Man this game is so weird and I love how weird it is. The world of Zeno Clash is bizzare af and feels like a fever dream after taking acid and shrooms. And it embraces how weird it is, probably one of my favourite things about this game. Zeno clash is basically a first person brawler (and a bit of a shooter) where you fight the ugliest abominations my PC has ever seen (in a good way). The combat is something very similar to Cyberpunk's brawling system, in fact it seems like Cyberpunk ripped off the brawling from this game. Every punch and hit is so satisfying and there are ragdoll physics that make the heavy punches feel so good. There are some shooting segments here too but you can tell it wasn't the focus of the game, as the shooting is not as refined as the brawling. The story is weird as fuck and didn't make any sense to me until I got to the end. Biggest complaint is that the game is really short and also some of the level design is uninspired. There are some bad levels here between the good ones, but there are more good than bad. I recommend this though if you like the brawling in Cyberpunk and want something more refined. Definitely get this if the weird ass setting intrigues you.
