I just sold the red devastation to the highest bidder. It didn't seem like greater evil than killing these poor smiling aliens on Calliope. I also got the references, got cocky and tried to test my might and rigthfully got put into to shame.
The presentation is stellar, I love the arstyle including the UI elements, it's super consistent and they're quite some details in the context. These alien worlds feel alien and are all the more exciting to explore because of that. They're some quite nice tunes too. Then the game is incredibly pleasant to control, everything feels so smooth and you can walk as fast as you want to. Combat is super well presented and doesn't waste your time, equipment progression is satisfying and the enemies you need to come back later on to defeat enhance this.
If anything there could be more than one way to spend your money, which could be either different upgrades and/or consumables to choose from.
You created a fantastic entry once again, congratulations to the team.
