There is a lot to be said about the game, but its just really fun. Its pure intense undiluted action that makes you feel like you are in a dystopian space trooper movie.

For Freedom! For Democracy! For Super Earth!

This game for me falls into the experience with little substance category.
Despite the plot and style i'm actually a big fan of messy games like this and would have enjoyed immensely it if not for the deadbeat combat.
There are plenty of in depth reviews but for me it was 0 variety that killed it.
There are 3 combos for the entire game just 3, no other weapons no hidden mechanics nothing. Same goes for your enemies. What you fight and how you fight in your first mission is almost exactly how and what you will fight in your last.

Its a good game that made me nostalgic of story driven action games from 2014-2015, things like old GOW, Prince of Persia and other melee action focused franchises (yes this game despite all of the guns is mostly focused on melee combat).
The game is well optimized, nice voice acting everything is narrated. Story is OK, while tropes are cliche, i enjoyed a different take on the vampires and their background.
Levels are well designed, locations are diverse, there is notable enemy variety.
One issue is with collecting gold, where you would do a 20-30 secs detour to collect like 50 gold, when upgrades cost 5k plus.
Game play and combat is smooth, switching between shooting, punching zapping, exploding flows really well.
My issue, however, was that a lot of combat mechanics are hidden behind story progression, and that made combat really enjoyable only about a half way through.

I do recommend this game with something like a 6.5-7 overall rating.

The game has a heavy emphasis on story as the main driver to engage in exploration, dialogues etc. You need to interact with npc/documents etc to understand what to do and where to go. The problem is that both pacing and writing are so cut up that you just don't care and it becomes a real chore. It may get better a few hours in or it may not,the issue, however is that the game does very little to encourage you to find out.

The combat is fine (not great, just fine), but it cant carry this game because it feels like they really missed it with other systems.

Bough it for like $4, its an extremely buggy mess. With supremely questionable design decisions. I cant recommend this even for 4$. There is some variety between characters, but ultimately its just not fun. Play some of the other better card battlers.

NG 2 was my favorite game back on Xbox 360, and having a chance to return to this game, and play all of them made me very happy. Beating all 3 on hardest gave me real sense of achievement, joy and closure.

NG3 is the reason there are no more NG games. Razors Edge (remake) managed to bring back the iconic combat to the game and made it fun again, but all of the other aspects, like Story, Atmosphere, Characters, Levels etc are mostly just bad.
I still had a lot of fun with the combat and if you are like me you will enjoy it.
If not Play NG and NG2 those two are amazing.

An outstanding game. If you enjoy building bases, managing resources and slaughtering hordes of bloodthirsty aliens while piloting a giant mech with a wide variety of tools that you build, then you will love it.

Accounting for novelty its a solid 8/10 game

All round the game is very good. And I do recommend.

The good:
Best thing about the game is its combat. If you like juggling enemies through combos and using flashy moves you will have a great time. 6 characters, each with his own unique distinct combat style + just enough enemy variety to keep you busy so it doesn't get old till the very end (and that is 120-140h of playtime).
Game never crushed, stuttered or dropped frames for me, one of the best optimized games, I have playing recently.

The ok:
Story is ok, there are enough twists to keep you mildly interested.
Last parts of the game are clearly a little rushed. Although it kept up where it mattered to me (which was combat).

The bad:
Most of the characters, their development and motivations are just awkward, so don't bother investing into that.
There are some difficulty balance issues. For example playing on hard or nightmare forces you to turn one of the charters (the gunner) into a healbot. And that unfortunately makes it impossible to play said character.

When a game starts off its own genre, you know its cool
