Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this sprawling boomer shooter for its level design, world and story, but many find its large maps and key hunts tedious.

Many players praise the detailed worldbuilding, the lore told through notes and environmental storytelling, and the satisfying weapons and combat. Level design earns strong praise, with large, interconnected maps, hidden secrets and a mix of exploration and platforming that goes beyond typical shooters. The soundtrack and art style also get frequent mentions. Many players complain about backtracking, searching the big maps for keys, levers and quest items, and puzzles that are hard to read because interactive objects rarely stand out. Some players say the second episode and Bloodrite are especially convoluted, and a few mention being lost for long stretches. Recent reviews are more negative than Steam's totals, with more players saying the puzzles and backtracking wore them down. Some reviews are critical of the mature content and the story's pacing.

Who it suits

Suits players who enjoy old-school shooters with exploration, puzzles, lore and large maps, and who are patient with backtracking.

Who should skip it

Players who want fast, constant action or dislike searching for keys and reading notes should skip it, as well as anyone bothered by its mature content.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours recommend it less often, mostly because of puzzles and backtracking they run into early; players with 20 to 200 hours more often praise the level design and lore.
