I still do not think i can recomend this game. Visually its perfect, good graphics, cool vibes, unmatched atmosphere of dystopian cyberpunk, good immersive soundtrack. The artstyle is incredibly on point, this game has a style.
But gameplay wise its bad, sometimes horrible. Controls are clunky, dash mechanic is stubborn, a lot of vusial noise, sometimes unfair enemy placements. Not to say you dont know how much damage you doing, how much your weapons supposed to do, coldowns on abilities are weird, no handoff on what abilities do to certain enemy types, can of worms about bosses and on and on.
So you are on rollercoaster of "this game feels great" to "this expirience is truly miserable"
Also there is still some inconsistencies. Like some visual bugs, inconsistent cutscenes and bandaids
Buy on your own risk, i reccomend to firstly play on easy and normal. Only move to hard and NG+ when you have enough expirience with game and its skillset.

Impressive fast-paced, Top-Down Shooter with high adrenaline gameplay, for people who love fast reflex action gameplay. Skills that make you extremely overpowered end game if you use them right, for every kind of situation. Story takes place in a futuristic cyberpunk world, with decent graphical enviroment, ugly tech atmosphere and soundtracks that rocks.
I absolutely enjoyed every fight of this game and i totally recommend it to any Top-Down-Shooter Enthusiast, it's not a classic and abilities make the gameplay amazing experience.
The only negative for me, was the level of cringiness that co-protagonist does whenever you end up a fight. A character that looks like D.Va from overwatch doing cringy poses after a long gameplay fight doesn't really suits on the game imo.

Awesome 5 hour playthrough. This is a pretty unique game with its really cool cyberpunk aesthetic. At times it gives Blade Runner & Ghost in the Shell vibes. Plenty of good boss fights. I recommend playing with a controller and completing the playthrough in a single session.

RUINER gets a very good 7,5 of 10 from me.
And I claim that - for only 2 Euro/Dollar right now - Ruiner even is a "must buy" right now:
Ruiner has nice looking graphics while being not too demanding, it is a 2017 game.
The art design and style are really well done, it really nails the cyberpunk aesthetic.
The soundtrack is fire.
It has fast and satisfying gameplay plus replayability.
Ruiner is challenging while respecting your gaming time.

Badass game. Combat and character ability progression is super satisfying first of all. Plenty of abilities to upgrade and easily swap in and out to fit different playstyles. Very rewarding kill animations as well. On top of that, the music, characters, and overall world is extremely cool. If you're into dystopian cyberpunk themes, this one will put a smile on your face. Story is pretty predictable but the characters are what make it really fun. Highly recommend it.
