Apr 17, 2020Wonderful game if you are into this genre and looking for a game Hotline Miami-like. The atmosphere and soundtrack is cyberpunk pretty much.
-
Oct 7, 2017Dynamic gameplay and a great soundtrack. Stylization of cyberpunk, aggressive red tones. Merciless level of complexity. I think this game is a breath of air in the game industry. I love it so much!

Sep 27, 2017The perfect cyberpunk adventure you are looking for. The shooting feels great, the difficulty is well balanced and there is even an Easy Mode for you wimps out there.
Art Music Combat Story all blend perfectly. Only problem I have with this game is that i want MOAR of it! -
Dec 12, 2020Love the atmosphere of this game, good OST and good gameplay, especially when fights get so chaotic that it can become hard to tell what is going on, but the BRUTALITY and MAYHEM on display is awesome. This is a true Cyberpunk world and experience, unlike CyberGarbage 2077 made by CDPRekt.

Apr 17, 2020Got it for free on Epic games, finished and then bought it on steam to give them some $$. Then signed up to metacritic to rate it (since steam wouldn't let me) - should tell you how great it was.
Great atmosphere, art, fast past and hard yet not frustrating combat. Pumping soundtrack that goes with the theme and feel perfectly. Only downside is a little short. -
Jul 19, 2020Pros:
+ superb soundtrack
+ unique artstyle
+ responsive controls
+ balanced difficulty
+ creative combat abilities
Cons:
- health bar should be displayed near the character
- screen can get cluttered at times
- no sound effect on cutscenes
- convoluted story ending -
Oct 12, 2017Tough but fair game play that gives you a great feeling when you figure out each fight's answer, GREAT soundtrack, hits the tone of the game right on the head and sounds like nothing else. The characters and the world had a lot of effort put into them but it is the sound and visuals that carry this game forward. Audio: 9 Visuals: 8 Gameplay: 8

May 9, 2018Pros:
-Well paced. Breaks between intense fights helps a lot.
-Cool story even if a little on bare side.
-The hubworld is cool to walk around even if there isn't much to do
-Easy to get into. Difficulty on normal is right where I like it.
Cons:
-The way the game constantly reminds you of the mission is overbearing.
-Absence of voice acting makes some parts feel flat. -

Sep 28, 2018Ruiner is a solid twin stick shooter with amazing visuals. This is one of a very few games where i actually finished New Game+.
Gameplay is fun, challenging and satisfying, there a lot of weapons and upgrades to use and most of them are very impactful and distinct.
Main drawback for me was the story: it is very vague and doesn't make much sense. -

May 27, 2018Fantastic soundtrack and great weapon design are the highlights of this cyberpunk action game. With cool upgrades the game motivates you to keep going as well but the level design is more than a bit repetitive. And the great style is let down by the boring and very obvious story.

Sep 26, 2021This is a great shooter that is well worth your time due to the amount of fun and adrenaline it produces.
Despite this, the score isn't higher because although the length is short it still somehow manages to overstay its welcome by a bit

Game World Navigator MagazineMar 2, 2018A game that’s far more pleasing to look at than to actually play. [Issue#226, p.67]
-
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Feb 16, 2018Cyberpunk enjoyment full of blood and decadence. An audio-visual feast goes hand in hand with a sophisticated gameplay, which detracts only more or less negligible problems. [Issue#279]

Feb 8, 2018Ruiner is a fun and fast twin stick shooter that ends all too soon and leaves you asking way too many questions.
