Helskate

The premise is cool, the soundtrack bangs, and it's barely held together at all. On top of lacking polish nearly everywhere you look, the game is very buggy with clipping through geometry and frame rate drops later on in runs. The skating itself is pretty basic and doesn't really feel good in your first few runs at least. The enemies are not fun to fight and it's rarely about getting a big trick combo going while fighting. The UI in the menus breaks pretty often, combined with a few other common bugs it's clear the game is just not finished, but there's something here that is almost really cool.

this game was made by an AI corporation btw. Like Phantom Coast is a subsidiary of an AI corpo. ♥♥♥♥ this game and ♥♥♥♥ these guys. Wasn't even fun.

Cool and unique idea that quickly became unfinished abandonware.

it's a nice concept. I liked what I played but it's unfinished. I can't recommend a game this unfinished with no clear support from the devs. I'd love to see someone take this idea and really flesh it out.

Neat idea where the company pulled the plug halfway through, leaving an empty and unfinished game. Was really looking forward to this game, but left extremely disappointed. Don't feed the corporate greed machine for unfinished products. Don't buy this one.

I cannot recommend this game. In theory I should, every genre this game tries to blend together seems great on paper, but in execution nothing blends well together, nothing feels right, nothing clicks. The momentum doesn't ever feel good, the combat gets stale very quickly. I played the game in early access hoping these problems would get ironed out but nothing really changed. The art style grabbed me at first but that wasn't enough to get me to keep playing.
