I will still continue playing Scathe, especially in Co-op and I'm interested in what future updates may deliver.

Visuals are great and game runs very smoothly on my machine, there were no bugs or whatsoever in my gameplay so good job on that aspect.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.

Fast-paced and high-stakes, the foundation of Scathe’s combat brings everything you would want from a FPS / Bullet Hell hybrid; just a few hits on Hard are all it takes for you to die, thankfully you have ten lives, each allowing you to respawn on the spot - and trust me, that may seem a lot but it’s not (except in boss fights, where it’s actually excessive); death is fast, brutal and common.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.

The game even has a remarkable quantity of fully-voiced dialogue, a clear indication that this was once a game with a script!
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.

Happy to see that at launch there are very few bugs and glitches that have to be ironed out.
