Awesome top-town shooter cyberpunk game. I like the story and its whole vibe, the combat is entertaining and you can switch it in favor depending on your gameplay style, the dialogues are fun to read, the mechanics are fun, I recommend playing with a controller. Seems like the devs had fun designing the enemies, the world building details are cool and the music goes very well with it too.

Ruiner is a thoroughly entertaining, well-paced top-down shooter. ​The absolute highlight is the game's dark, gritty cyberpunk atmosphere, which is incredibly well-executed and highly immersive. While the gameplay mechanics are relatively straightforward and familiar, the tight combat and stylish art direction keep the experience engaging from start to finish.

Absolute "we were never friends" + "kill you" + "hello darkness" + "drink it" + "no file" + "nowhere to hide" [spoiler] and some "get him, puppy"[/spoiler]

It gets a bit repetitive by the end, but it's pretty fun all around. Cool music and art style.
