The game's shorter and not as good as other DONTNOD games, but definitely still worthwhile.

Certain chunks of gameplay felt a little too slow and drawn out, and there's little challenge in the puzzles.
Some of its messages are delivered in a pretty heavy-handed way, but none of it felt unrealistic (imo). Just clunky at times. Perhaps it could've used another pass to smooth things out and add a bit more depth. I feel the game's length and pacing are at fault here. But..

It's got a great story with characters that are believable, very good writing and the beautiful setting of Alaska is a treat.

Do try this out if you're looking for a heart touching interactive story.

Bland as heck.

Despite having expanded control over your monster truck and an alright variety of modes, it's quite phoned in and the physics are very wonky. This makes everything you do in the game more of a struggle and kills a lot of the fun.

Normally a fan of Teyon, but this ain't it. Maybe on a deep, deep discount if you're curious.

A smooth narrative heavy hack 'n' slash focusing on repeated exploration through (alternative) story choices to progress. Filling out more unlocks more.

Concept works really well and the story is quite good. VA is solid.

Gameplay did get a little tired at the end of my playthrough with the level variety being a bit sparse and not super exciting, but still recommended!

What the "kak" did I just play?

Weird 1st person beat 'em up / shooter hybrid using Source engine with an even weirder world.
Story is rough, VA is rough, gameplay is rough. Nothing really synergizes. Everything about it could be described as clunky or awkward.

But the world and character designs are so odd and memorable that I had to see through until the end.
Recommended uncanny valley gaming.

Cute little homage to the history of (J)RPGs, with the gimmick of playing to move forward in time and 'upgrade' the game for more mechanics. Simple and effective.

Receiving this game for free means this review will be a little lenient towards it.

I found this to be a charming little platformer to stroll through. Particularly enjoyed the relaxing OST.
The story was cute, akin to a children's book. Decent VA delivering it. Overall good vibes.

The gameplay and level design itself does feel like a student's project or perhaps from a game jam, being very barren and bland. Very little engagement, just run around and collect crystals while occassionally solving a "puzzle".

A bug preventing further enjoyment was that my controller was detected but non-functioning no matter what I tried. KB/M ended up playing just fine anyway.

If you got / get it for free, try it out. Maybe on a steep discount.

When the action works, it's still great. You can feel the spirit of OG Xbox era Team Ninja trying to shine through, especially on Hard / JP Hard. "Mastering" the game feels pretty satisfying, as far as the jank allows you to. It looks like this got a combat overhaul patch at some point, so maybe it was way worse. Still some bugs, sadly.

It could've gone without the "modern" additions of a skill tree, and the cover shooter gunplay really doesn't work during the vast majority of the game. Less could've been more here.

The level design is nowhere near something like NG but fully functional. I quite liked the atmosphere of most maps.
Enemies were pretty bland for the most part, but the selection creates enough variety to stay engaging.
Some serious S-grade jank going on during parts of the combat, not everything clicks as well as it should. You can get destroyed for something out of your control, which is not good.

But the worst is the baffling VA cast and writing quality for a "regular" release, nearly torturous to witness. Stiff delivery, nonsensical lines, zero flow of anything story wise. I'm normally all for B-movie cheesiness but this was truly something.
Dare I use the word cringe, what were they thinking? They get an extra point for having a Divinyls cover play during a cutscene, though.

All other minor gameplay additions feel very tacked on and out of place, namely the minigames. But they also add to the wackiness of it all.

Not going to give this a thumbs down, it felt too special. But man does it feel like this could've been way better.

Does exactly what it says on the tin, gunslinger combo meter action.
Iggymob delivering an experience that feels like it's straight out of the PS2 / OG Xbox era.
If you're into that kind of gaming, this game is a ton of fun despite its shortcomings.

Competent level design that emphasizes tempo and strategy to achieve S ranks on harder difficulties.
Story? Yeah it's got one, but don't think about it too hard!
Surprisingly strong soundtrack.
Gameplay feels solid, although the melee doesn't quite work.

My main complaint is that even the unlockable 'GORE' difficulty is just not difficult enough, which might explain the negative reception. They could've tuned this to be a bit more challenging. Don't play this below Hard, which still starts out way too easy.

An underappreciated title that's a bit flawed. Grab it on discount and have a blast!

A little late but my GOTY for 2025. Hands down one of the most impactful pieces of interactive media ever made.
Play with headphones on.

Now, if you're playing Battlefield 6 on a computer, you will never in a trillion years experience the Battlefield. You'll think you have experienced Battlefield, but you'll be cheated. It's such a sadness, that you think you've seen a Battlefield game on your f**king computer. Get real.

Purchased to play with friends, but to experience these absolutely ghoulish game dev practices so soon after launch yet again reminds me that AAA has been dead for a long, long time.

Vile.
