Ruiner Reviews
RUINER is going to be a cult classic cyberpunk game. From incredibly tense combat to unforgettable atmosphere, it’s a title you’re going to love
If you want a healthy dose of style and don't mind potentially rage quitting every now and then when faced with a boss battle then this should be right up your alley.
Devolver Digital hits the target one more time. Ruiner is a really solid game, with great personality and gameplsy.

Despite a bit of a hurdle when it comes to difficulty at the beginning, Ruiner is quite the addictive action game, one with a lot of variety in its combat that packs a lot of experimentation into a small package.
Ruiner is a dizzying affair in combat, offering tons of things for players to consider as music pounds their senses. However, a lack of weapon impact, fights that often feel too similar, and a lifeless world takes away from its appeal.
And I love it. BUY GAME.
If you're into high-action, challenging games and / or anything cyberpunk, do yourself a favor and just buy Ruiner.
If you are a fan of top-down twin-stick games, Ruiner is for you. It's not perfect, but it's flaws are easily overlooked in favor of this cyberpunk dystopia. The gameplay is where it's at. Mapping dash points, dashing around and ruining your enemies with the tools you are given. It's short, not too sweet, and generally worth a play.
It's surprisingly fun. Just don't play it in Handheld mode, where you'll be struggling to see things (the Joy-Con sticks aren't necessarily up to the task, either). I will say there's a plot twist that could not have been more telegraphed, which was a little disappointing, but this isn't a game you're playing for depth of story. Ruiner is a good time and is definitely worth trying.
Ruiner is a fantastic addition to your Switch library and definitely worth your time.
Ruiner is a competent top down sci-fi shooter that boasts an emphasis on difficultly, but a lacking in story. The gameplay sells it, for sure, just don't be shocked when the plot doesn't draw you in.
RUINER is a great game. Its excellent visuals & amazing soundtrack create an engaging atmosphere and combat is exciting & fast-paced. But unfortunately, its brutal difficulty & linear, combat-focused gameplay might discourage some players from continuing the game

Does your heart beat faster when you hear “neon”, “cyberpunk”, and “hardcore” in one sentence? Then you definitely should give RUINER a shot.

It's quite a slick and accomplished title that won't win any awards for its visual aesthetic, story or the way the game plays, but it does deliver exactly what it says on the tin, and doesn't apologize for the difficulty setting that's thrown at you.
RUINER is a purebread action game with breathtaking visual and sound design.

Over-the-top and frequently overwhelming, Ruiner might be the first cyberpunk game to give an inkling of what it'd be like to have a deluge of sensory stimuli downloaded directly into your head. A guilty pleasure, and a damn good twin-stick shooter to boot.
Ruiner's budget presentation does little to sully what is otherwise a challenging, addictive and sublime twin-stick shooter experience.
Ultra violent and very entertaining, Ruiner is quite an achievement. Not only does the game offer a meaty challenge, it doesn't bore and frustrate players with wave after wave of minions; each level is filled with just enough action to keep them invested. Some aspects aren't quite as polished as they could be but, again, a great soundtrack makes everything better. The effects could have also been dialled back a tad, but otherwise its inspired art direction is really impressive. On the merits of its presentation alone, this cyberpunk thriller deserves a look. Of course, it certainly helps that the rest of the game is solid, as well.
Ruiner is a fast-paced and hectic twin-stick game with an interesting cyberpunk setting and solid gameplay mechanics that come together to offer a fun experience.
