Better than rampage, funnier satire than GTA, does not outstay its welcome at all.
The writing is a cry for help, and i respect it. Just a scream of "Why are humans like this??? why can't we do better???" with no answers in sight. The actual prose is juvenile in a good way; reminds me of Shakedown Hawaii.
The play in the campaign is brilliant. Rampage has always suffered from repetitiveness, since there are only so many ways to make "Destroy some buildings" into a fun premise. Hemasaurus adds multiple subgoals, subversions, gimmicks, and twists throughout its short campaign so that it never gets boring.
The physics also make this incredibly satisfying. Taking a specific chunk out of a building so that it will topple onto another building is always amazing feeling. Constant dopamine rush. Almost exhaustingly so.
My only wish is that the endless mode also had goals and gimmicks. Unfortunately it is too straightforward and easy, meaning that just like Rampage i end up dying from inattention rather than anything interesting. Still, the campaign is clearly the heart of this game, so i only subtracted a half star from this otherwise goofy masterpiece.

A fun little neat game, that's all I'm gonna say.

Pretty damn good rampage callback game with fun destruction physics
A modern take on rampage but with added mechanics like kicking cars, throwing people, and toppling buildings like dominoes. They keep it fresh by shaking up the objectives on each stage, and there is even a funny yet over the top story about time travel, cults, aliens, global warming, capitalism/video game development... the appeal is really smashing buildings.
I don't think I've ever played a game with such contempt for humanity.
The gameplay is fun, basically a modern Rampage.
The plot is basically just Don't Look Up but somehow more nihilistic and preachy. There's also some meta commentary about the game industry, why not?
There's a lot of edge that leaves a bad taste from what is otherwise a satisfying arcadey destruction game.
