this game feels incredibly buggy. started off with a strange resolution, which i didn’t find all that concerning and was able to manually set to my native resolution. then in the tutorial i noticed i could drive slightly beyond the edge of the screen, and even worse enemies will hang out in that space . . . or maybe they aren’t actually there but the game shows that there’s an enemy in that direction. the controls didn’t feel quite right playing with a controller, and the tutorial kept showing the same instructions twice: once for keyboard and once for controller.

the story / setting reminded me a little of mad max (though i’m not particularly familiar with mad max) and it had nice art and voice acting introducing it. the writing is pretty basic though. i also got 11 of the 40 achievements by just playing just past defeating the first boss. as far as i could tell, my normal weapons didn’t do anything to the boss and instead had to lure it over my “super weapons” but also the mines didn’t even seem to explode. doesn’t seem like there’s anything here worth my time here.
