This is a masterpiece. It is a love letter to Silent Hill in the best ways possible, and I feel like I've been permanently damaged emotionally by this game.

Remember Our Promise.

Tentatively, this is now a positive review. We win the Major Order, soldiers, but the war never ends.

Now, bring back the game to stores in those 170 countries or whatever the number is that you pulled it from so new Helldivers may play it.

Some day, we'll be free again. Until then, keep shooting.

It's like Factorio, but not mean.

This game is an underrated gem. It's made by the studio that brought us Dishonored. Why did this game get gutted by reviews?

This is a no good, bad videogame. The gameplay is boring and repetitive. The story is uninspired and linear. All sense of good athmosphere goes out the window with peasantry commenting on national politics and the French Inquisition being a thing at all, let alone how it is portrayed.
The developers took an intense, apocalyptic, dystopian setting of Black Death era Europe and felt that it was not sufficiently interesting so the plague and rats are magic. Brilliant.
4/10, at least it's short.

Do you like card games? Do you like good music? Great stories? Awesome characters?
This is the best card battler ever made.
Comparing it to Slay the Spire, StS is like playing a calculated, slow, challenging game of chess against a worthy opponent while classical music plays in the background.
Library of Ruina is like playing ten simultaneous games of chess, while the world around is on fire, the rules on every board are different, your opponents want to kill you and flay your skin, and there's the band from Titanic playing the coolest banger music ever.
You can also put your friends in this game and use them as pawns in your battles, which is a feature transient (is that the right word?) from Lobotomy Corporation.
The story and setting are dark, and has really unsettling and disturbing tones and themes, also deals with heavy emotional baggage and ponders on a lot of really philosophical questions. Like, it's really dark. Cannibalism is a fact of life for many, the streets are full of psychos and the government is essentially a corporate dictatorship. If you're into dystopian cyberpunk style settings, also do check it out.
GOTY 2021 for sure, helped me rediscover my love for brain equivalent of C&BT.
Oh, and if you've played Lobotomy Corporation, just buy and play this, what are you waiting for?..

I hate this game with a passion, but I come back to it nonetheless, because ultimately, this is the only game where you can really fix all the garbage decisions historical leaders of the time made.

It's still quite alright.
