It's Oblibvion, except it's a bloody Frankenstein's Monster running on Unreal 5 with entire game logic of TES4 running virtualized on top of Unreal.

Old game code running on new and shiny engine with new graphical assets and old janky randomized conversations makes the remastered version of Cyrodiil a somewhat jarring experience. Since it's old code it's got most of the old jank still in it, though some of the more gamebreaking stuff has been fixed.

Don't get me wrong, it's a masterpiece in ReMakeMastering and bordering on black magic to get this running as well as it it. Though, pricepoint should have been a bit lower.

Some textures feel like AI upscaled at the very least if not outright AI generated, store page does not diclose use of generative AI but considering the state of industry and Bethesda being run by psychos at M$ it's not hard to imagine a requirement of precentage of GenAI use comming from the top to Virtuos who actually worked on this.

Be The RoboCop. A marvelous love letter to the movie frachise. Not the best game in any area but nails the atmosphere and does justice to the source material. Solid AA-game.

From the same team who brought us Terminator: Resistance, a Terminator game done right.

Kill The Crows, or die trying.

Either the game is way too hard or yours truly sucks...and I do suck big time...okay it's not quite that simple.

Game has a rhythm that takes few tries to get down...every-time one launches the game. Few rounds of amateurish deaths that humiliate, then the near perfect run that comes out of nowhere, and with one or two kills left one screws up a simple dodge and gets gutted or blown up by a Crow, wiping away all progress and making the next round be shortest yet, smearing the shame to player's face. Best moments are when one settles into Zen-state, hitting 100% of shots without watching the screen edges.

Game's protagonist Isabella is beyond hard-boiled, enemies are at times (well, actually they feel like) straight up BS but they make painting the town red so darn satisfying. Unlocks are gear that vary up the game-play loop that you get with completed challenges. Chibi-Isabella bloody adorable in the news updates, not that it is really a selling point for the game but...

Price is right in my opinion, you can do so much worse for the money.

As it says on the tin, Kill The Crows, that's not hard. The hard part is not getting Killed By Crows.

TL/DR:
Player's worst enemy is themselves, not the maniacs running towards Isabella. Infuriating and satisfying. Writing a review is hard. Game is the Dark Souls of pixel-top-down-arena-shooters. PLAY IT AND PREPARE TO DIE.
