Pretty fun game! The kind of game where you struggle to rachieve flow state, but shred through it with minimal errors when you do, is a favorite of mine. Katana ZERO, Hotline Miami, and now this sit on that list. Hitting tricks to get ammo, with repeated tricks becoming stale, keeps the game flowing as I checked my mental checklist to see what combinations I haven't tried yet. You can't fumble tricks and eat shit, so the focus is entirely on stunting and shooting. The various enemy types, too, encourage constantly swapping weapons. Flow is everything here.

The plot lying beneath the gameplay centers around the media being focused on entertainment admist growing political instability and private companies delving into militarization. I've yet to beat the Out For Blood mode, the NG+ for this game, to know if there's more information, but the underlying story is intentionally left empty. Shut up and skate.

Also the game looks good and it's pretty hard! Short, too. Thank God for that.
