Sniper Camouflage Orange Spy Warrior I Buried Two Bodies in the Garden and the Police Haven't Figured Out Yet That They're Missing Because They Were a Lonely Old Couple Who Had No Relatives Simulator 2026

you know how cruelty squad is an example of a good game pretending to be bad? this is a bad game that's pretending to be a good game that's pretending to be bad. how do you not even make walking work in your game? walking around regular ground feels like walking up those steep hills in skyrim that look walkable but arent. that's a metaphor for the entire game, don't get it.

first time something like this has been done ever. theyre calling it a, "video games"... remarkable things are happening.

This game tries really hard to be Cruelty Squad but doesn't understand anything about what makes that game a gem

the music is genuine ear cancer, things fall through the floor softlocking you, theres no sense of story so far, janky physics, i can see the cruelty squad inspiration however it is a complete misunderstanding of what made cruelty squad good. i am glad i got this for free

i want so badly for this game to be good. i logged about 3 hours in the playtest and that was just a single map with relatively simple gameplay. moment i got home when i saw this game released, i bought it and played it. thoughts? movement is immediately worse than the playtest. walking on flat ground has a random chance to deafen you with a million collision sounds, maps make no damn sense and take so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ long to navigate that maybe they are actually intuitive and im just crazy unfortunately, your faster travel option (your car) feels WORSE than walking. the engine noise is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ loud and doesnt stop even after you exit it. it also gets stuck on hills alot with no way of getting it off, and has horrible handling. im going to keep trying this game over and over again, because i really **REALLY** want to have as much fun as i did with the playtest. im definitely not uninstalling the playtest though, thats for sure.

no rating because i refunded it after half an hour but when i say i desperately wanted to like this game i mean it. there's germs of ideas here, a lot of threads that if pulled together could lead to something really interesting but in the state that it is currently in and with the thematic glimpses the player gets at the moment it's challenging for me to say this is going to go anywhere other than simply being edgelord kusoge. i'll start with what i like and then kind of follow the downward spiral into what ultimately made me refund the game. first of all the game is incredibly brash which intrigued me from the jump, i think the obvious point of comparison here is cruelty squad (though the dev is trying to actively obfuscate this comparison) with it's intentionally garish aesthetic design and it's somewhat gleeful nihilism, though the game doesn't really play anything like cruelty squad. it's instead actually much more reminiscent of the arcade version of silent scope, with much of the actual active violence coming from fixed positions and the rendered zoom of the scope appearing even when not actively looking down the sights. i also do like the almost fetishistic attention to detail that comes with actually firing the rifle (almost reaching the heights of something like beyond citadel but more focused around a singular idea) with the player having to very specifically load and ♥♥♥♥ the rifle before firing using the mouse controls and even having to use the mouse movement to squeeze the trigger before showing a satisfying sniper elite style view of the bullet's trajectory. it's once the player gets past this first impression (ie literally the second level of the game) that everything starts to completely fall apart. while the aesthetics are striking from afar, the second the game asks the player to do anything more than walk forward and set up a sniper post it just turns into an absolutely garbled mess. part of this is that the game seems VERY early in development, so early in development that i don't really think it should really be publicly available yet. textures bleed through other textures in a way that feels more unintentional than not, certain key items literally do not visually appear at times, and sounds will repeat over themselves in ear-splitting fashion. it makes it so that it's just really difficult to get a handle on what you're even supposed to do or where you're supposed to go with so much visual stimuli competing for your attention like it was just slapped together for a garish aesthetic rather than ever giving thought to how someone would interact with this world. there's also just the fact that the design of the game doesn't really feel motivated at all. cruelty squad uses its overwhelming visual design to make satirical comments on the real world, a cavalcade of meaningless corporate drivel crashing down on people until it's almost too much to bear (i'll never forget killing that guy in a house made of funko pops), but it's visual design is also focused. it's overwhelming at first blush but it's carefully considered, never once making the player feel like they don't know where they're going or what they're trying to accomplish. for another comparison (a comparison the dev is actually willing to make) lsd: dream emulator is an overstimulating and at times deeply messy game but because of its more relaxed pace and simple gameplay the messiness of the aesthetics never hinders the player and in fact creates a very surreal and beautiful experience. this game by contrast just feels like maximalism for the sake of maximalism, never once really using its aesthetic qualities to say anything beyond what’s merely written on the surface unless it’s just gesturing towards vaguely edgy material. i think that this is what pushed me over the edge for eventually refunding this game, was just understanding that there was nothing under the hood of this garish posturing. i’m no stranger to games trying to push the boundaries of what is acceptable, i’ve already written decently positive reviews of the first two postal games and obviously have a lot of love for cruelty squad and modern warfare 2, but whenever this game tries to really do anything “subversive” it just comes across to me like 13 year old boy humor. the second level features a big billboard begging you not to commit suicide on the shooting range accompanied by photos of 50 cent giving the finger. and after struggling to figure out what to do in that slog of a level, the third stage opens on a deeply stupid parody of slender: the 8 pages, which has a game over screen reading “you got pregnant: game over” after which i immediately refunded the game because i could tell that for all the promise i felt initially from the experience there’s nothing the developer wanted to do more than simply waste my time. it pains me to write this, after having my interest so piqued from the title and vibe to tear a small game down like this. but i think i’ve made my love for janky messes like disaster report 4 or that vietnam war game so evident that when something comes across as so juvenile while posturing as being so interesting that it’s hard for me to hide my disdain. maybe i’ll be proven wrong, maybe this game will get fixed up and make more sense or maybe in the back half of the game it starts to come together as something meaningfully coherent, but for now i just want my money back.

I was looking forward to this one, and I'm disappointed. I can look over the rather embarrassing attempt at being Cruelty Squad (for the second time by this dev, lol) due to the idea being good. However, almost every aspect of the game apart from the gun handling is horrendously executed. It's still EA, so I hope it will get better. It's obviously made by a Czech teenager and given enough time he'll probably make something good, eventually.

Yes Cruelty Squad was good, very good even (probably one of my favorite solo games, even went through the hassle of getting trauma loop stylish rank). this doesn't mean anything resembling it is. I've seen other surreal games with interesting mechanics that did not need to suck off CS to be good. This simply ain't it for multiple reasons. There are some interesting things though (sniping mechanics are kinda fun). I'll just post my refund message : I was expecting something atleast somewhat polished but this is just a mess, and I'm usually the kind of audience for this type of game but this is barely playable sadly. For any other inquiries, please refer to the other review of the guy that said : "you know how cruelty squad is an example of a good game pretending to be bad? this is a bad game that's pretending to be a good game that's pretending to be bad"

cruelty squad larp

sniping part is great, please remove the rest of the game! i cant tell if it was made from a Baby's First Unity Game Tutorial or if it was poorly designed as some sort of misguided attempt at copying cruelty squad
