Gunbrella

[h1] What is this game? [/h1] Gunbrella is a linear action game about Murray - a man with an umbrella (that's also a gun), whom lost his wife and kid. It follows our protagonist as he slugs through heaps of enemies and ultimately aims to defeat the evil blood cult "Cult-45". [h2] Price/replay value [/h2] Horrible - [u] Bad [/u] - Decent - Good - Amazing [h2] Achievement hunting [/h2] Whilst only having 18 achievements, about half of them are missable. The game locks your progress once you get near the end so if you missed any you'll have to start an entirely new save. [b] On top of that there's 3 which are wholly dependent on a decision you make in the first 25% of the game. This decision only comes into play in the last 25% of the game.

Most of the "mission…

I came back after a break, went into a boss then then spent 15 minutes wandering through endless empty rooms. There is no map in the game. There is no map out of the game. I don't have time for this.

Let me start by saying the appeal of this game ISN'T the combat. It's pretty easy, even on hard mode, and the umbrella feels weird to use as a shield or parry. Where it shines is the story and platforming. The characters are all so unbelievably charming and I'm not ashamed to say I teared up at the end of the lesbian ghost hunter side questline (No, I don't care about calling it its actual name.). And I was genuinely devastated by the ending I got. I cared so much about these characters and the Crude Mines are the best example of how easily this game makes someone likeable. The platforming is just fun. I can't go into detail. It's just fun. Although the processing plant will really push your talent and endurance because man oh man, if Celeste had a kid with Hollow Knight's White Palace and the gave the kid a gun, that'd be it. AND I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LOVED IT. Game good, game short, maybe buy on sale.

I absolutely LOVE this game. It's so unbelievably good. The movement feels great. The combat is good. The story is exceptional. The sound track is stunning, one of the best ever. The sound design is amazing. The difficulty curve is expertly done. The level design is fantastic. The levels are varied, engaging, and always getting a little more difficult. There are new enemies being introduced in every area of the game, all the way to the very end of the game. I cannot recommend this game enough. I'm not even a huge fan of 2D side scrollers!

A fun and tight action platformer that doesn't overstay it's welcome.

this game is amazing the gameplay and story are top notch and the artstyle is amazing if you havent played this gem do it its well worth it
