• Recommended Posted September 2, 2025 on Steam Played the demo in May , 2 weeks before its initial release date, and it was a lovely game that needed some time in the oven, The guys actually delayed it and now its a proper game, runs good if not perfect, audio is not acting funny anymore and all the other problems seem to be gone. A mix of doom with ghostrunner and im all for it! Update : Game so good i finished it in one sitting, wish it was longer!!!!!
• Not recommended Posted November 4, 2025 on Steam Okay, so the short campaign? Fantastic. Not worth $40, but still a very solid experience. But how the devs have treated the game post-launch? Wow... They launched New Game + like a month ago, but the update wiped everyone's save data. (The game started saving in a different folder, so not deleted data, but if you didn't know to look for it (and how would you), it's gone.) So they roll the patch back. Okay, mistakes happen, whatever. Then the devs go radio silent for nearly a month, not saying a thing. Today, they finally released a new patch... that erased everyone's saves. A dev chimes in "oh, looks like someone uploaded the wrong version". I see the thread 10 min after he posted that, and look at his profile. He's playing ARC Raiders, and has been for multiple hours. Another update rolls out, erases more save files for anyone that downloaded the last update. All debug options are turned on, so you have cheats and stuff, which I guess is nice. And all the while, other people discovered the game has had debug logging enabled the whole time, writing about 4 GB per hour of logs. Disabling write access to that directory is giving people a 30% boost to their FPS.
• Recommended Posted September 16, 2025 on Steam Metal Eden is a genuinely fun game with terrific traversal and feel-good gunplay that is oozing with style. Game is a bit on the easy side, but as shooter the pacing is fantastic and there's a lot of smart choices gameplay-wise, like respawning resources and snappy and infinite basic SMG. It's like Titanfall 2 and DOOM had a child, minus the annoyances with ammo and over-reliance on melee combat. Plot-wise it's a trashy (and not in a good way) Evangelion fanfic and it would be so much better if the needless storytelling with kitch 'smart monilogues written by silly people' wasn't so intrusive. Thankfully it's quite easy to ignore plot altogether and I suggest you to tone down the volume for dialogues for your own good taste's sake. Overall, it's a very nice blueprint of a future hit FPS-game with a quite steep price attached. So wait for a sale, I guess.
• Not recommended Posted September 4, 2025 on Steam I really, really wish I could recommend this game but I can't in good faith. Its got great combat, its fun, weapons are cool, movement feels good. The art is great for an indie studio, no complaints there. The performance isnt the best, but its better than I expect out of UE5 these days. But this game is just plain unfinished. And not just because its short, because it is painfully obvious that the story was rushed, and so were the boss fights, and the final levels of the game. The game took me only about 4-5 hours of continuous play to actually beat it, and THATS ON THE HARDEST DIFFICULTY. (thats another complaint, brutal is not difficult enough). I wish the story's plot was the regular cyberpunk corporate greed ruined the world stuff, that way i could just ignore it completely. But instead its some asinine plot about convincing a bunch of engineers to work together instead of hate each other, you literally save the world with the power of friendship. Or so I think, all of the story is basically packed into the last cutscene of the game because, as I mentioned, its very rushed. And I wish I could ignore the terribly cringy dialogue, the monologues you get from the other characters would sound really cool and deep to me if only I were still 12. Its trying way too hard to be deep. I feel for the developers of this game, I really wanted to like it, I loved the demos, I played them both, but this game does not deliver, not sure what happened during development, but this game was rushed straight out the door. Unless this game gets some expansion or something, do not buy. Edit: They did finally add a new game + mode which is nice, but I still wouldn't recommend buying this game at full price.
• Recommended Posted September 5, 2025 on Steam I'd recommend this on sale, it's a little pricey right now for how much content there really is. I beat the game in about 5 hours on Hard. it wears it's gameplay influences on it's sleeve, very clearly taking notes from Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, along with some Ghostrunner-esque platforming sequences. All of the guns feel really good, particularly the SMG being a favorite. It's also a gorgeous game. The use of color in the environments is very eye-catching, and while I'm not really a huge fan of Cyberpunk, something about the way Reikon does it feels very stylish (RUINER is also great in this aspect) Along with a pretty solid, at times really good soundtrack.
• Recommended Posted September 7, 2025 on Steam My taste in FPS’s is not your typical COD, The Finals, Apex, Overwatch etc. I grew up on Half-life 1, 2, Syndicate, Titalfall 2, Doom, etc. I can 100% admit I am in love with this game. It came out of nowhere for me and I enjoyed every second. It was a blast on Steam Deck. A rush in the best possible way. I’m not sure why it’s unsupported. I had very little bugs. It ran good for me.
