Absolute Mess of a Game
7 September 2023
From the piss poor story to the clunky incoherent controls this is an absolute waste of your time.

Narrative wise it can't decide if it's a harrowing action sci-fi body horror or a comedy both of which it fails at. Warren's kicking about from the first game but for some reason thinks he's got something better to do while you're clearly transforming into a murderous tank before his eyes. And there's a girl. She's the key. And only you can sense/save her. Slow clap Shakespeare.

So you'll be walking around lopping off limbs fighting recycled bosses only beatable by completely changing your implants/weapons, jumping mid fight with no option to turn it off/remap it, parrying successfully when the machine gods deem you worthy no matter how many times you've done it and resetting the world for no other reason then this is a soulslike.

Guys get rid of all the crap and refine the actual mechanics. No one cares that there are fifty f swords because they all basically function the same and the world they inhabit is as compelling as Warren in a cowboy hat.
