    It's kinda sad looking at a youtuber making fun of someone's first game. Sure it's buggy and looks like garbage, but at least it has passion. Dude sometimes your nit picking some stuff like "basic human" that is not the name, it's the role. Sure you don't play as a cyborg, sure that the story does not coralline with the gameplay, sure you don't kill zombies much, but your just tearing down a small game for a small price. I understand that the game has some garbage in it, (pun intended) but at least acknowledge that it's just a guy's first game and from the gameplay of the steam page it looks garbage so you should have known it was going to look like that in the first place.

      Firstly, Hi! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
      When creating this video, I knew it was their first game they created (or at least uploaded to Steam), and I wouldn't mind so much if the game positioned itself as such, but it doesn't. I also didn't seek this game out specifically to review it - I'm playing through the steam store in order, which means that every game, good or bad, will be reviewed. I understand that everyone needs to start somewhere, so I do aim to give constructive criticism where possible, but the reality is that sometimes people overlook the absolute basics and get so wrapped up in what they think their project should be, that they can no longer see it for what it is.
      I believe this is one such example.
      PS the dev has made 3 other games of what appear to be very similar quality.

Except that the dev's game has buggy steroids. I get that the cyborg part is garbage in a garbage game because this game is about garbage and not cyborg. I kinda like the bait-and-switch I think that's what the game is really saying about itself. Now please know I am a guy who likes putting Ultrakill into the most garbage filter ever and can't see anything.

    Oh my god is this from the same developer as 2nd Circle: Powerful Magic? That doesn't mean anything to anyone but it's a terrible game with an interesting magic system that I've tried to complete It has the same aesthetic and everything. Just watch the trailer, it makes the game kind of endearing to me. I'm quite drunk I hope I'm making sense but it's been a personal joke for me for abwhile

      It is indeed the same dev! He has 3 games out and a 4th that was meant to release in 2021 but isn't out yet.
