Installs a super weird russian anti-cheat that does not uninstall with the rest of the game and ♥♥♥♥♥ up some windows systems
also doesn't have Australian servers and is unplayable for me

I paid $10 for the deluxe edition of this game, it was fun and worth the $10 but i weep for anyone who spent 30+ on the deluxe

fantastic game but feels super unfinished, for example; me and my mates managed to get a perfect run on port hokan (a very difficult map) and we couldn't get our S rank because only the host could see the guns that needed to be secured, and they were dead.

another example is when a random suspect killed themselves, like i rounded the corner as they were putting the gun against their temple and died, i was penalized for this and didn't get an s rank

there's a lot of issues like this where the game just doesn't work the way it should, and you're penalised for it.

All the RPG mechanics are either half-baked or straight up bad, a lot of abilities don't work or are incredibly weak, gear is super limited in variety (most weapon classes have 2 different guns and everything else is a copy with an elemental effect) and the armour system is very complicated despite most armour having insignificant bonuses to stats, The overall gameplay is just wandering through streets constantly getting mugged by the same 3 dudes with baseball bats and the occasional giant robot that really shouldn't be in a night market.

also the story has no decisions to be made whatsoever, you play as a mute who does whatever your current handler tells you to do while they call every few minutes to insult you.

graphics are nice though

bought this after having a blast with cruelty squad and I expected a similar experience

this game has a similar (but less existential) vibe of black humour and horror, the gameplay has a big focus on stealth and survival though and generally running away works better than blasting everything in the room

very fun, although be warned the game carries some pretty bizarre imagery and rewards the player for self-harming

I completed one of the bosses, I was then booted back to the main menu where the game pretended I died, the next time i booted it up all the story progress i'd made had been wiped

Basically you can't finish the game very frustrating

Really cool cyberpunk game that doesn't try to depict a super capitalist future as 'cool' and instead shows a horrible nightmare of intense body modification, hedonism and violence.


also features the hit game character gorbino from gorbino's quest

I want to try the game but there are no SEA/Oceana/Asia servers, no way to host your own either

Every time i try to play and get a good run going i inevitably hit a game-ruining bug, my first game i was randomly launched through the map and died, and the second time enemies were stuck inside the floor, making it impossible to pass through alarm doors without eating damage (thankfully the second run i had a recharging shield that tanks the damage)

It would be an alright roguelike if the RNG that screws you over wasn't the game code

basically half life+ with better graphics and mostly sticks to the original formula

naturally it's pretty fun
