What players think
The recurring themes across 94 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I've completed the game in about 1,5h, but there's a ton of replayability and randomness to see.
While slower paced, the game is by no means any less tense or atmospheric, it just does atmosphere in a very different way, with beautifully detailed pixel art for the backdrops, enemies and characters, and amazing lighting work and mechanical design, physics enabled cabling, decrepit space stations that crumble apart around you, sparks, flickering lights, venting pipes and volatile chemical containers littering the structures, all while you traverse wide, sprawling proceedurally generated levels, locating hidden weapon caches, recovering your suit's functionality, and trying to access a mysterious sealed area known only as SYN.

You may think that after 3 years there would be a lot more work done on the game but considering a lot of the work has been redoing all the visuals and sound effects (which are all now stunningly beautiful I might add) then it's pretty much been a VERY productive three years for AK.
For combat and generally moving around they’re pretty good (I played with an Xbox One controller) but they did feel a tad bit clunky for platforming.
