Few months ago Claude was very eager to help.
Nowadays when something can be done with code/cowork, he will give me step by step instructions, pip this and pip that , instead of suggesting to use code/cowork
When Tokens preservation takes precedent, Claude becomes less helpful.

Cut through the noise, and what’s left is a phenomenal, gameplay-first experience. It genuinely feels like a title built by devs who are gamers.

The Strategy Layer (Massive Silent Bomber Vibes)

What stands out immediately is how intentional the gear feels. A lot of modern action games hand you mods and weapons that feel incremental. Here, every weapon and mod twists your strategic approach to a room. It captures that distinct, old-school spatial-puzzle vibe — managing options and positioning in a way that gave me massive flashbacks to Silent Bomber on the original PlayStation.

Room for Improvement

I’m about a quarter of the way through, and it’s a solid 8.5/10 for me so far. It isn’t perfect, though. The balance between hunting for mods and actual fighting feels a little off, and the core combat loop runs a touch slow — I’d want less dead air between beats, and a higher tempo once the action actually kicks in. More rhythm, more frequency.

But if I could change one major thing, it’d be the lack of a high difficulty tier. The combat engine is so articulate that it practically begs for a punishing execution barrier — thin margins, lethal enemies, mistakes that genuinely cost you. I’m not asking for a Sifu- or Returnal-style run-loss loop. What I want is a mode that forces the mechanics to their ceiling. The systems are deep enough to support real mastery, and right now nothing demands it of me.

P.S. Fitting, too, that a game about an AI helping the protagonist had a little AI help of its own.
