Going Under

Aside from its witty dialogue and sharp satire of corporate culture, there's very little here that I can genuinely praise. As an action roguelike, the game falls flat. The controls feel surprisingly clunky and unresponsive, making combat more frustrating than satisfying. Things get even worse when large groups of enemies can effectively stun-lock you, meaning a single bad room generation can completely ruin an otherwise promising run. The itemization isn't particularly compelling either. Great roguelikes usually make you feel weak at the start and gradually transform you into an unstoppable force by the end of a run. This game never delivers that power fantasy. Most runs feel roughly the same from beginning to end, with very little sense of progression or excitement. The character progression system is another major disappointment. Unlocks and upgrades rarely feel meaningful, and instead of being motivated to experiment with new builds, I spent most of my playtime simply trying to get the game over with. After finishing it, I noticed that only 8.6% of players have the achievement for completing the game. Honestly, that statistic didn't surprise me at all. If you're looking for…

Enjoyed it, what I imagine being a no paid intern for a tech company on the west coast feels

Very underrated roguelike. Very charming aesthetic and playful dialogue (even if you just want to skip a decent portion of them). Worth it on a sale.

Great premise and a very well executed sattire. I love the visual style and the design of UI - it follows the theme of a souless corporate slop so faithfully it makes me chuckle. The vfx are smooth, and the rouge-lite aspect really doesn't make you feel bad if you fail. There are some UX things that require improvement, mainly the information that you get with new skills, and what actually progresses the main story and what doesn't. But they did not impact my experience as much. Overall, a great game to try out! ^^

Quite fun. Just wish there were descriptions of items/perks/apps you've obtained after obtaining them.
