Hot garbage. Its a singleplayer game that handles like a 400 ping MMORPG. Unsmooth. janky. Placing items doesnt work (they always just fuse into the wall) Within 10 seconds of starting a new game i jumped into the pool to swim around and i just got game-over. Not even vibrant or pretty either. the lighting looks chalky and dull. The 2d vibrant background is fake. Use a different game engine if you want a pretty polished game. This might actually be cool in ue5

3 / 10 Only brought this because a friend of mine mentioned this to me (he knew a person who designed this game). This game showed promise, I like some of the visuals, and I like some of the concepts in the game (the basic premise of two characters joining together reminds me a bit of the old school game Head Over Heels), but the gameplay fell way below expectation. There was so much this game could've done if the dev spent more time thinking about the structures of the levels. For one thing, considering how slow moving your character is, a powerful mine special weapon could've compensated (or even just sprinting). The areas where you are jumping in low gravity outer space could've been very good shooter gameplay if that aspect was expanded upon... Or maybe a jet pack. Some of the areas could've been expanded too, and the whole game could've been expanded with more mixtures of the different enemies in additional levels. Perhaps the most unforgivable part of the game was in Level 10 where you fight a horde of mutant enemies who are faster than you. I struggled for about an hour and a half trying to beat this area and the way I beaten them is just go up the stairs, keep firing mach…

It looks way older than it actually is, but that gives it some retro charm. It has some absolutely awful voice acting, but it is surprisingly charming. The controls are a bit too stiff, and gameplay suffers because of it. But the music is solid, Rob is a funny robot guy that is fun to play as. The story gets better as you play, and overall it was just a surprisingly enjoyable experience.
