Garry's mod is almost entirely unchanged from how it was in 2012. You go in any server, there's a ten year old shouting racial slurs and some teenager making sex moans into his mic. Everyone's audio quality sounds like it's filtered through a layer of greasy tin-cans.

Someone is screaming about prop blocking and RDM, everyone's ignoring the traitor murdering someone in broad daylight, and one of the t-weapons is a minecraft house that screams in russian and explodes.

In short, it's about as much of an edgelord's paradise as ever. Great to see the spirit of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ from such a bygone era survive in some form!

This game is EXHAUSTINGLY fast-paced, but in a very good way.
Take your time to learn the mechanics, try not to rush directly into CONSTANT MOVE MOVE MOVE BULLETSPAM PARRYHYPE thinking. You can survive a lot more than you think by slowing down a bit and strafing.

I do mean what I said about exhaustion, though. This game's gonna really push you to learn it. This is a good thing however, as instead of being something that makes the game frustrating and un-fun it more makes the levels feel like a properly-measured challenge that you can take one at a time.

A lot of the guns also have pretty high skill ceilings, and all of them have a variant with an even HIGHER skill ceiling. The shotgun, for example, has a charge shot version and an pump action version. The charge shot version is all about timing and keeping your distance when you fire the charge-blast, while the overcharge version is more tricky. With the pump, you load an extra cartridge in with each right click, and if you load too many you'll explode for 50 damage when you fire. This is a mixed downside though, since what you can do is dash right as you fire off the explosion to negate the damage and use the powerful blast to take out whole groups of enemies.

You can also punch your shotgun blasts to make them go faster which is hilarious and rad.

If you're looking for something that'll satisfy your need for action REAL QUICK, I highly recommend this game!

fantastic pixel art, fantastic game design, just a fantastic game worth your time.

Short, but doesn't overstay its welcome as a result. reminds me of portal 1, strong mind-hurty concept and a slight bit of the same mad science angle to boot. took me about 2 or so hours to beat at a leisurely pace, much less if I hadn't spent so much time dinking about with a side-area.

Very much more a narrative experience than a game experience. Visuals are a fantastically immersive peek into what a machine-learning brain scan would look like, accentuated by hours of audio and reading on a very fascinating fictional technology.

Unfortunately, it is held back slightly by somewhat shallow puzzles and the visual spectacle sometimes making it unclear what you're supposed to be doing. I'm also going to say it feels like its a chapter shorter than its supposed to be, cutting off the story rather abruptly with some strange twists.
Overall though, the amount of thought put in absolutely warrants the purchase, though the walking simulator nature of it may put many others off. If that's a gameplay concern that bothers you, do avoid it. Otherwise, get on this for some really excellent speculative tech fiction.

Absolutely worth it for the art alone. Game's kinda stiff and, in my opinion, generically designed as a platformer, but a nice game regardless.

Very cute, very short game. Expect to finish it in about an afternoon.

The animation is all kinds of charming, utilizing boiling lines and wild camera angles to sell a very off-kilter cartoony vibe that I would love to see on tv.

The characters are all goofy cute characters with expressive movements and funny lines.

The one con I would give this game is that it can be easy to softlock. Try to avoid interrupting cutscenes with another character, it happened to me a few times in the restaurant.

(Also there's a slide puzzle, and those suck lol)

The game is kinda slow, aiming is unreliable, and movement feels remarkably stiff. It feels like there's half a game here even with the dlc, and it's not worth the price of admission.

this is just barely a reccomendation.

The game has a very nice story for realistic sci-fi nuts, very "2001 a space odyssy" or "Gravity" in terms of tone, complete with a number of surprisingly convincing portrayals of modern-adjacent space tech.

However, some of the puzzles can be a bit obtuse (looking at you, command override), one particular plot point doesn't make a terrible amount of sense, and there are ABSOLUTELY MISSABLE LORE TABLETS when you hit a new area. BE AWARE OF THAT, SPOILERS OR NOT I MISSED EXACTLY ONE THING AND OF _COURSE_ THAT'S WHERE IT WAS. when a dude starts telling you to go away that's your point of no return, REMEMBER THIS.

Other nitpicks: Controlling the observation sphere is terrible, would have been far better as a free-cam mouse control scheme. Cameras move so damn slow that it actuallly gets really annoying. Game doesn't really value your time a whole lot, relies on patience you may not have.

OVERALL: 6/10, it's aight. Good story and visuals account for all 6 of those points.

New beta adds a lot of quality of life fixings, and while I'll miss the wall-launching mechanic I think the new changes are worth losing it. It'd be better with it though, GIMME IT BACK
