A weird, gorgeous and rewarding action game. The combat is tough but intuitive and a joy to play around with. The world itself is stuffed full of secrets and, while admittedly made easier with upgrades, many are doable with the right amounts of skill and patience.
The atmosphere is probably what will stick, though. Everything is sketched out in melancholy neon and the NPCs all communicate in little visual stories that fill out the details of the world. The music is phenomenal and does much of the heavy lifting at creating 'moments' at various points, where the camera will pan and show you a distant vista while the synths swell.
