"You've chosen to reject your humanity"
I found 9 upgrades in my first run, a few less when I reached for the second ending.
The game is thrilling. The visuals are great and the music is phenomenal. The game feels specially great to control, the gunplay is super satisfying and the use of the perspective a fun twist on it, the enemies dying in two hits is perfect. There's an upgrade in every corner and the alternative ending is the icing on the cake.
I guess the drawback to adding the second ending is that the game is easier than I would have preferred when playing the regular way, I can make it harder by rushing more but it feels forced.
If I remember right last year you got only 4 stars from me because there was no combat, so this time you get the 5 ;) , thanks for sharing !
