So this is one of the best AAA attempts at a Rogue-Like game.
The combat feels doom-esque with the pacing. Shoot, dodge, zipline and melee your way through enemies all whilst battling the bullet hell nature of enemy attacks.
2 problems with the game exist though.
Collectibles in a Rogue-Like game don’t make sense. Having to replay the story after the alternative ending to grind out collectibles is tedious and a poor design choice.
Secondly, occasionally the game has graphical glitches, clipping and other weird interactions between character models. Rare enough to not ruin every session, frequent enough to notice.
I’ve given the game an extra half star however for the free DLC Tower of Sisyphus. This is the true Rogue-Like experience in the game. Ascended floors of randomly generated levels and enemies for a high score. The perfect addition to the game.
I will concede you’ll either love this game or hate it. I loved it and it is a must play in my opinion.
