Damn, sometimes it's good to be wrong. I remember rolling my eyes and groaning when this game was first announced: procedural generation, rogue-lite, female protagonist in a sci-fi setting, been there, done that. Then I played it and almost immediately became a fan. The graphics are gorgeous, the gameplay loop is solid and addicting, the weapons are punchy and satisfying, the atmosphere is thick and foreboding, the controls are spot on even with a controller? HOW??? I don't know what black magic they're cooking with in Finland (maybe they just had Sargeist blaring in the studio) but they should keep doing it.

EDIT:
Knocked off a half star because Act 3 is weaksauce.
