I am not really sure how to put this into words, what I experienced in this game makes no sense. And to be perfectly clear, I actually like this game, or at least, I am trying to like it, I think it gets significantly better after the first 3 areas, but just the polish issues all over the place, even the good moments can't be enjoyed for what they are. I should also note that I only paid a few $ for it when EA came out, the asking price for it is kinda silly in this condition. For the first 60 minutes, it feels like the worst metroidvania I ever played, I mean it's like it has ZERO redeeming qualities, so at that point I am playing it sarcastically, I already accepted that this game will be an absolute disaster and I will play it, no matter where it takes me. But wait. Then the game got like 5 times better, and I am thinking to myself, okay so, somewhere 1/4th through the development of this game, you suddenly learned how to make a game, and the art got much better as well, but.......you didn't think that first chunk of the game would need a little work too, you realize it's so bad, no reasonable person would play it for 5 minutes, let alone 30 minutes, when somewhere 60+minutes …

There's nothing that tells you where to go the building you're supposed to go into I'm assuming has a glass door that blends in pretty well with the other glass on the building. There's so many vacant buildings on the way they're it makes you assume that all the buildings are vacant to be honest with no dialogue or direction from the game. These shooting robots legit made me rage quit they legitimately have almost no spacing in between they're shots you're swing time causes you to get hit unless you have the timing of the gods. You can't crouch swing you can't interrupt her animation to crouch the bullets make her flinch you have NO I frames. The game tells me I have a shield generator to equip, but doesn't tel…

I played for a few hours, and in this game, I experienced the fun that Metroidvania games bring me, interesting map design, challenging enemies, and some collection elements. I like the sci-fi theme and the post-apocalyptic setting.A good experience so far.
