I played this mostly on my steam deck. I gotta tell ya, it is fuckin' hard to play an intense game like this on the deck that requires this much joystick nuance. I have also clocked a few sessions on my desktop with an xbox elite 2 controller which is a much better experience.

As for the game itself: Love the art direction. Love the level design. Love the core game loop.

I haven't finished it yet, but I think I would like this game more if it had more of an in-your-face story rather than a plot revealed in a gone-home-esque way where info is revealed through letters and other artifacts sprinkled throughout an environment. Or maybe it would be better with no story at all. I don't know why I'm yammering on about the story, it really doesn't detract from the experience. But I can't help but feel that something extra there might have elevated the experience.

Overall: very fun highscore action game that will put your skills to the limit.
