Even in Early Access, Psycho Patrol R is one of my favorite games in a while, but most people I've talked to don't know what it *is*. The answer: a hilarious, euro-septic, bureaucratic mech combat/immersive sim about our hopeless future. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/psycho-patro... - ThreadSky

Cruelty Squad is a game that to me still portrays the most "realistic" version of a cyberpunk dystopia, one where instead of things being cool everything is unpleasant and confusing, so I'm super excited to check this out

Yeah, this one feels more focused on the collapse of managerial liberalism in an increasingly degenerate world. It feels so appropriate for this exact moment.

Finally a game about the EU 🇵🇱

Really good article, but one thing my brain never really thought of was “is this even FUCKING normal?” because the violence, degeneracy, and general crushing darkness of the in-game world is so incredibly normalized.

My rule of never buying early access remains I say to myself repeatedly

It's unfair to say what Psycho Patrol R is going to be, it is unfinished, but as the foundation of something eternal that's on par with good literature the bones are all there. Part LSD: Dream Emulator, part Finn-coded EU Mecha American Psycho. I had a total blast, and I'm excited to revisit it.

This is a great piece, thank you for writing. Been curious about this game for awhile. Also

I have had this exact thought in my early 20s lol

i'm playing through cruelty squad and it's awesome there's so much life to it. debating whether to pick up psycho patrol r now or wait for release

cruelty squad in its current form is incredibly dense and you wont get that experience from psycho patrol r right now, but if you want more of the devs writing and a new cool 3d world to look around its great, i dont think im gonna complete the game until its at least a bit further along development

papapishu.bsky.social•1 day ago

For early access there's a lot of game there even now, I'm excited to see what it gets built into.

So what you're telling me is it should have a steam bundle with The Sea Will Claim Everything
