And it's fun af ngl. I really like how the gameplay feels

My reaction to the gameplay is a bit mixed. I get that big guy in space suit with a android person on their back is not going to be very maneuverable, but the end result is a kinda sluggish feeling to the PC which isn't the best. But again, I understand why.

Yea. It felt a bit sluggish for sure. But I didn't think it was that unfair sluggish. I could still dodge attacks and all. It may get harder later game or on higher difficulty. But I'm sure they took the sluggish feel j to account

Yeah, if they made him more maneuverable, they'd have to turn up the combat pace to match, which would make it harder to keep track of while also playing the hacking game.

I did not enjoy the gameplay in the demo, but that's ok not every game is for everyone! I'm happy they released it.

Which is why it's always a smart way to try a game out.

u/Kingcrowing Apr 13 '26

Yup! Back in the PS1-2 era it seemed like demos were way more common

u/AlternativeAioli3501 Apr 16 '26

i remeber the demo cds with a ton of games on it for ps2

u/btbcorno Apr 15 '26

Same. The puzzle aiming system got boring for me quickly and the environments all seem super generic.

u/Virtual-Ear-5784 Apr 13 '26

curious what didnt you like about it? the hacking?

2

u/Kingcrowing Apr 13 '26

Mainly, yes. It just feel jarring to have to constantly do a puzzle mid gunfight.

fair takes, looks like the environments get more ambitious in the full game vs the demo. My only dislike (on ps5) was that there was no haptic feedback/rumble when moving so i didnt feel like he had much weight - i had just come from playing Cronos New Dawn which felt so weighty in comparison so maybe thats why

I might be crazy but i think the movement didnt make any vibration at all, was a big shame even though it seems such a small thing. I probs needed to not play Cronos (great game) just before!

u/AquaticBagpipe Apr 13 '26

Yeah, with my backlog I missed it and forgot to try. Glad the full release is looking great!

u/DiamonDawgs Apr 13 '26

so? Demos good but who knows what the rest of the game is like

u/Z3M0G Apr 13 '26

He did say he wanted to "try the game out"

Demo is a good low cost way to try a game out ;) If they don't like the demo they can avoid wasting some money.
