RUINER

หนึ่งในเกมแนว cyberpunk ที่ดีมากๆเกมหนึ่งและมีงานภาพที่ดีมากเช่นกันแถมเล่นสนุกเพลงก็มันเล่นเพลินๆได้

Visually interesting, satisfying combat. Story is pretty lacklustre and the game gets a bit dull after an hour or so.

4/5 star

간지작살

Perfect neon-dripping cyberpunk atmosphere. Soundtrack is INCREDIBLE pumping techno and ambient moods. The world, art, everything just amazing - this game has style for daaaays. The twin-stick combat takes some getting used to, but once it clicks and you start levelling up, chaining attacks and strategies, RUINER does what a game like this should do - make you feel like an unstoppable god. There's also a lot of depth in the loadouts, and I really liked how you could dump your powerup nodes into any combination of abilities on the fly. I wish more games did that because it makes for quick, fluid experimentation (which fits the world of the game where everybody is cybernetically augmented). The whole game from movement to combat to the menus and systems is slick as slick can be. Some minor gripes, I guess: the story isn't anything to write home about and the levels themselves are almost indistinguishable from each other - I read someone say the whole game was like the steelworks at the end of Terminator 2. That's not far off, and it got a bit dull. So did the linear nature of the levels, where you're funnelled down a narrow corridor into a gauntlet room. Rinse and repeat, pretty much. The fights themselves are adrenaline-pumping, but there isn't much variety. Occasionally, there is a new wrinkle on this (for example, walls of death where you can ricochet bullets around), but they were few and far between. I wish there was more of that, and non-linear exploration. The hub world was amazing, but also felt under utilised. But RUINER's positives far, far, FAR outweigh any of that. I picked it up on a whim, having never heard of it, and had one of the best gaming experiences in a long while. RUINER 2 - just hook that ♥♥♥♥ to synthetic veins.
