coach said skill on training sessions, nothing else. And it's completely unnecessary even there.

- Also, no romance story option / side quest? No moving out of the gym? Nothing more to look forward to, except for more fighting? I'd have even been happy to just simply move a neuro training machine to my home gym as a reward for progressing leagues, GPP just ANYTHING to reward me for the grind, but nope, we don't even get that.

- The writing is a LOT less clever than in the first one

The story, especially the ending was a mess and quite unsatisfying.
It's just a meme-fest all around trying a little too hard to be funny. And this comes from someone who enjoyed the writing in the first one, which was, objectively, pretty cheesy aswell but served it's purpose of a lighthearted goofy feel.

I don't mind it being nonsensical and all over the place, what i do mind is that there are just way too many lose story ends left open that leave you extremely unsatisfied and blue balled with the lengthy build up on them.

- No 'choose your own adventure' as advertised

Even the first one had more choices you could make on how to progress, PC2 is a very streamlined experience. At the most you can choose in what order you do things, but that's about it. This is fine, advertising that it's something else though, is not.

If you enjoyed the first one, you'll have your fun with this one, but it's a downgrade in every shape and form, except for the fighting itself. Only recommended for people who couldn't get enough of PC1.

I expected trash, but the game, or demo for that matter, had no business being as good as it is. Can't wait for the full release.

There are multiple issues with this game that i ran into in the short time that i've tried it.

- The motion controls are janky, fine, kinda expected from a game like this

- You can't control anything on the pc screen once you connected your phone

- The app does not disable screen timeout because it does not recognize activity

- When they're introducing the exercises you have to have your phone in your pocket, but you also have to use said phone to press start, because again, you can't control anything with your pc, which makes starting every single exercise awkward.

- I used it for a whole 30 minutes and i managed to softlock myself twice and thus had to restart it on my phone AND pc, because you can't reopen the QR-code without restarting once connected.

- You barely have any exercises to choose from if you're not buying them and the few you have hardly work. I'd be fine with this if i diddn't have to buy EVERY SINGLE EXERCISE FOR 1.99$. There's no pack to buy the entire game for like 9.99$, you have to buy all of them seperately. And it gets worse...

- You can't customize anything. 2 minutes of squats is 2 minutes of squats. You can't squat for 5 minutes, you can't squat for a set of 30, you can't do anything. There is one base setting for every exercise and that's what you get.

The game has been released over a year ago now, with the last update being 6 months+ old, so it's safe to assume none of these issues will get fixed and the game is abandoned.
It's a neat little thing you can use to shake up one workout, but after that it's not worth the hassle and certainly not worth to pay for.

Sadly this game is way too easy, even on the highest difficulty

Certainly worth the money, even in early access right now.

It's fun as a singleplayer, it's even more fun with friends.

Bland and boring fetchquest DLC

The best part about it was the first introduced character, after that everything went downhill

By far the best coop strategy RPG you can buy with money to this day

Slightly buggy, but that's completely forgivable, as the soundtrack, the world, the story, the dialogue, the options are all around amazing and incredibly immersing.

10/10 Hands down.
