I'm browsing the weekend deal page .
How good games are these ?
Ruiner
A cyberpunk twin stick shooter of sorts, bit of hotline miami in there as well.
I found some things awkward with kb+m, but barely remember what exactly the issues were. There definitely were some though, control-wise.
You don't retain weapons once they're empty either except for the basic one and you sword. That sort of thing.
It wasn't that great in terms of mechanics in general.
Nice art and mood, but otherwise not quite up to snuff.
Buy if it's cheap if you like the genre in general, otherwise not worth it imo.
I played it on release, so I don't know whether it has been improved since. Check the update news first. If they fixed some stuff, maybe it's worth checking out now.
It's supposed to be something of a Syndicate/Syndicate Wars successor.
Ended up being more like a semi open-world cyberpunk Commandos-lite game.
It sadly has a cover system where you have to stick just behind cover (ugh) instead of at least a normal system where shots simply take obstructions anywhere near/in their path into account (JA2).
It's not much of a sim though, You just take reduced damage (dps) when in cover and more out of it etc. A lot of weapons are underwhelming.
Can be hard on your system compared to what's really on screen (lots of color and neon light smudgy stuff and rain and whatnot, but not much else). I don't think they ever fixed that.
It got a big update at some point to help with some of the annoying stuff... Has a mode where damage is much increased so you don't feel like you're playing a fucking MMO anymore.
Mission areas are mostly fenced/walled compounds on the map, where you have to enter somehow (rope in, hack door, whatever). Then the rest is a Commandos-like puzzle if you want to go stealth.
If not, you may face endlessly spawning enemies (yay).
There's a lot of cheaply made systems like the research, but I can't be bothered to get into all of it.
Another game to get during a steep sale if you're really bored. But like ruiner it looks cooler than it is.
Hope that helps...
