Going Under para mim é um jogo bem simples, mas ainda sim tem seu charme. Sinceramente não prestei muita atenção na historia pelo fato do jogo estar totalmente inglês então não vou poder opinar muito sobre esse fator, mas acredito que seja alguma crítica ou reflexão sobre a vida corporativa. Agora algo que é maravilhosa nesse jogo é a sua gameplay, o fato do cenário ser a sua arma é algo genial e fora os combates desse jogo serem bem frenéticos. As boss fights também são bem desafiadoras, não diria impossíveis mas também não tão simples. Sua estética é bem distinta, os gráficos bem cartunescos e os visuais estilizados o tornam algo bem chamativo junto da trilha sonora que se torna uma peça principal por contribuir na diversão e na emoção do game. Pode jogar sem medo, é bastante desafiador mas ainda sim muito divertido

Enjoyment - 8/10
Difficulty - 4/10

Going Under pits you against angsty co-workers, unfair working conditions and insufferable bosses. This hits too close to real life, but it works! Playing as a new marketing intern, you must progress through each company dungeon, battling enemies along the way, collecting new gear, and defeating bosses. This rougelike is a little bit uncommon, which is surprising because it is a solid game.

It also offers an assist mode that drastically reduces the difficulty of the game if you need it. Complete the main story, side objectives, unlock all the original skills, get specific kills on enemies and the platinum is yours!

Charming but sometimes jarring to play

I remember picking up this game cause the publisher was funny as fuck on Twitter, and then it came out that their social media rep was a groomer. Fun times. Anyways this game is fun.

I cranked up the accessibility features cuz I already put 20 hours in and never got close to finishing it, and I certainly haven’t gotten better in the intervening years lol.

This game is pretty good. Cute writing, fairly obvious and funny commentary on start ups and VC culture. The “corporate art” style is killer, imo. Really pops, gives everything a sense of place. The skins track is a lot of fun too.

I’m playing on the Switch and I must say that it’s fairly choppy/framey. Not unsurprising given the hardware’s age, but it still struggles to show a fight with a handful of enemies and some fire effects without stuttering.

Super fun and I really enjoyed the story and characters, even if it gets kinda nutty at the end.
