Deadlink is a fantastic cyberpunk roguelike FPS. If you've ever played Isaac, Hades, Dead cells, Risk of Rain, Enter the Gungeon etc etc. Imagine that but an FPS. There's multiple zones and each zone is split into rooms. You enter the room, blast everything in sight and then move to the next room, with each zone having maybe 7-8 rooms and a boss at the end.

What I think really sets Deadlink apart though is the intensity, graphical style and awesome sound effects and music. Being honest, Deadlink isn't easy; from the get-go there's a lot of enemy spawns that damage you very quickly, stop moving and you'll be dead in a few seconds. I probably wouldn't recommend this to those who haven't played a good number of FPS's before, Doom and Doom Eternal are probably the most similar. While playing you also unlock 'implants' after most rooms - a variety of different buffs from enhancing your gun, movement or abilities. While this system starts out a bit shallow (and I wasn't sure about it at first), play a few runs and Deadlink starts to open up and massively builds upon these systems, giving you more interesting and more powerful implants, and allowing you to level them up.

The gunplay feels awesome, every single gun feels incredibly impactful and enemies fly across the screen or get chopped to bits if you can hit accurately and consistently. The bosses are also some of the coolest bosses I've genuinely ever fought in an FPS game, especially the 2nd and 3rd boss which have awesome dialogue and seem to remain challenging even after you've learnt their entire move-set by heart. The music is also great and makes me feel like a super badass while dashing around headshotting enemies in mid air.

The only complaints I'd really have is I wish there was a bit more stuff! It does take a while to get through each zone and especially the first few times, the next zone feels crazy hard, so getting all the way to the end is really challenging. Buuut.. with how good the bosses and enemies are, I can't help but wish there was more of them! If this game releases a DLC maybe with a couple more zones, bosses and/or routes to take, I'd be the first to buy it!
