It's actually the way that Kirk, you described the combat with the
Hacking and shooting and trying to dodge enemies while at the same time you're doing this hacking mini game with your face buttons.
I think if you haven't played the game, that might sound super overwhelming, but actually in practice, it works really well.
I was shocked to find that it worked.
Actually feels really good and you don't feel completely overwhelmed while you're doing it.
I don't know if it's because they're kind of slowing down the way that the combat is working while you're doing the actual hacking mini games or because you can just kind of dodge and get out of the way and you wind up feeling...
super badass when you actually pull it off because you're kind of you're using two sides of your brain at once it's like you're doing this ultimate multitasking by doing the hacking mini game and also watching your enemies and dodging them and shooting at the same time it feels pretty good and yeah surprisingly just not as overwhelming as I would have expected just I don't know watching gameplay footage of of Bragmata
The developers said they intentionally made it want to seem like AI slapping it.
And then the level design, like you mentioned, the combination of the art direction and the style and the way it all just kind of has this surreal 3D printer feeling.
That combined with the design itself and the 3D design and the way you'll circle back.
One thing that also souls us to your point, Kirk, is the way you'll be exploring one area more.
And then you'll loop around it and wind up back in like the first area you started in, but from a different perspective.
And then you'll be able to kick down a ladder.
I think you mentioned there are shortcuts and stuff like that.
But also just kind of seeing each area from a bunch of different perspectives and being able to kind of locate yourself in proportion to where everything else is.
