A fun & challenging cyberpunk themed twin-stick shooter with a mild chance of cyberpsychosis in form of epilepsy or seizure. Storytelling is one area where Ruiner falls short, but its striking art style, music & surprisingly varied gameplay still make it an easy recommendation.

I still do not think i can recomend this game. Visually its perfect, good graphics, cool vibes, unmatched atmosphere of dystopian cyberpunk, good immersive soundtrack. The artstyle is incredibly on point, this game has a style. But gameplay wise its bad, sometimes horrible. Controls are clunky, dash mechanic is stubborn, a lot of visual noise, sometimes unfair enemy placements. Not to say you dont know how much damage you doing, how much your weapons supposed to do, coldowns on abilities are weird, no handoff on what abilities do to certain enemy types, can of worms about bosses and on and on. So you are on rollercoaster of "this game feels great" to "this expirience is truly miserable" Also there is still some inconsistencies. Like some visual bugs, inconsistent cutscenes and bandaids Buy on your own risk, i recomend to firstly play on easy and normal. Only move to hard and NG+ when you have enough expirience with game and its skillset.

This is such a weird case of "what are these reviews even talking about?". After some initial learning curves on mechanics this game is insanely straight forward - even on hard - and there's not really a whole lot of BS outside of occasionally janky projectile hitboxes. Story's plain and keeps you wanting to move, stat page lets you freely customize builds (even mid fight) so you can try something else immediately. Death is instant lets you restart fast, checkpoints are pretty fair. The highs are pretty great - putting multiple enemies in execute status to bounce between them for executes. Absolutely deleting tough enemies by zipping around at mach 10 dumping damage into them. The real complaints I have are very few. Not being able to go back to previous side quests if you were just blasting through levels outside of quitting to main menu. There's not a whole lot of meat on the world either besides aesthetics, and that does drag it down a bit. Some weird animation bugs(mostly during executes). But nothing that I'd throw a thumbs down for. If I had to take a guess without looking it up at all, release RUINER was probably way more rough than it is after all the post launch patches. So there's that. Would I pay full price for this? Probably not now that it's almost a decade old and we're about to get a sequel. I got it during one of the 90% off discount sales. If you really jive with the theme go nuts. I usually don't leave reviews at all, but seeing these "most helpful" ones reading like they were playing with no thumbs compelled me to do so. Do it for HER ◕‿↼

Awesome 5 hour playthrough. This is a pretty unique game with its really cool cyberpunk aesthetic. At times it gives Blade Runner & Ghost in the Shell vibes. Plenty of good boss fights. I recommend playing with a controller and completing the playthrough in a single session.
