their core gameplay feels really, really good. It's rare that I come across an indie game that has its gunplay locked in like this game does. It actually feels really, really nice to play.

dark watch is probably one of the most unique shooting games ever made and I do think that's worth praising it's the result of a game coming out during a period when the industry was just rife with creative and inventive titles
