RUINER is surely a title not suitabile for everyone because of its top-down shooter mechanics; it's easy to learn, but very, very hard to master. The solid cyberpunk setting gives the game a dark-neon atmosphere that perfectly fits around the gameplay. It features an extremely fun and exciting combat alongside various weapon types, satisfying boss fights and tons of other stuff. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3368772206

Cool game. Runs incredibly well on Steam Deck. Took me a while to get used to its button layout, and as far as I could tell there's no way to remap, but I put a few commands on the back buttons and beat the game on Normal pretty easily. Great color palette, great character art, great machinery design. The combat is fun and fast, and even though some fights are tough, the checkpoint system is very generous. I didn't understand the story, but I liked the general beats and weird cyberpunk stuff. I usually hate being graded on combat encounters, but this game's version of ranking is quick and stylish in a way that never bothered me. Very satisfying to get high combos as well, thanks to the unique voiceover. I also like how you can reallocate skill points at any time, even in the middle of combat! Really glad I picked this one up.

aight heres a quick review: Gameplay its pretty solid fun and stylish, if you played games like Hotline Miami then you will enjoy this game too. The story is fast paced but good enough. The soundtrack is pretty good. Also the ambiance of this game plus the art style is a superb, if you love cyberpunk themes then you are going to love this game The only con i see in this game is that its WAAAAAY too overpriced for a REALLY short game, you can finish the game in literally one afternoon (4.4 h) so i highly suggest to buy this when its for sale. 7.8/10, game is good but just wait for it to be in sale.

Every visual and auditory aspect of this game is incredible. Based on vibes alone, this is the best cyberpunk game I've played. The combat on the other hand isn't great. It's slow, unresponsive, and none of the abilities you unlock are particularly interesting. Attempts to try out different combos or abilities usually lead to less effective results than just spamming dash and melee. At first I wasn't a fan of constantly switching guns every time you run out of ammo, but looking back this decision was probably for the best otherwise I would optimize even more fun out of the game by just using a shotgun at all times. The combat isn't bad enough to justify not playing the game though, and I can still recommend it just because of how good everything else is.

A rad as hell twin stick shooter that somehow helped me discover some kinks that were sort of lurking in the shadows, so thats neat. The story is pretty mid though, but thats hardly the point here. high speed ultra-violence is the point, and while im not huge on twin-stick shooters, this one nailed it for me. another one of those games where a lady in your head calls you stud muffin
