FAN ART

Story is interesting and fun and easy to understand.

Nostalgic old school vibes reminds me of old school Jak and Daxter and fun.

Enemies are cool as all have own look and all have own attacks to learn to dodge.

Weapons are fun and can upgraded and all have own look and feel and fun to use.

Easy pick up and play and easy to understand don’t need learn alot of combos or loads of buttons.

Puzzles are fun to solve and actually have to figure them out not just you need a keycard kill enemies until you find it and fun to solve.

Shipset is funny at the start of your adventure but gets tiresome as he chats alot.

Levels kinda dull and don’t feel alive or fun to explore

Had some performance issues such as screen tearing and pop in.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall the story is interesting and fun with alot of nostalgic vibes and cool enemies that all have own look and own attacks to learn to avoid and weapons all have own look and own feel and can be upgraded aswell with an easy pick up and play game that has fun puzzles to solve. However for £15,99, Shipset starts out funny but as adventure continues can be annoying as chat alot and the levels felt dull not alive and had some performance issues such as screen tearing and pop ins.
