Really nice game from Upstream, with it being very similar in borrowing concepts and gameplay flow from the likes of West of Dead. One of the main things the game is missing is a lack of a map feature, especially given how nice of one West of Dead has, since you do need to pace back and forth around areas to get the most out each run. Another thing, albeit minor, are some awkward hitboxes that linger a lot longer than what's visually shown, which can make dodging seem very wonky or unreliable. The game does, however, get things right like the presentation of the various members of B.P.R.D staying inside the Butterfly House with you to investigate, as well as the general gameplay loop still being very rewarding for correctly remembering patterns and knowing when to be aggressive.
i dont know how to close this out bc i got lazy so bye
