It needed to be said, lol.
Saying that, this game reminds me of a Tron FPS or something.

Looks like a load of fun, different too. I might have to pick this up for the PC.

It was okay. Wondering how well they could make it control, especially the challenges where you do everything as quick as possible.

I put 20+ hours into the game on PC. 4 on the campaign (which is more of a fun extended tutorial wih a narratice), 16 on the various modes and arenas. That's where the meat of the game is
This is promising because I thought it was meant to just be 2 hours long? Which I didn't think was worth the steep asking price.

The campaign is short. I took longer than most, mainly cause there were some scenarios that I repeated a few times to finish them in cooler ways. But the main game is its plethora of modified modes and arenas. They tweak the main game in different ways (katana only, speedrunning, etc.), while the arenas challenge you to use all your honed skills to rack up a high kill count.
And your skills do get honed. The limitations of the other modes force you to think of different uses for your moveset, timing, etc., so going back to regular levels, you see all kinds of new ways to succeed

They need to make a lightsaber dueling game with this bullet time mechanic.

You've never seen a minimalist, abstract, or low-poly art style before?
It's what is called "Stylized"
No, I've seen half-assed before...

Ha, okay. I see where there is going. There's a big difference between unfinished and stylized. You might not like the aesthetic, but it's a cohesive art direction designed as an upgrade to the original game jam look and that coalesces with the gameplay so enemy, bullets, and interactive items are instantly contrasted and recognized. If you're familiar with Mirror's Edge use of red and blue against its stark white environments, you can understand the white-black-red palette and style here

I remember seeing this a while back when it was being made and it seemed kind of more like a tech demo than a game. It looks fun to mess around with, but that's a steep asking price for what's there. Guess I'll wait on a sale.

What tech do you think it is demoing? Its entire appeal is in its novel gameplay, pretty much the opposite of a tech demo.

Would it be more appealing if they layered grizzled marine textures over the character models and brick over the walls?
was about to say, it hasn't even been a year let alone years
Exactly what I thought while reading the title lol
