By my generous estimation, the game has about two hours of content in it and I had a lot fun for my first hour of play.
The game is very jank tho and is filled with tons of minor bugs.
Pretty appealing visuals, but for some reason the player model is the weakest in terms of design, you'd think that would be the one model with priority.
With very little content, meh mechanics, but a cute aesthetic this game is entirely unworthy of the 25€ pricetag it has, not even half of that is justified for such a tiny game.

Let's start with the good stuff;
-Combat focused around parrying with some platforming is fresh and fun
-The art in the game is very good
-The momentum system changes the flow of combat quite a lot, which gives you some variety in the same fights based on how well you're doing overall
Now the bad:
-Inputs are serialised and often gives you a cooldown, i.e. you dash and now you can't block for a sec, you block and now you can't dash for a sec, incredibly frustrating
-The actual platforming feels bad, despite your character auto-climbing ledges you often get stuck on a lil pixel of a platform and fall, usually into spikes
-Not having momentum makes you incredibly weak and pathetic, momentum doubles your range, increases your damage, and gives you access to skills, so having no momentum is terrible
-A few enemies that seem to be specifically designed to annoy you, and nothing else
-Development seems to have ceased entirely
-The translation into english is terrible and thus I have no idea what NPCs are talking about

Praise:
It's certainly unique, I'll give it that. The lore, world, and plot have this wonderful weirdness to it, I am in love with the aesthetic. Something that is also refreshing is a puzzle game that actually needs some notes, although here it can get excessive.
Annoyances:
This game loves to waste your time in so many frustrating ways. Here's a few:
-There's plenty of sources of knowledge that you will need for puzzles, but you can not access these from anywhere you want, you have to go back to it, unless of course you screenshot every single possible clue that you come across. So trecking back to the library and other places (well sometimes you can't, so time to guess)
-Traversing levels can go from kinda slow to snail's pace, especially when you have to interact with puzzle elements to do so, which prompts several slow animations
-Hard to find puzzle elements often led me to run around in circles around the area until I found that one clue I needed. It is incredibly frustrating when you can't figure out a puzzle, because you missed a button around some corner.
-False clues are also a problem. I spent thirty minutes cataloging sound cues, because I just finished a finicky sound puzzle, just to figure out that there was no puzzle, it was literally just a maze, it wasn't clues. I even went back to check the entire maze, but there was nothing at all there. Going through an incredibly simple maze with clunky controls, slow animations, and nothing but red herrings. Respect my time, please.
-Clunky and finicky puzzles can often put you in the position where you found the correct solution, but the game will not register it or you won't realise that you actually solved it already

All of the clunk should've been fixed with the remake. Slapping ray-tracing and VR on an old game is not enough lmao

Amazing game. The open world feels great to traverse, most if not all gameplay elements are fully immersive, and the online elements make this feel entirely unique

If you wanna play a sniper game, this is probably the best you're gonna get, which is disappointing.
The game doesn't even have 15 hours of content, maybe if you count the "challenges" that would "add" playtime, it would go to a 20 hour game, but still. This game has several great environments, but for some reason doesn't even reuse them, you could easily repopulate every single one of these maps to make them feel unique in a new context, but they don't do that. It's just infiltrate a place one, you're done, you will never see that place again, which could be good if this game had more places to go to.
Playstyle variety is pretty good, but you barely get the opportunity or the reason to actually deviate from the best build (heavy/medium sniper + bow + RWS + drone), these tools will solve every single problem you have, unless you're going rambo maybe, but the bow is still amazing at that, considering it is literally equipped with exploding arrows, why would I ever carry a stupid SMG instead? There could be a simple way to shake things up, like putting restrictions on your loudout like in hitman "Raven, we couldn't smuggle your weapons to this contract, you'll have to work with what you find", that could even be a challenge to unlock new things with. Throw me a bone here.
Also all the DLCs are meaningless skins, I think one or two weapons too, but like why would you need another weapon that you're never gonna use? Why aren't there more contracts?
In conclusion: For 40$ this game is not worth it, buy it when it's 20$ or below

The new content is incredibly painful

Final Grade: Eh
apply buff, click enemy, enemy dies, pick up loot, repeat. That's all it really is, I got the game at less than two bucks, maybe at that price I could say it's an ok buy, but it really adds nothing to the table, if you played any other game of the genre, you experienced a more interesting version of this, some of those games are free too.
Not even gonna mention all the payed DLC, whatever this plus thing is. If you really want to play this, you're gonna have to shell out a bunch of money for a product that is pretty boring at face value.
tl;dr play something else

>look for resource
>spot resource
>hold w
>pick up
>repeat until one of your tools breaks again and you have to spend 5 mins getting back to your ship

Addendum: The humour is terrible. Potty humour, haha ♥♥♥♥, haha chicken, haha bad russian accent. It's grating

It's pretty poggers

Nothing more frustrating than slightly messing up the konami code required to initiate a drift and running straight into a wall or another racer slightly bumping into you, causing you to crash and lose on average four places
