Rocked this on XBOX and now steam! a ruckus cyberpunk with that ole time western touch that niche that scratches the itch, i love playing this while jamming some Lazy Lazer, a cool western meets cyberpunk synthwave artist i found on Youtube which also goes good while playing Dust & Neon

When its on sale for like 2 bucks get it, you won't be dissapointed... unless you expect a sequel of this game which is very unlikely.

This AMAAAAAZING game is from a small group of devs. Excellent artwork , mind blowing animation , enjoyable combat and the feel-like-Spiderman parkour will definitely blow your mind. The script feels like it's from a AAA game. Everything abut this game makes it stand out in the crowd of genre its in. Honestly this is a different kind of experience I never expected when I bought this. Absolutely A++ AMAAAZING !

Very underrated game, great animations, great art, great story, interesting gameplay features, even pretty funny, just feels like it ran out of budget and finished the story early. If a little more was done i think the game could have had a lot more people playing it.

I had a really good time playing through the game right until the very end as it takes something that is paced pretty well and just absolutely ends it right out of nowhere, spoiler maybe, and it just sucks as the story is already pretty solid and right when it's getting juicy is when you end it on a cliffhanger. I really just wanted a few more minutes for 'They Always Run' to tell more of its story, but we can hope maybe we get a sequel. The visuals are incredible, the absolute thing that dragged me in. Everything looks, just great and everything is animated and put together with soul. Can't say anything more than that. Combat is pretty fun, it reminds me a bit of the Arkham combat as you can just slice and dice button bash until you see a little blue glimmer when you hit Triangle, Y, or even X to then reverse, but the thing that makes it different is you have this third arm that is fun to either send enemies flying or just using it to break an enemies block. But once you get the revolvers you can just run and gun for the most part, this and rolling around. Still fun. Platforming is pretty good, even if sometimes it can feel heavy and clunky. There's a lot of variety that the game continuously adds to build it up whether it be fence panels you have to scale up or these pole rafters you have to scurry across, etc. Or even abilities like double jumping or jet boot evades you gain later on too, it just adds at a good level to keep it feeling good. Like I said though sometimes it can be clunky as Aiden can feel heavy sometimes. Some people said that the dialogue was a bit much and depending on who you are I could see this, I thought it was fine as it was building towards the story and I didn't really mind reading as it's not like this is a visual novel or anything so you are a lot of times doing stuff, but yeah either voice acting would've been nice or to cut down a bit on unnecessary dialogue to still keep the story moving. For achievement hunters the game is pretty easy to run through. Literally just shoot everything, buy ammo whenever you can, and carry every boss bounty you can and you will have everything. Like I said previously, the game is good. No questions. However I hate when stories try to end stuff to then build up for a sequel especially in this when you are uncertain how that's gonna work, but if Alawar can figure that out I would buy that up. I would recommend for sure.
