What players say
Players praise the unique puzzle mechanic of routing power to open doors, but many find the early hours boring or a drag. The map shows rooms only upon entry, making backtracking for collectibles frustrating. Controls are tight and megaman-like, with varied bosses and extensive character customization options.
