    'Enter the Gungeon' would be a fantastic game if it weren't for one awful game mechanic, that being that there is always a slight margin of error when aiming your gun, meaning that if you shoot five bullets while holding the right stick in the same direction, those five bullets will go slightly different directions. That mechanic might be fine for a game that's meant to mirror reality to'Enter the Gungeon' would be a fantastic game if it weren't for one awful game mechanic, that being that there is always a slight margin of error when aiming your gun, meaning that if you shoot five bullets while holding the right stick in the same direction, those five bullets will go slightly different directions. That mechanic might be fine for a game that's meant to mirror reality to some extent, but, for a skill-based, bullet hell, dungeon crawler, it's an absolute game-breaker.

    (Note that this mechanic is independent of the "Aim Assist" feature. It happens regardless of the level of "Aim Assist" you select.)

    For the most part, the other parts of the game are solid. I love the artistic style, the gun puns, the bosses (well, the six or so that I fought), the subtle nods to other games (e.g. the guy that's like the Crestfallen Warrior at the entrance to the tutorial level), and the amount of challenge, which would be just right if I could just aim my bullets correctly.

    For those that haven't played the game yet, just imagine how frustrating it would be to try to play 'The Binding of Isaac' if your tears were always shot in slightly different directions then you intended.    … Expand

    With an awesome action rogue like gameplay and a lot of content and secrets to discover, Enter The Gungeon is one of the most successful games published by Devolver Digital.

    A charmingly exuberant blend of punishing roguelike convention and gleeful blasting. [June 2016, p.81]
