RUINER is a stylish and brutally fast-paced cyberpunk action game that excels in atmosphere and combat but falls short in storytelling and variety. It’s a game that delivers intense, adrenaline-fueled action wrapped in a visually striking world, but it sometimes struggles to maintain depth beyond its aesthetic. The biggest strength of RUINER is its presentation. The neon-drenched cyberpunk cityscapes, glitchy UI effects, and pounding synthwave soundtrack create an incredible sense of style and immersion. Every frame of the game feels like a cyberpunk fever dream, with sharp, angular designs and a haunting, dystopian atmosphere that pulls you in immediately. The combat is another highlight. It’s fast, brutal, and satisfying, rewarding quick reflexes and tactical thinking. The mix of melee and ranged weapons, along with abilities like dashes and shields, keeps encounters exciting and fluid. The game makes you feel powerful, but never invincible, as enemies hit hard and require careful positioning and strategy to defeat. Boss fights, in particular, are intense and well-designed, pushing you to master the game’s mechanics. However, RUINER has its drawbacks. The story is minimalistic and doesn’t feel as engaging as the world it’s set in. While the themes of corporate oppression and cybernetic augmentation are intriguing, the narrative doesn’t develop enough to make you truly invested in your silent protagonist’s journey. The game also leans heavily on its cyberpunk aesthetic without offering much depth in world-building. Another issue is the repetition. While combat is fun, the enemy encounters start to blend together after a while, and mission objectives don’t offer much variety beyond “kill everything in the room.” The game’s length is fairly short, which helps prevent fatigue, but it still could have used more diversity in gameplay. Overall, RUINER is a visually stunning and mechanically satisfying game that thrives on its cyberpunk atmosphere and intense action but falls short in narrative depth and variety. If you’re looking for a fast-paced, stylish action game with an amazing soundtrack, it’s worth playing—but don’t expect it to redefine the genre. Rating: 7/10 – A sleek, cyberpunk power trip with repetitive gameplay and a forgettable story.

aight heres a quick review: Gameplay its pretty solid fun and stylish, if you played games like Hotline Miami then you will enjoy this game too. The story is fast paced but good enough. The soundtrack is pretty good. Also the ambiance of this game plus the art style is a superb, if you love cyberpunk themes then you are going to love this game The only con i see in this game is that its WAAAAAY too overpriced for a REALLY short game, you can finish the game in literally one afternoon (4.4 h) so i highly suggest to buy this when its for sale. 7.8/10, game is good but just wait for it to be in sale.

Every visual and auditory aspect of this game is incredible. Based on vibes alone, this is the best cyberpunk game I've played. The combat on the other hand isn't great. It's slow, unresponsive, and none of the abilities you unlock are particularly interesting. Attempts to try out different combos or abilities usually lead to less effective results than just spamming dash and melee. At first I wasn't a fan of constantly switching guns every time you run out of ammo, but looking back this decision was probably for the best otherwise I would optimize even more fun out of the game by just using a shotgun at all times. The combat isn't bad enough to justify not playing the game though, and I can still recommend it just because of how good everything else is.
