“played the game since release, and its great! the new DLC is super good too!”
“Bold, wacky, and ambitious, the DLCs are just as good. Trapped in Limbo was fantastic. I’m very much looking forward to the sequel.”
“Even though I don’t like that in the base game you can’t permanently destroy the robot generators, I respect the decision. The art direction of this game deserves an Oscar, the world and robot design is something I had…”

“I wanted to write a much longer review. But I'm gonna keep it short. In essence, the game is decent. Not amazing. Decent. The base game has a lot of issues, from gameplay, to story, to not really having a clear vision of what it wants to be. With the final DLC, I can say that…”

And in that sense, it does its job very well. From the start, what stands out is the world itself. There’s a strong identity here,…”
