BioGun

Despite being buggy and sometimes laggy, I loved this game. The underlying game is a top notch Metroidvania.

Fun, not too hard, twin stick shooter Metroidvania in the body of your virus infected puppy. More short reviews for hidden gems at my curator page: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44819215-Lesser-Known-Hidden-Gems/

Excelente jogo, Historia interessante e te prende ao jogo, colecionáveis legais e divertidos, divertidos, a exploração e muito fascinante, o visual dos mapas e das áreas são muito boas, super recomendo.

I like this game. But I have mixed feelings. The art, the progression, the level design... it's all good. The music is engaging and the gameplay too. It's just that, for some reason, I feel very lost in what to do or where to go when comparing this to other metroidvanias. I wouldn't stop recommending this game because of this feeling... maybe it's just that I'm not a patient gamer anymore. Also the fact that it's not working well on Deck (it can be played but there is some bug related to the game engine that makes it difficult to have good FPS on it). It looks amazing on a Windows PC though. I will continue until I see the end credits so, I still think it's worth your money and time if you're thinking about getting this game.

Great art, cute presentation that has a fun Saturday Morning style but isn't generic, excellent run n' gun gameplay. It's a game I can tell could easily become a solid all time favorite. I put off playing this game for a LONG time but finally decided to jump in and it lives up to my own personal hype. With a caveat that I am well aware it has a janky engine, so there are performance issues. I'm playing a very modest desktop so far and plan to try out my Legion GO eventually. So far (and I'm very early) on Desktop the game plays very well 90% of the time with very occasional hitches. But the game is good enough that I can (so far) easily look past slight technical issues.

After about two hours, I realized you need three hands to play this game. One to steer, one to aim, and the third to shoot/jump/heal. Online threads told me it would be easier if the left stick controlled both actions, but I couldn't figure out how to do that in Steam Overlay. I gave up and enabled the in-game cheats (auto aim, god mode, etc.) and finished the game like this. The rest of the game was absolutely mediocre, and nothing redeemed the game, in fact, it ruined it, like the elements at the end (escaping Diromitus), so I finished the game frustrated.

My coworker is a cousin of one of the devs for this game and she held me at gunpoint to play this game. Emotional scarring aside, I'm glad she did. I love me a good metroid-vania and this one is fantastic AND has a really unique idea for the world the game takes place in. (By "world", I mean sick dog) I absolutely recommend this game to just about anyone!

Another game where a "mixed" recommendation would be perfect. The game is good, the Construct 3 engine is bad. Unplayable (for me) on Steam Deck and has some stuttering on desktop as well. I was using the native Linux build as I couldn't properly run the Windows version. There are also some bugs: sometimes you fall thru platforms, I was able to teleport to non-discovered portals, on one particular boss the button presses sometimes didn't register. It also couldn't work with my 8BitDo controller.

It's very run of the mill. If you've played a Metroidvania before, and have watched Osmosis Jones, you've basically already played this. Negative review because the final boss softlocked and I had to do it again.
