The reviews for this game on here make me feel like I'm back on MyAnimeList in 2013, just massively contrarian takes fully overstuffed with window-dressed verbiage passed off as "critical analysis." If you want to see what I mean, check out the reviews for Porter Robinson's "Shelter" on MAL.
The game is fine, it's a $5 reverse bullet hell simulator that hits the dopamine button for "number go up" fans. No micro transactions, no deceptive game design, and no hidden depth; What you see is what you get. It's fun to build a loadout, unlock some shit, then put it down forever. It's the video game equivalent to junk food or reality TV, not some hidden paradigm of forward thinking game design. It's a brainless time killer while presenting itself as such shamelessly, and it's also fine if you just don't like that.
