In Summary, For a early access game, The game is very good shape. With the devs being very clear and open on what the future updates will bring, You can buy the game now and feel confident that things will get better. I have had many um I want to say enjoyable but to be honest it was a lot of swearing and death threats to the controller moments so far. For puzzle/action fans you have a great title to get your teeth into. For people easily wound up you have a great title to aid you in raising your blood pressure. Its a solid game in all respects of the word and one that is worth checking out.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
