They Always Run might feel a bit underwhelming because of its gameplay, but the variety of the situations it offers, its art style and focus on the narrative make it worth your time.
A great game for a boring afternoon, although it has a thrilling story it's dialogue could have been better written and its gameplay could use some polish.
Overall They always run is an intriguing example on modern 2-D platformers. Whilst it has minor problems with some of the platforming it does not take away from the atmosphere and aesthetic this game exudes. Whilst not having the most compelling story being very formulaic and told through long text breaks the combat and graphics more than make up for it.

Sevmediğim türde bir oyun. Random keyden çıktı. Yine de kaliteli bir yapım sayılabilir. Türü sevenler bir bakabilirler...

Я в корне не согласен с оценкой сюжета,ведь он есть,повороты интересные,не то что во многих проектах подобного жанра.Игра чуствуеться отлично,с остановками и перерываниями во время битв нету.Конешно в игре есть 2 минуса: 1.Диалоги - согласен они не идеальны,можно было бы сделать и больше 2.Механика 3-ей руки - согласен управлять ней в корне не удобно, но я лично считаю, что этот недостаток вполне обьясняют в финале. Игра хорошая,увы считаю оценку слегка заниженой

A surprisingly enjoyable (and challenging) 2D “sci-fi + western” action-platform with a quite original three-armed mutant bounty hunter protagonist.

Лучшый платформар за последнее время смесь чего-то с чем-то. Стиль и визуал на высоте. С управлением напортачили, не сразу въедешь с гарпуном. Но в целом красивая подача истории, да еще и неожиданный поворот!

Великолепная игра с крутым визуальным стилем и геймплеем. Очень классные уровни и приятная боёвка. Сюжет очень хороший с классными персонажами. Надеюсь на продолжение, на которое дан намёк в конце игры

A pleasing genre mix that makes for a solid platformer with an engaging story that you’ll want to see through to the end.

Ultimately, They Always Run has a lot going on for it. Its combat mechanics are delightfully complex enough to provide satisfying gameplay, and its gorgeous aesthetics make every second screenshot-worthy. However, the numerous bugs, uninspired platforming and lacklustre story make for a frustrating experience. The combat and art may make these worth it, but a couple of major patches would make the game much more enjoyable.

They Always Run gives the impression of a proof of concept that didn’t have the time or resources to fully materialize in a complete and finalized game. As it stands the combat is very static and devoid of energy, with just glimpses of a more exciting choreography, the story comes extremely abruptly to a (non) finale, and the audio is entirely lackluster.

Feels like a 90s sidescrolling action-platformer from the snes and genesis days injected with features like upgrades and exploration rewards that we enjoy in modern games. The core gameplay loop is solid and the plop has genuinely interesting, however the game can feel rather short and just when the level design really starts getting interesting, the game is over. I look forward to see where the team and this game are going, as it stands now I would say the game is worth a play

Tons of style and interesting combat, but the game is ruined by very poor movement controls. The character turns and run in a weird way, kinda sluggish and unresponsive, doing things like not stopping immediately and such. There's also no animation cancel, which makes the combat more frustrating than it should be. This makes the whole experience quite frustrating and miserable. If they fix this movement problem with a patch, the game will be good. As it is, it's not recommended.
