A solid enough game, i greatly enjoyed the brutalist setting. I enjoyed navigating some of the areas but felt others dragged in ways that made me want to quit. Common enemy variety is whatever. I could take or leave them as it feels like they only exist to give you something to kill or augment your movement, they are never threatening and while death is only a minor setback, it's still obnoxious. Music is ok, it's not bad but nothing about it made me take notice. The camera being an actual physical entity is novel, but i wish they did a little more with it. Like using Orbie as a projectile to hit an out of range switch or being able to "detach" from P to plot a route or just go sightseeing. Extra points if your perspective goes wherever P threw the camera. The writing for the setting has potential but feels like a lot of dressing for an average gameplay experience. While i find P attractive, some of the horniness with some of the side chats a little off putting. Some of its funny, some of it isn't. Some of it's appealing, some of it isn't. It's a matter of personal taste and it felt like a coin flip. The boss fights were cool but some of them became obnoxious because occasionally after P dies, she'll "snap" awake, which is fine on occasion when traversing areas, but annoying when it happens after getting smooshed by a boss and it happened everytime. Though it only seemed to happen to me for the back-hoe boss so it might have been a glitch. A great game for the price and i largely enjoyed my time with it. But if it was above $40 id be pretty insulted.
