It's a fun game also, for what it's worth. Very much a bioshock-esque game, and very visually pretty. I'm digging the world too, I almost never listen to extraneous in-game lore but this fake world really pulled me in. Put quite a few hours into it last night, and it works wonderfully on linux too.
I've watched Synth streaming it, he complains about the combat and some monster choices but I really like the esthetics and, if I'm not wrong, it looks to be very much anti-communism in their messaging.
I could see the story unfolding that way for sure, I really like how their society mirrors ours in so many ways with the obsessions of progress, science, transhumanism, and equality.
To be fair to him, the combat is a bit iffy. It's been said before, but a big part of it is the limited field of view. Many of the enemies move really quickly, and with the low FoV they basically disappear off-screen. It's manageable with a single enemy but you're basically fucked against two or more.
So I get you are a fan of that libtard Mauler, what a fucking leftist idiot that one is.
I never said he complained it was hard, his complains are about design, like quick time events, poorly designed encounters, some monsters being mechanically uninteresting and some weapons being bland or week.
If you watched him rather very disingenuous hit piece you would have noticed his criticisms of modern games vs older games he did like are spot on. Yes he got a few things wrong in Ragnarok but he was correct for 80% of that review and he even addressed the things he got wrong in a different video.
Plus it's the ONE game that didn't get released half broken and unplayable due to performance issues. HL fixed it pretty quick, Wild Hearts seems to still suffer(recently hit mostly negative too on steam).

Utopian world of robotics basically being the proto-Borg Collective and suddenly going out of control? Yeah, definitely anti-commie.
Synth is shit at playing games so I don't doubt he complains about combat
