My game of the year without a doubt, ATLUS never fails to deliver peak games.

All in all Black Future '88 is a pretty good roguelike. The movement and general gameplay feel fluid, and the other systems (stims, perks, curses) feel balanced. There is on the other hand a fair bit of screen shaking and flashes which might be troubling for some players. The biggest problem I had with the game though is the achievements. Most of them are fine, but things like "Dash 10000 times" and die "Die 150 times" really annoy me since you are most certainly going to have to spend a few hours repeating the same inputs to get them as they wont happen naturally over the course of gaining the other achievements. Other than that some of the extra rooms which you need to visit for achievements feel like a really low rate of appearance, especially when they only spawn on 1/2 specific floor(s). Then again, if 100%ing is not what you care about, then this game is great, and despite not having an update in many years I would say it still holds its own in the ever expanding list of great rougelikes out there.

-10/10 would buy again

I will admit, I didn't get this through pre-order (mainly cause Plaion messed up but whatever) so while I am thankful that I can get this, what the hell were Starbreeze thinking not keeping this a pre-order exclusive. I hope to god that this wasn't their decision and was forced on them by deep silver because otherwise they need to get their priorities straight. I love this game so much but the amount of problems with it right now really make it difficult to support everything they do.

Despite all the problems the game had at launch, it is actually good, and with content updates coming soon its definitely worth picking up but until there is enough free content (as they plan to follow payday 2's dlc model for lots of content) wait until a sale.

Only get this if you want the payday content, otherwise play the first one.
