You have a kink for mechanical, industrial heavy metal stuff? You like big German(WW2)-style Turrets?
This game is the one for you.
Very polished handling and mechanics for everything in game.
Even though the gameplay is kinda complex and layered, you get the hang of it pretty quick. I expected it to be too tedious, but was delighted how exciting, fun and satisfying the gameplay is.
You need to be a certain type of person to love this game, as it kinda is a "spreadsheet-game", which may bore some players. But personally I fell in love with the first successful mission I executed.
I want to especially point out the amount of love for details and love for the game itself. Every animation is very realistic and well done, in some places the devs put in more work and love than they actually needed and it shows. Example: There is a Cat Configurator, containing almost any fur color or body type there is - you can build your own cat which will give you mental support during missions... or take a nap on top of your battle map. It's absolutely gorgeous.

This is a true Gem and a masterpiece, a true one-of-a-kind game and it exactly hit a spot in my head that was itching for a long time.

Well....
Finally a counter from the conservative side in the ongoing culture war.
It's good to see someone push back against woke culture... But this wasn't it.
It's so grotesque, it almost comes across as a parody of the trad side, rather than good satire of woke culture.
Example: The developer criticizes a central focus on ♥♥♥♥ and piss the woke side is supposed to have - only to then make the whole game itself about ♥♥♥♥ and piss. Every second word in this game is ♥♥♥♥ and it's the punchline of almost every gag. It saddened me to see it turned out like this - this is not what conservatism stands for. Lead by example, not by copying the things you think they're doing wrong.
The one liners were stale and often made little to no sense. The whole voiceover is AI, as well as ingame cutscenes and MAYBE even textures - I'm willing to overlook this, since it's a one man developer. There were some weird grammar and spelling mistakes, making me believe that the whole game might be more than only AI-assisted, DESPITE the game saying in the intro that the game was made by a human.
My full playthrough took 2.3 hours - as a boomer shooter fan I was not very thrilled with level design, the secrets but especially the weapons lacked concept. There is no need to use the rocket launcher, since the egg tube launcher just is better in every aspect. And in most cases, Shotgun, pistol and machine gun are enough for every of the 5 enemy types there are.
The boss fights were uninspired and very easy to beat.

TL;DR: A bland, uninspired piece of satire which aims to criticize woke culture, but sabotages the conservative standpoint more than achieving to criticize it's enemy. The finnish boomer shooter "White Hell" did a much better job in criticizing society and ideology.

Final verdict: 3/10, cause I like the concept in principle and boomer shooters have a spot in my heart - but this aint it, unfortunately.

Ur-Shak sagen: Seien guuuuutes Remake! Ur-Shak sehen, Entwickler haben genommen Vorschläge von Verbesserung aus Community an und haben gebaut ein in Spiel.
Entwickler haben gebaut ein Elemente aus Original ü-ber-all, Tarrak!
Trotzdem Entwickler haben ergänzt Teile von Spiel - sodass nicht nur alte Fans seien zufrieden, Khrotok - sondern alle!
Spiel laufen flüssig und ohne Stürze von Ab - Computer von Ur-Shak in Zelt seien aber auch stark, Ur-Shak müssen merken an. Einzige Bugs welche Ur-Shak haben bisher gesehen, waren - hehe - Wanze von Fleisch! Verstehen? Weil... seien buchstäblich Bug. Ja. Rushtasok.
Als Ur-Shak erblickten Barriere und altes Lager von Platz von Austausch, Haut von Gans seien gekommen über Arme von Ur-Shak. Auch Freund mit Stimme von sanft seien zurück - Ur-Shak nicht können warten zu spielen Remake zuende... und zeigen Kruuuuushak, wo Ulu-Mulu hängen!

Denn Morras wissen: Fremder tragen Ulu-Mulu, dann Fremder nicht sterben!

This is THE Game to play with Friends of all Ages and Gender - the more, the merrier.
The whole game is so intuitive, new players understand the mechanics quickly even without a tutorial (although there is one).
It's not really scary, but scary enough to be exciting. Sometimes the game just catches you off guard with a scare, but it's all manageable even for the faintest of heart.
The Devs are constantly updating and adding new cool and creative stuff to keep the game fresh and you can definitely tell its a labour of love when you play it. The whole design of the game is kinda cute and appealing, I quickly identified myself with the semibots.
And to put the cherry on top: It's fully moddable with a big ensemble of cool mods available, which are just as creative and well made as the game itself is. R.E.P.O. is a must-buy.

TL;DR: It's kinda like Phasmophobia, but with lower needed skill, mixed with a heist-type game. Get as much stuff as you can, bring it to the extraction point and get the hell out of there. Brillant concept, great execution, absolutely fun. Just go ahead and buy it, you wont regret it - especially if you can bring some friends!

Absolute Must-Buy.
Its ARK + Pokemon + Satisfactory.

Don't expect an action packed shooter.
If you like a relaxing and calm time with some concentration and tension sprinkled in, this game is for you.
Waiting / Tracking a target down, waiting for the perfect moment and dropping it with an accurate shot to the heart is very satisfying.
Also: Best DLC Content I've seen so far. DLCs done right.

Constant Tension, gets tenser the farther you progress. I needed about an hour, very interesting concept and worthy of its 5€ price tag.

Good Rogue-Like, this will be a good game when its done. Came here after Vampire Survivors and I can assure you: It's not a clone of it.
Its based on a kind of Tech-Tree-System that is centered around Firearms, not Melee-Weapons. Lots of Potential here.

Fantastic game. Games go a perfect 30min. Extremely thrilling and satisfying to play. I immediately tried to complete the game 100% and it needed 31 hours.
31h I had one of the best arcade experiences so far. And for that cheap of a price tag it's a MUST BUY.
You wont regret it!

Good. Especially funny with friends whilst in discord. Hitting the ball is more realistic and less calculateable than in Golf with your Friends, which I actually prefer. It makes for some super funny scenarios.
