Incredibly faithful 40k adaptation and pretty good game. The graphics are gorgeous, the combat system is just complex enough to be rewarding and not repetitive. If you ever touched any Space Marine figurine at some point in your life, you'll necessarily love this game (and certainly spend hours and hours customizing your Astartes)

A very impressive game. If you liked Limbo and inside, you' certainly love this one. My only regret about this game is the complete absence of storytelling or scenario, I mean there isn't even environmental storytelling like in Inside : the synopsis is really just 'you're an abstract hero in an imaginary abstract world purposelessly trying to reach the next room'.

So it's purely a game design thing, but what a game design masterpiece! As a game developer myself, I can tell this game is really a textbook example of how to create a complex game design just with a few simple features. It starts very easy, then it progressively add new features and combines them in more and more complex and intricate ways, without ever repeating the same resolution logic twice. The game also manages to be challenging enough without ever being frustrating or resorting to a 'hints' system (I was just blocked once in the entire game, for like 20 minutes).

The game also enforces (very strictly) that you can never get soft-locked or waste time in a previous zone where you don't have anything to do anymore, and I really appreciated that. (without some of the strategically positioned no-return points, I probably would have go back and wander for 30 minutes in the search of non-existent solutions, so thanks for that)

Would be a cool game if I could finish a match with all players....

The connexion issues are unbearable: every match, at least one player is disconnected for some reason, and THERE IS NO RECONNECT OPTION. How is this even possible in 2023?! You got to play for 20 or 40 minutes, to face a sudden crash, or a short internet disconnexion or anything aaaand... it's gone. I've literally just played 6 games in a row, never finishing a game with all players. Once I got disconnected, once the game just crashed for no reason, and the 4 other games I finished 2v3 because some player of our team got disconnected.

It's just unplayable in this state. I'll just uninstall until they fix this.

Absolutely incredible game. Gameplay is addictive and constantly renewed, I'm just at chapter 3 after more than 20 hours of gameplay and the game is still throwing new gameplay elements at me so that it never feel repetitive or boring.
The art style is also really charming and, more importantly, the characters and dialogues are very funny, especially Bancho and Duff cutscenes. Game of the year hands down

I thought Limbo was pretty good, even if it was a little bland sometimes for me... But THIS is a whole new level : visually amazing, a breathtaking direction, very immersive sound design and music, and more importantely, a perfect game design from the beginning to the end: a lot of incredible ideas, getting more and more complex, but always very intuitive, the puzzles are juste as hard as they need to be, without ever getting frustrating. Inside is an absolute game design masterpiece!

I finished it in a single night (around 4h) and I really couldn't leave before the ending.

In particular, the last... "chapter" of the game, with a new main feature, is absolutely UNREAL! My jaws were hanging down during 15 minutes, as I was genuinely wondering:
  • what the hell am I playing now?
  • how can such a crazy feature work so easily, seamlessly, and without any bug?
  • what kind of mad men could even imagine something so gross and twisted? (I mean seriously dudes, what's wrong with you?)
If you read this, you MUST play this game, at least to experience these last 15-20 minutes from another planet.

Extraordinary game <3 The gameplay is so simple... yet so rich.
There is only one feature in the whole game, but you will spend hours to learn how to optimize your score.

This game is completely stupid! I love it... Somewhere between Max Payne, Hotline Miami and Super Meat Boy, great concept.
it's just a little short on first walkthrough, but a lot of replay value: a lot of features, many skills to master.

I've been following this game for like 3 years now and I'm not disappointed, amazing work Victor(from a fellow game dev).

Beaucoup, beaucoup trop court...

Le principe est bien pensé et assez fun, la difficulté est assez bien dosée (les puzzles ne sont pas très durs en soi, mais la contrainte de temps suffit à mettre beaucoup de pression) et le jeu a le mérite de pouvoir faire découvrir quelques notions d'électronique à certains, mais le contenu est vraiment trop limité pour 7€ : J'ai du boucler le jeu en une heure environ et il n'y a aucune rejouabilité ensuite. Donc, même si j'ai passé une très bonne heure, je peux difficilement laisser une évaluation positive à ce jeu, quand on peut, par exemple, trouver Mini Metro pour 10€ ou The Witness pour 37€... Le rapport durée de vie/prix n'est juste pas raisonnable.

Il faudrait absolument ajouter à ce jeu un éditeur de bombes pour laisser la communauté enrichir le contenu. Si cela finit par voir le jour, je repasserai mon évaluation en positive.

Je le recommande néanmoins à tous les amateurs de puzzles si le jeu tombe à moins de 3€ pendant des soldes.
