Finished the first ending of this game and decided while i'm definitely sticking with it to probably full completion levels, I think I am ready to rate and review it personally. At first I wasn't getting it at all, mostly because I didn't bother to look at the controls, but eventually I died enough times to be afforded the luxury of eating corpses and managed to use a slightly less shit gun and I was pretty much sucked in from then on. There were still moments that were somewhat annoying in difficulty (i'm thinking of the bog level) but much of the difficulty felt rewarding to overcome, like getting round the giant mech monsters in Mall Madness or finally beating the boss in Archon Grid. I love games that make me actively want to go back into places and explore them again, and this game seems all about that as you are able to go back to any level with any different equipment, there's all sorts of hidden items to be found and hidden levels too. It almost feels like the perfect cocktail of elements that get me addicted to a game, and i'm really nowhere near finished with it but I definitely already love it.
I have now beaten pretty much all of the things, including the purchasable level's three evil tendrils, the headquarters' secret level hp sponge boss and also running across a dark plain away from hundreds of golems towards a giant orb in the sky. That's what kind of game this is honestly. It's definitely fair to say that pretty much everything about the game has stuck to me, from the incredible aesthetics to every feature that you wouldn't find in other shooters of the style right down to just kicking a damn door open which should be in every single shooter game because it is a god-tier addition. I don't know if i've got to the point of completion yet as there are a few implants and weapons I haven't got a hold of yet but all in all this game has stuck with me strongly, basically embedded itself in my head which is essentially exactly what I think the game hopes for, and it is one that will probably influence everything I ever do. So yeah i'm probably gonna kill some people 10/10
