          by your answer it seems you hate walking sims, but why would you buy a walking sim and get upset that this stylish walking sim isn't another genre and its genre is wasted on such style which conclude you are upset for no valid reason, you couldve criticized its short length or performance but you chose the moronic Ganker verdicts i played x but x is not y so x is waste because its not y

        As I said, it has a very simple gameplay, nothing fancy, just another top down shooter really (though very smooth at that). However, as with all the other games mentioned; all of it's secondary aspects elevate the game by alot. Also you can play the Ascent as a co-op

        if you can get it on discount, go for it immediately. it's no exaggeration to call it the best-looking UE4 game, and a very solid alien cyberpunk shooter is attached to that.

        The shooting aspect feels good, but the game is very repetitive. The enemy variety never expands after the beginning and the quests suck. You'll also be running between locations a lot with nothing happening (fast travel points are pretty far away from the elevator and you can't fast travel between floors). Gun balance is also quite bad iirc in a way that you'll find this cool unique gun in late game only for it to be outclassed by a generic gun you've been using this whole time. Oh and the final "boss" is really bad if you play solo.

                sure but the game never really gives you the amount of enemies to flex on those moves so you always default to the bread and butter tier moves that work without having the need to use some of the powers you have

      did they fix the micro-stutters when you use charged spin attack? i remember if you dashed into a boss while spinning you deal giga damage but each hit would stutter the game and all the "smoothness" completely evaporates. and it was the strongest move in the game when i played it, so it sucked even more
