A mulleted messiah has arrived to rescue video games from mediocrity. A biting, bitter satire of a post-punk human condition, where rebellion and conformism are one and the same, where eating some of the rich implies feeding others. Not delivered pedantically, but in short bursts of uncanny and rare scenes, highlighting the cognitive dissonances present in our culture. Without ever vilifying or sacrificing the gameplay, unlike many other attempts throughout the years. The developers know how the human brain works -- they know how to keep you playing. They know how to deride the entire concept of achievement hunting, and then simply send you on a quest to do just that, fully aware that even if you understand the problem with it, there is a very good chance you will still do it. But at the same time, you will come out of it stronger. Next time, you might realize when someone is trying to manipulate you in the same way. You might realize that it should've never been about the sneakers, or even the dopamine from all the carnage, but about saving our fellow retrohuman.

I really like this game - it's a wild, high-energy fusion of various genres and styles. It feels like someone mashed together an ‘80s action hero, classic anime, cyberpunk vibes, roguelike elements, and FPS action - then dialed it up to the max. Despite the chaos, the game still finds room for sharp humor and delivers an outstanding gameplay experience that ties everything together seamlessly.
