games like this bring back my love for gaming i completely lost track of time playing
A rare gem that truly shines. Amazing environments, deep customization, top notch VAs, fun gameplay, cool bosses and enemies, meaningful characters & story. Vibes of older Armored Core and Nier, with some Blue Sub No. 6 thrown into the mix. Really hope the devs continue this in some way they have made something really special with this game imo. (9 / 10) Dolls Nest was an awesome playthrough and I highly recommend!
It is a bit rough around the edges but plays great, liked it a lot. Never have thought Nitro+ will start making actual games, but I'm here for it.
