The verdict
A linear bug-shooter with fun destruction, repair powers and a great magnet gun, but a weak story and a big step down from Guerrilla. Skip it if you want open-world chaos or hate crashes.
Great for
Players wanting a cheap, brainless sci-fi shooter with destruction, a magnet gun and varied weapons
Main risk
Crashes and a linear, repetitive cave campaign nothing like open-world Guerrilla
What players love
Magnet gun and varied weapons
