  • gameplay
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Some of the enemies are fast enough to hit you before you can move out of the way because they start their aggro mechanics before you have seen them, especially in multiplayer.”
    • “If the player had any one of the following three (moves faster, had a few more health ticks, or had a roll mechanic), the sacrifice would work well, but as it stands it is a complete detriment.”

    • “Personally, I'm not a fan of the CRT overlaid scanline aesthetic, so I changed it in the settings.”
