It's challenging and addictive. And you can scum-save, so if you want to get all the achievements you can abuse it, like I did.
I'm a little sad that it's over, because it's a really good game, so I'll probably end up playing it more at some point.
The art style annoyed me at first, as it makes it harder to identify the silhouette of your enemies. But I eventually got so used to it that I didn't had a problem anymore.

I like playing my games with a more defensive stance, reacting to the enemies ataks, but in this game it's just not a viable option, if you want to win you must play really aggressive. Any one that says this game is easy to beat, played it with all accessibility options on, I'm certain of it, it's only easy the first 3 levels the 4 after the difficulty spikes, they where challenging, and the 7 doppelganger challenges required me to activate the accessibly options, else I would have probably given up.

The history it's really bad. It's like it was done for kids, but it touches themes that a kid wouldn't grasp.
If they made it for kids, they should have done a better job laying the foundations of the issued addressed in the story. If it was for adults, they should have drop the serious issues and embrace the absurdity with a more compelling set of characters.

I beat two:

The developers don't seem to have abandoned the development of the game, so it still can improve. But the game it's really bad right now. The collisions are all wrong, and the visuals in top of that make it confusing. I'm gonna postpone to complete it when their fix the game, if they don't, I will leave it as beaten.

This game requires a lot of grinding to complete, apart from the DLC that I'll get when they are on deal. I get the impression that I'll likely abandonee this game and leave it as beaten. But I'm not certain yet.

I’m struggling to beat one game:

Arboria

Another game that requires a lot of grinding, thought it can be argued that can be beaten with skill alone, I lack that skill.
What I find odd about the game it's that are the mobs that feel thought, the bosses in the other hand are really easy in comparison. I beat first try two of the three bosses that I've fought so far.

And lastly I’ve been replaying:

SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE

Even if I have all the achievements there still some side levels that I didn't do before and I wanted to play them.
