It's impressive that by the end of this adventure the actual gunbrella weapon feels as iconic and memorable as it does. With its unique movement mechanics I had a blast making my way through this steampunk x occult setting.

Visually I would honestly call the game a looker. it's a lot of muted colors but the art team was able to provide a real unique style to a game that at a glance looks rather familiar. I was really impressed every time I entered a new area.

The narrative unfortunately while super compelling at times, is a little mixed overall. I really liked the amount of character work and lore that went into the setting, but parts of its supernatural plotline kind of fall flat. Its main villain also kind of drops the ball in the end with a final boss that felt like kind of a let down.

Even with its woes I really do think Devolver Digital showcased another winner here. I hope Studio Doinksoft bring us back to this world in a sequel. I only see room for improvement if there is one.
