EDIT: Placing this in front since people comment before they read my post, and critisize me for not playing enough of the game:

"Also, for note, my time on Steam does NOT correctly reflect how long I played it as marked with me receiving the game for free.".

I refunded after playing the game for free- I have to admit I went into it pretty excited. I am a huge fan of games with movement mechanics, I grew up on Tribes and have routinely followed the scene of vertical shooters. I got to V2, beat V2, and decided it was time to stop playing. I did not find the game particularly difficult, but I found the mechanics quite boring.

The movement felt somewhat clunky to me, and I didn't find the various enemies and rooms very fun to play against. They look like generic old video game enemies. I am sure that is part of the charm for others, and I will not hate on people for enjoying this game, clearly many do love this game a lot. I find the amount of content in this early access title a bit limited too, I ended up looking up the remainder of the content and for a game that has been out for over 2 years, approaching 3, I am very sad to see more game developers take this route of: release game in "early access" > slowly add dripped content > abandon game eventually > loop.

I understand that "THIS DEV IS DIFFERENT THOUGH!!" will likely be thrown back, but it doesn't excuse this tired process developers consistently put out. Time will tell if Hakita finishes the game, and if so, I would be happy to try it again.

>inb4 cringe Reddit and or FUNKe fans attack me for disliking their collective echo chamber game of the year.

BUT THE SECRETS DUDE!!! THAT'S SO MUCH CONTENT!!!!!

Sorry, secrets to go back and find in a game are an addition, certainly, but not a way to excuse a lack of content. Also, for note, my time on Steam does NOT correctly reflect how long I played it as marked with me receiving the game for free.

An easy to read TLDR: This game feels unfinished and the idea of mixing Devil May Cry and Quake into a Retro shooter is really cool on paper, but so far has felt boring to me and could not hold my attention.
