00:00:11.750 --> 00:00:16.900
good morning evening afternoon and
salutations folks it's I

00:00:16.904 --> 00:00:18.554
Michael Burhan

00:00:18.554 --> 00:00:21.594
as I bring to you an amazing episode of

00:00:21.594 --> 00:00:25.694
the awesome A Rather British review and yes

00:00:25.694 --> 00:00:28.974
of course you can see me live in person
isn't that snappy

00:00:28.974 --> 00:00:31.494
I'm trying somethingnew today as I also

00:00:31.494 --> 00:00:36.324
try something new
with an amazing game that allows me to

00:00:36.324 --> 00:00:38.834
take out my qualms and problems of
everybody else

00:00:38.834 --> 00:00:42.834
and if you like the cyberpunk genre
you're going to love this

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:42.834 --> 00:00:45.684
awesome, awesome game it rhymes

00:00:45.684 --> 00:00:48.584
with what i exactly
say to a girlfriend last week, you know

00:00:48.584 --> 00:00:54.834
the term I'm gonna ruin her get it ruin
because the game's called ruin

00:00:54.834 --> 00:00:58.834
[crickets]

00:00:58.834 --> 00:00:59.984
yeaahhh

00:00:59.984 --> 00:01:03.984
ruiner is a top-down shooter developed
by recon games and published by devolver

00:01:03.984 --> 00:01:07.984
digital for Microsoft Windows Mac OS
Linux ps4 and Xbox one systems

00:01:07.984 --> 00:01:12.784
ruiner gives you that old cyberpunk charm
reminiscent of the old days of Hideo

00:01:12.784 --> 00:01:15.524
Kojima and the game mechanics that
feature a run-and-gun

00:01:15.524 --> 00:01:19.474
overhead system which you can collect
items and go along to use for limited

00:01:19.474 --> 00:01:23.524
amounts of time the game's main weapon
means that you get to shoot an unlimited

00:01:23.524 --> 00:01:27.524
amount of ammo so there's no big case of
you overshooting your load

00:01:29.163 --> 00:01:32.243
[sigh] who writes this sh...

00:01:32.243 --> 00:01:36.243
gun drops are plentiful and you can find
some rare finds littered throughout each

00:01:36.243 --> 00:01:40.243
level as you succumb to your innermost
desires of killing hordes of enemies

00:01:40.243 --> 00:01:44.243
each level consists of simple puzzles
that you can move through a delay of

00:01:44.243 --> 00:01:48.243
your time that give you a chance to
migrate from one level to the next

00:01:48.243 --> 00:01:52.243
via boss fights you can find XP chest from each level location that's gives you

00:01:52.243 --> 00:01:56.243
a chance to level up for your character
and give you more and more abilities

00:01:56.243 --> 00:02:00.243
such as longer dash, slowing down time and
continuous costs of energy to allow you

00:02:00.243 --> 00:02:04.243
to guard better when confronted by
enemies the biggest issue is the amount

00:02:04.243 --> 00:02:09.033
of time it takes to get through out
hordes of these enemies some boss

00:02:09.033 --> 00:02:12.243
battles take a lot more time to get
through, as they require a hard set of

00:02:12.243 --> 00:02:16.243
skills to proceed as you complete each
level you get more exposition of the

00:02:16.243 --> 00:02:22.383
story which unfolds of a beautiful and
animative scenes and also anime infused

00:02:22.383 --> 00:02:26.383
art styles that gives the game a lot
more charm and pizzazz so to speak a lot

00:02:26.383 --> 00:02:30.383
of Easter eggs can be found within the
game looking into various films and

00:02:30.383 --> 00:02:34.383
gaming medium references won't be
spoiled here but they are fun to say the

00:02:34.383 --> 00:02:38.383
least
now Ruiner has more of a diverse style

00:02:38.383 --> 00:02:42.383
as your protagonist doesn't really talk but
you can see the mood changes depending

00:02:42.383 --> 00:02:46.383
on what you see on the headset and gives
the player a chance to understand the

00:02:46.383 --> 00:02:50.383
narrative a lot more by the text and
exposition in the game the biggest con

00:02:50.383 --> 00:02:56.043
of this game however is the short length
of playtime most digital only indie

00:02:56.043 --> 00:03:01.633
titles have kind of the same issue apart
from the fact that it does have an

00:03:01.633 --> 00:03:05.343
in-game plus mode that allows you to play it on a harder difficulty you also

00:03:05.343 --> 00:03:10.443
have a bleak dystopian kind of narrative
that goes with the game as well

00:03:10.443 --> 00:03:13.533
especially as you see with the
style and as you see with the character

00:03:13.533 --> 00:03:18.393
narrative it does make this game
extremely depressing so you are warned

00:03:18.393 --> 00:03:22.393
if you have a medical condition or
anything where you are suffering and

00:03:22.393 --> 00:03:27.328
battling with depression I may take this
game in spurts so you don't play through

00:03:27.328 --> 00:03:30.598
the entire thing and end up bumming
yourself out for a week so if you're

00:03:30.598 --> 00:03:34.598
familiar with the show's scores we go
from best to worst as five being the

00:03:34.598 --> 00:03:41.858
best and one being the worst I give this
game a charming 3 if recon ever

00:03:41.858 --> 00:03:46.108
decide to make a sequel hopefully we
will get a lot more bang for our buck

00:03:46.108 --> 00:03:50.108
seeing the game is $15.99 in most stores
it doesn't really give you that term of

00:03:50.108 --> 00:03:55.588
value something that's not seeing in
terms of triple-a titles the one thing I

00:03:55.588 --> 00:03:59.588
can say about ruiner if you're willing to
pay that money however is that it can be

00:03:59.588 --> 00:04:03.588
a very good short game that you can play
until you get your next Triple A title

00:04:03.588 --> 00:04:07.588
and something where you want to kind of
explore with such as Zelda breath of the

00:04:07.588 --> 00:04:11.588
wild but if you really don't want to
play that amount I would wait until this

00:04:11.588 --> 00:04:16.728
game comes out on PlayStation Plus or
Xbox Live Gold or you can also wait

00:04:16.728 --> 00:04:21.928
until that various Steam sales or
playstation of hot sales that you go

00:04:21.928 --> 00:04:25.928
through to basically get the game at a
cheaper price point if you are looking

00:04:25.928 --> 00:04:31.068
to buy it and add it to your collection
limited run games did do a rather limited

00:04:31.068 --> 00:04:35.068
run with the title so that you could get
physical copies for me I don't really

00:04:35.068 --> 00:04:40.068
see the point of it it's it is what it
is that's it from me you gorgeous people

00:04:40.068 --> 00:04:44.068
