This game reminds me of a classic Call of Duty game's campaign with setups for cool gameplay moments that are only half scripted. As a minor spoiler at one point you are launched over a boat and the game slows down time for you to deal with it. Shooting it in slow mo with dragon's breath and watching it explode, a sublime and classic experience.

The game seems to subtly shift the camera in many high speed movement sections on it's own preventing you from thinking somewhere was the right way to go or not knowing where the next platform is *cough* Shadow Warrior 3 *cough*. I liked that camera shifting a lot.

Sure this game is short but it's fun. Which powers you use doesn't really matter, it's all flavor. Just distribute your upgrade points however, I suggest evenly. My biggest complaint is charge up powers take WAY too long to charge to the point they are unfeasible in combat, that said often uncharged they one hit elite foes so...

The DLC skins add a nice touch of wacky/sexy but ultimatley it's just cool to have gun and sword skins if nothing else $5 or $6 to an Indie Dev for some skins in the Gold Version over Standard is no biggie to me.

This game definitely shares elements of many of the popular movement shooters these days but it is much easier/more forgiving even on hard difficulty. That said it needs some help with respawns, please do not respawn me in front of a moving sword thank you. And lord help you if you don't learn to parry or learn boss patterns. You can parry a boss, and you should.

There is a forced stealth section (technically I went Michael Meyers at the end so you don't auto fail it if you get caught) and I actually was thinking right before it the game could benefit from an option to use stealth before combat encounters. The game just feels right for it. That's the biggest missed opportunity I see. OPTIONAL stealth for the whole game.

Tips: The pistol's alt fire is a greanade launcher. Use it coupiously. Most alt fires provide knockback.
