    The survival dynamic in a hostile ecosystem makes Bioframe Outpost a Metroidvania with its own personality and many challenges, but it doesn't help pacing a progression that is sometimes laborious and confusing, and that also lacks key moments and climaxes to break the monotony. Therefore, what we have is an approach that, in trying to execute its own idea, ends up being more geared towards niche players who are curious and patient.
