I found it really cool how the light around you got smaller the less energy you had. But the robots are really aggressive and because of the \"load time\" of the gun you always had to walk backwards. I don't think it's bad per se, but you have to get used to it. All in all really cool.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Michael Feldman","author_uid":"1036511","time":"2017-08-06T17:20:09Z","epoch":1502040009,"modified":1502040009,"text":"Awesome job building up story at beginning and end. Clear UI and clean graphics make it a very fun play through. I enjoyed the shooting mechanic. The red diamond \/ scope beam plus the heat-up timer and audio, made it feel very interactive.
