troll till i die

Let me start this review with this: This game has a LOT of potential. Why? because it already has cool mechanics and decent gunplay. where does it go wrong? Well a lot of things are lackluster in my opinion.
And this is sometimes what you come to expect from a single developer. It seems to me that he rushed to release the game due to it getting a lot of views on TikTok (3.2M on one and 1.2M on another). I think he realized the faster he could launch it the more money he could get from the people that are still excited about the game. And yes. I do agree with what most reviews say; this game is not worth $20 with the amount of content out right now.

Now to focus on the actual game. As I said earlier in the review, this game has a lot of potential.
This game needs a lot more polish for it to be considered to be "complete" in my opinion. Other reviewers state that the game feels like a demo, which I partially agree with. Some bugs were expected in a game like this. But I hard crashed every time I entered the third stage building. things like that make this game hard to call "complete"

Some features I would need to call this game complete:
more content, ahead of the Lenhe fight (you acquire the minigun but then only get to use it on like 8 enemies)
more greenery in each level. All of them are extremely boring and there's not much to look at when you're travelling from each encampment
the 3rd level just seems like filler and needs more enemies and better level design. I really like the horror element, it just isn't that well executed. The bossfight itself also isn't that interesting. the basic strat is just to spam kill♥♥♥♥ and spam the grenade launcher/shotgun.
more (or less) humor. The only jokes made are about you having sex with the NPCs. which gets old after the 2nd one. Either add (tasteful) humor or take out all of it.

Now some nice to haves, this isn't needed but would bring me back to the game.
better guns (or just improve upon the existing ones) some ideas I had were:
flesh out the finger gun e.g, dual wielding finger guns
rocket jumping with the grenade launcher (or explosive finger gun)
apply the effects you get from elemental organs to the tickler (and maybe some rebalancing of the tickler)
more bio weapons that utilize the different elemental organs (I find the elemental organs mostly useless and confusing)
make it so you can store guns in organ slots
more organ slots (maybe you can take Lenhe's torso and have more)
better implementation of a slide mechanic (one similar to the one in ultrakill)
organs that change your movement more than just speed. E.g. double jump, dash.

Enemies:
make them more visible against their background. I found it hard to see, and track with my gun from far away
it would be interesting to have some enemies have a chance to drop different elemental organs

Bosses:
more fleshed out and difficult in general. E.g, different attacks; terraworm coming up from the ground right below you, or Lenhe having more than one gun.

QOL:
an objective hud element, for main quest and sidequests. I find the journal being a little confusing
an indicator of where you need to go on your compass
a map that only shows areas you've explored
less smoke particles for terraworm fight and explosive finger gun
more fleshed out intro scene. match the font of the intro card and controls text in the top right
some more lore about Lenhe, after you kill her. (I am not much of a lore guy but the lore in this game is forgettable/bad)


TL:DR this game has a lot of potential that could be reached if the developer fleshed out some of the mechanics or gunplay. Overall I enjoyed this game but it is hard to recommend to anyone in its current state/price.

One of the best co-op shooters of all time, there is a reason why this is such highly reviewed. I highly recommend to anyone who likes fps games or co-op games.

One of, if not the best single player FPS games of all time. It is currently #1 best reviewed game on steam and I think it fully deserves it. Overwhelming recommendation to anyone who likes FPS games

after 2000 hours, its ok

better then minecraft in a lot of ways. good game
