    Ruiner has a lot in common with other top-down action games but blends bits of all of them into a uniquely demanding, satisfying shooter.

    A powerfully grim, fleet-footed cyberpunk action odyssey that is caught in the spell of its own nihilism.

    Video game is like porn sometimes: It's not about the story, it's about the pleasure.

    This game is fun overall but unrewarding at times.

    - Story
    Too many loose threads in the story. Some parts are nonsensical. If girl is not under control of boss then why trust her? Boss always look for power except on this one?
    Akira and Evangelion were better at symbolism in stories. They should have studied them instead of banally recombining the artistic scheme. Still a good effort. I liked it.
