  1. Questa montagna è tale,
    Che sempre al cominciar di sotto è grave,
    E quanto uom più va su e men fa male.
    – DANTE: Il Purgatorio

    Purgatorio, IV. 88–90: ‘This mountain is so formed that it is always wearisome when one begins the ascent, but becomes easier the higher one climbs.'

    Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) - Illustration by Gustave Dore (1832-1883))

    #Ruiner is a #cyberpunk isometric twin-stick shooter. I'm playing with keyboard & mouse. I've got a bit of a thing for cyberpunk themed games. I picked this one up in the #HumbleBundle April 2018.

    I didn't read up on it before jumping in, and I'd forgotten everything about it. You're dropped straight into the action, with the prologue running you through the controls. Having not read up first, this meant the prologue twist took me by surprise.

    It's very polished, with a good cyberpunk feel. Critically, for an isometric game, it gets movement with the WASD keys "right", something that another isometric cyberpunk game, #TheAscent, does not.

    I'm giving it an initial rating of:

    4: Good.
