Can't wait to see whats to come from this game!… Expand

I can't remember the time i had this much fun playing a video game and right now its only $5.99! It is a nice challenge and a very addicting one at that, and it thoroughly deserves a 10 out of 10 from me. If you are even a little interested in this game pick it up, you wont be disappointed!… Expand

   I have really enjoyed this game because of its style and music and for a game in beta it really works well. The reason it is 9 not 10 isI have really enjoyed this game because of its style and music and for a game in beta it really works well. The reason it is 9 not 10 is because I think it is repetitive after playing many runs but this could be easily fixed in an upcoming patch with new weapons enemies and rooms.… Expand

   Paranautical Activity is basically a 3D copy of The Binding of Isaac, which is a great idea, but not the greatest translation.
   
   The pros areParanautical Activity is basically a 3D copy of The Binding of Isaac, which is a great idea, but not the greatest translation.
   
   The pros are it has a fun, neon art style, reminiscent of Tron. It has a variety of weapons both classic and unusual (such as a shotgun and boomerang sickle). Sometimes you can get interesting combos going with the items you find, though that happens less often here than most roguelikes.
   
   Here are the cons. Firstly, there is something broken with the swivel axis. The point where your mouse movements rotate the player entity is offset from where it normally is in any other FPS. This is unnoticeable if you rotate standing still, but once you rotate while moving (especially while strafing) the angles are all wrong. After a few hours you can get used to it, but once you play a different FPS you'll have to get used to it again.
   
   The items you can pickup are tiny 2D sprites which are easy to miss. When an enemy drops an item upon death, the item does not fall to the ground, so if a flying enemy drops an item you'll see the item floating near the ceiling and you probably won't be able to reach it. Also, picking up loot is more tedious here than The Binding of Isaac because the rooms are larger here and the items are harder to see, even with a small glow.
   
   The weapons are balanced in general, but the bosses aren't. Depending on your weapons some bosses are easy and some are near impossible, and there's no way of knowing ahead of time which bosses you will face.
   
   The enemies have hardly any animation or sound effects, which results in enemies that have far less personality than they could have. This game doesn't have many sound effects in general. Some people like the music, but I felt it didn't fit the game and just was thrown in.
   
   Paranautical Activity has a lot of potential and is sometimes fun, yet it also feels amateurish and unfinished.… Expand

   When I first saw this, I was excited. Then I bought it for myself and a friend because the devs promised co-op. Now they've backed out of itWhen I first saw this, I was excited. Then I bought it for myself and a friend because the devs promised co-op. Now they've backed out of it saying it won't work out, even though they specifically said it was coming and advertised it as multiplayer in many pieces. Devs have been deleting all negative posts on steam, and have been very rude to the audience. Not to mention the game shows a lot of potential, but it will never be reached. The devs have said the next update is the last; all they've shown is garbage. Right now it is bland and repetitive, and the few updates that are 'coming' (if they even come...) are crap. On top of all that, many of the sounds they use in game are licensed on soundcloud under different copyrights, some being that they have to be credited, others being they can't be used at all. The dev doesn't credit any of them and claims they are all entirely legal, which is very clearly false if you look at the discussions page's post about copyright infringement. Ugh.
   TL:DR; Devs are rude, lie, and infringe copyrights. Bland game, likes to leech.… Expand
