It has an idea, and potential to be a great game. It's such a shame it's not. World/map design is pretty bad, there are a few secrets which is not enough aaand it's pretty boring. If the setting seems interesting, it might be worth buying on a sale. Ultimately, I'll give it a good rating as it's not a bad game, but a mediocre and lacking one.

I really enjoyed this game, but there are a couple of caveats that might turn off certain players. Firstly, this has a simply told, but fairly meaningful and surprisingly dark story that ends in a way I did not see coming. It does a good job at conveying a lot of meaning without needing a ton of words to do it. The titular Gunbrella is also an awesome combination of multiweapon and traversal tool, giving your character a way to move around that I've never seen in another game, but which also feels fantastic and is easy to master. You will travel around the world, unraveling the story and completing optional quests for people you'll meet along the way. Don't sit on them too long though as there are several you can miss if you progress too far before completing them. At certain points, you can go back and forth between areas, but this is pretty linear overall. The two things that I didn't mind, but that I think some might is that Gunbrella is both very short and VERY easy. My playthrough where I did most of the side quests, but missed a couple only took me about 5 hours, though How Long to Beat says 100%-ing it can take up to 10. I also died maybe a half dozen times in the entire game and half of those were on the final boss, who I thought might be a challenge until I discovered something quickly that made him trivial. Unless you have bad aim or bad reflexes, you won't find this challenging at all. I didn't mind either of these things as I prefer shorter games these days and sometimes, I just enjoy a fun adventure that isn't a skill test, but some players will find the lack of challenge boring. That's fair if you're that type of player, so you should know that. I had a good time with this and I hope Doinksoft makes more stuff like it.

Dude we need a level editor, this is the perfect game to have a Mario Maker esque mode.

4/5 +-6h A good shortish twinstick action platformer In short : - Shallow writing that feels incomplete + Veeery fluid platforming + Satisfying although generally easy combat +- Bosses that range from challenging, skilltesting and fun to absolute pushovers - Wish there was optional difficult platforming-centered challenges My main gripes about this game: - Setting is underexplained and there's a major plot hole Why did the bad guy leave the Gunbrella on the crime scene, is he stupid I don't really mind if story is bad or generic though as a lot of games I enjoy even have even worse stories. This one just ends up generic but with missed opportunity to stand out more - There's a lot of different ammo types They mostly end up clogging your inventory as I found half of them worse than the infinite default one and the last 3 I kept for bosses only. Most importantly - I wish there was more and more challenging optional content I did all sidequests to my knowledge and it took me 6h This is a shame not because of how short the game is but because I wish there was much tougher platforming challenges that required me to fully master advanced gunbrella platforming. The movement is very fluid and interesting and reminds me a lot of Celeste. Smooth walljump, airdash, float Sadly the game ends without really asking you to challenge you to masterfully chain these actions. I wish like Celeste there was optional challenges to get to after I beat the game but wanted more and was ready for tougher. Using the gunbrella is really fun and it's impressive how intuitive but multi purpose it is (Hold to block, tap to dash, block just right to reflect, use it to dash downward or float slower down) Moving fast becomes addictive and fun but is sadly never a challenge required by the game

On one hand, there's a lot to like in Gunbrella. The atmosphere is fantastic and the gameplay mechanics and traversal are well done. I loved using the umbrella all the time. Also, it felt nice that instead of going through levels you do quests and side quests back and forth in different areas while getting some minor upgrades. On the other hand, the game is a bit lacking. Bosses are extremely easy. There were one or two in particular in which I didn't have to do anything other than stay still and shoot in the same direction. You get a ton of weapons but hardly a reason to use them. I used the base shotgun 99% of the game except in the parts the game forced me to use another gun to kill the wraiths. There are like 5 other weapons that I didn't even try 'cause there was no reason. The shotgun is that good. I also played this with a joystick and it took me a long while before I got used to what each trigger does. The game has a lot of buildup that feels good but then it doesn't deliver. It doesn't feel satisfying to do anything because the rewards are meh. I still had fun in my 5 hour run and I was intrigued by the lore of this world. I do recommend this but it's not GOTY material. 3.5/5 - Good, not great.
