“Dead Bits pros: //modern day graphics cons: //difficult controls (glitchy movement/precision problems) //losing is a grindfest (backtracking and all enemies respawn) //a lot of difficult platforming //some lack of directions/instructions…”
4 h played
“Right into criticisms: No working pause menu or button. No quick restart, you must endure the death cutscene then load in from the main menu. Aiming reticle does nothing, gun simply aims right ahead at all times. Heavy platforming focus…”
