A furious shout at the hypercapitalism currently infesting our society has created one of the year’s most compelling video games. Cruelty Squad completely reinvents the FPS playbook, introducing plenty of new ideas under a neon-flecked haze of dystopian aesthetics.
Make no mistake, this game is the definition of niche appeal. Its visuals are ugly in a way that is not just visually repellent but deeply unsettling. Its world and lore are in turn, confusing, disturbing, and sickening. Playing its soundtrack above a certain decibel level probably constitutes a war crime. Yet the game demands attention all the same. It's brilliant, disturbing, and endlessly fascinating. I'm painfully aware that not everyone will love Cruelty Squad as much as I do, but those that love it will love it with abandon. For me, it's a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

I’m not even sure if I enjoyed it, I just couldn’t look away. It’s like being trapped in a burning circus; it’s a little terrifying, but you can’t help enjoying yourself. There’s something awe-inspiring about having all these terrible little facets come together into a cohesive package. So, I guess I recommend playing it?
Will you enjoy Cruelty Squad? I don’t know. It’s a hard game to recommend. It feels like it rips mechanics wholesale out of slick, satisfying shooters like the old Rainbows Six, Deus Ex, or Hitman. Except it’s also intentionally opaque, refusing to lend players a hand in deciphering its visuals or navigating its oppressive atmosphere. And yet, I’m still here gnawing on this coconut, because the pain is worth the taste of that delicious joy.
Deliberate efforts creatie that same feeling require a certain vision and vitality to not feel hollow by comparison. Cruelty Squad kept me clicking, and I might click on it some more. I just don’t feel the need, as others have, to rush to the Steam reviews and write a piece of abstract microfiction about it.
Ganhei esse jogo de presente de um amigo, e é aquele tipo de jogo que eu jamais jogaria se não fosse um presente. Ja que olhando a sua pagina na loja não deixa a gente muito motivado a comprar ele, mas em poucas horas eu percebi que estava completamente imerso no universo sujo e violento do jogo, jogabilidade excelente e muito variada, com inúmeras armas, implantes e equipamentos para usar( da até pra usar o intestino como uma garra ''ala'' Just Cause), que acaba dando valor ao fator replay,eu fiz e refiz as fazes de inúmeras formas diferentes, combinei varias armas e implantes e me diverti muito testando novas formas de passar as fazes.
Tudo no jogo é completamente sujo, desde os menus até os cenários, e não que seja mal feito, ele é tudo propositalmente feio e levanta vários questionamentos sobre a degradação **** o jogo é realmente mais profundo do que parece.

The game is unique in a sea of boomer shooters. More similar to Deus Ex than those types of games, but also significantly better.
