✦ AI summary

Chromatic Aberration is a fast-paced, low-fi retro FPS with stylish 3D pixel-art aesthetics and an entertaining 80s B-movie vibe that players appreciate for its chaotic action and solid controls. However, the game struggles with significantly ramped-up difficulty compared to its predecessor Bitsturbed, with frustrating spikes that have caused some players to hit progression walls, alongside technical issues like ammo pickup bugs. Most players who engaged with it found it worthwhile as a short game, though the difficulty balance and departure from the original's feel are notable concerns.

The game is definitely a step-up from Bitsturbed, but there is one huge problem with the game that I hate: difficulty. In Bitsturbed, if you were playing on Normal, the game gave you a good amount of challenge without frustrating the player. Sadly, this is not the same with Chromatic Aberration. I got stuck at I suspect the second boss fight on Normal, and considering I played through Bitsturbed many times now, and have a good amount of knowledge about the engine, this has to mean something. This new bullet-hell shooter aspect, in my opinion, flipped the difficulty level on its head to the point the game becomes frustrating. Also, it has bugs I just can't avoid, for instance, if you have full ammo on one gun and you pick up ammo, it doesn't add up, but the pickup still disappears. Enemies sometimes go trough walls and even bullets too. I'm not saying this game is bad, but It's not as polished and balanced as Bitsturbed was, which is still an insane experience. I recommend this to players who want to see what the "continuation" of Bitsturbed is, despite its problems.

Solid low-fi old-school FPS. Plenty of chaotic action, a story that gives off strong 80s B-movie vibes, and a really great grimy-yet-colorful 3D pixel-art aesthetic.

EDIT: I don't want to change my review to negative, as I did genuinely enjoy the game. Up to a point it was progressing nicely. I did get stuck at one point and was unable to progress. I think it may have been the final boss, perhaps but I am not sure. Basically, at a certain level, there were just too many enemies to fight, and I ran out of ammunition. So, not a great ending, but fun while it lasted... ORIGINAL REVIEW: For the price this is a fun little game! If you enjoy corridor type shooter games, then this one will suit you. There is even a little story about resistance to some kind of cyber A.I. mastermind. I'm enjoying this thoroughly.

Bought it on Steam Sale, but would recommend at full price. Good audio; Stage Music and Shooting Sound Effects Controls well including option to play as a Hybrid Controller/Mouse Mutant which made it extra easier to aim Short game but still got more than my money's worth. Funny writing but might not be everyone's cup of tea
