Now that it's finished, Hrot is a lovely boomer shooter that really understands what makes the genre good. The guns all have a good feel and the enemies are super creative. There's that good spiral level design that people praise fromsoft for, where secrets and new passages are revealed as you revisit areas with different keys and guns. It's also weird as hell, which may be enough all on its own. There's a gorilla statue that comes to life as a boss and it's far from the strangest in the game.
