My first hour or so playing, I thought it was a waste of money. It just seemed too weird. But since then, I can confidently say it was worth every penny, and I've actually enjoyed the game quite a bit. The ability to go through technology in various historical periods, the strategies you can develop, the choice of your different defenses and boulders, tons of game modes, and a relatively undeveloped game mechanic (Stepping outside of tropes like shooters and platformers) make it a very unique and enjoyable experience. Plus, community levels and online gameplay, and split-screen?

Amazing art-style, grim theme and actually strategic gameplay, recognizable sound effects and music, nice tension, and cool details such as the gun shaking when you hold it. Lack of story actually contributes to this mystery and makes it much better. I would criticize for a lack of multiplayer, but I also do appreciate how the game's intensity and gameplay isn't spoiled because of it. My main criticism is that after the first round, there's really no point in shooting yourself (Better to just use powers), and that takes some intensity out of it. Nearly 4.5 stars but it's too small of a game.
