VOID/BREAKER

I don't know if it's bugged or what, but I found a few items that said it would empower a mod if it was to the right/left of it or whatever, but when I did that, the stats didn't change at all. Well, if the stats didn't change, WHY INCLUDE THE MOTHER F'ING ITEM? This confused and annoyed me to the point that I just instantly alt+f4'd and now I will refund. Do better. Also, in the first mission, I had to open 2 doors by using 2 computers. The 2nd computer I almost missed because the T button told me to go somewhere else completely. That alone almost made me ragequit as well because I had to run around aimlessly, so to top it off with useless items that don't even work... what can I tell you?

This game is absolute cinema from couple of standpoints: 1. The gameplay, the sweetest part. Its AMAZING. This is what i expected Control 2 to be: the superpowers that can be applied in smart ways, feeling superior to the enemies, freedom in movement with lots of friction and basically flying around. And then the posibilities for the builds, the variety is huge, even if making the same-sort-of builds: an explosive build can be made around different projectile mods (the ones that change the bullets you shoot) and abilities, eventually doing the same thing but in many different ways. And the corrupted mods, the ones with effects that can be good or bad depending on your needs: the design is FUN and unique (honorable mention for the mod that is dependent on the motion blur setting intensity XD) 2. The graphics are beautiful and optimisation is great (didnt expect that from UE 5, i apologize). Destructability of buildings and objects doesnt really impact it (it does a little but only in late game where a single button press explodes the whole island type of events) 3. Sounds: music sets the vibe in PERFECTLY and ramps the tension during the fights. Additional pleasure is that the sound effects of cues like enemy stun or ability reload are very distinct and "satisfying", perfect for such an action intense game 4. Now story - that is real cinema. Im mostly a slop consumer so my opinion can be biased but some turns of events were unexpected for me, jaw-dropping even. Its simple as a whole but i really like that there is world building (the story in going on the rails of progressing bosses and levels, you are not forced to read walls of text and there is no dialogue (only monologues). Short messages and environmental storytelling are the thing instead) and not just the bare game with no reason or grand goal (in the sense of the game universe, that winning has clear impact for its world and other characters and its not just the fact of beating the game as a player like in some other roguelites (the game tho is not yet finished, no ending as of now)) It has just a few flaws: Ocassional bugs in gameplay or graphics, difficulty balancing (sometimes builds scale effortlesly and game is too easy, sometimes random is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and game is too hard), variety for some of the playstyles and mainly the weapons being maybe too similar, as of now replayability can not be enough for some. Obviously that its not finished yet. And like it was mentioned above, the game is very fast and intense, so motion sick people or those who do long sessions might get a headache. There are accessibility settings so it can be tolerable, but if thats really an important factor, it might not be for you ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In short, i HIGHLY RECCOMEND despite that its an early access UE 5 game, because this game is just GOOD. I already spent a lot of time playing demo when there was just 1 zone (total ingame is 32 hours), and now there is already more variety and it will keep getting better. The dev is is making it solo and needs support for such creativity, passion and just for an amazing game to be finished
