Bullet Hell meets Doom and Metroid on steroids, I really hope for more games like this in the future from Sony first party that takes risks like this one. This is a beautiful evolution of Housemarques style of games while still incorporating their DNA of who they are as at their core and probably the best game they've made yet. Incredibly addicting gameplay, haunting and beautiful atmosphere and level design that always had me exploring, taking risks and hitting me with surprises good and bad constantly on each run. The best gunplay I've experienced in a game since Doom Eternal and the moment to moment gameplay is incredible. Boss fights were exhilarating and one had me winning by just the skin of my ass. I didn't die as much I was expecting to but regardless this game is not easy and requires shoot, move, run and ask questions later and one simple mistake can fuck everything up and I love it.

There's so much to love about this game and experience for me from the amazing audio sound design that actually works to your advantage if your on top of your game to even a story narrative that had no business being as conceptually terrifying and hauntingly good as it was with a great lead performance from actress Jane Perry and the best audio logs in a game I've heard in sometime. despite maybe some RnG elements that maybe I'm just not use to because I haven't played many Rougelikes but Housemarque has delivered the best PS5 exclusive so far for me and I can't wait to see what they come up with next.
