60 of 106 · most liked firstOkay, so the short campaign? Fantastic. Not worth $40, but still a very solid experience. But how the devs have treated the game post-launch? Wow... They launched New Game + like a month ago, but the update wiped everyone's save data. (The game started saving in a different folder, so not deleted data, but if you didn't know to look for it (and how would you), it's gone.) So they roll the patch back. Okay, mistakes happen, whatever. Then the devs go radio silent for nearly a month, not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not sure if it was eventually fixed or not, I've played the game on release and haven't opened it since. It is not the bugs I have issues with, nor the gameplay cons. As of moment I'm writing this review, I have discovered that the game had written a 6.9 GB log throughout the entire playthrough of 6.1 hours with the same error duplicated over and over concerning weapon class objects. Unable to find DefaultAttributeSet Group <weapon name>. Skipping. That error was logged every single frame and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Metal Eden – A Real Campaign Game in a Sea of Roguelike Turds Metal Eden feels like a throwback in the best way. In a market flooded with roguelike “pick three upgrades” loops and gated content, this is a full, start-to-finish campaign. No paywalled levels. No hidden progression traps. Just a focused, linear experience split into roughly nine missions with strong pacing. After finishing the game, you can freely replay missions, which actually feels rewarding because your build carries weight.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This one is for FPS fans, fast paced, lots of shooting and fun gameplay loop. No filler side quest bs, straight balls to wall action with banger music. Short and sweet. Impressed. 8.5/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When people say this game is short, they really mean it. I finished Metal Eden on Normal in about five hours, and my problem isn’t just that it’s short — it’s that even at 50% off, I still feel like I got ripped off. The 50% discount honestly feels like it should be the base price, and then another 50% off is where the game’s five-hour runtime would actually feel worth it. There are other problems. There are only about six or seven distinct enemy types across the entire five hours of gameplay.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of achievements are bugged. The developers don't seem to care about that and don't communicate. So if you're like me and have OCD when it comes to completion, I wouldn't recommend this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →That's Metal Eden compromised over 10 fuckin' lines of dialogue. Another game I loved the demo for, now gone from the wishlist. Christ, man. Turn yer mic on and drop a filter over the audio. Less than an hour's work.
unlabelledView post →It's okay... but there is not much of it. The game tries to approximate Doom Eternal and does a pretty decent job of it, except combat system is scuffed because the moment armored enemies become the majority (which is VERY early on) half your guns become useless. Plus the combat encounters get stale fast because you have like 10 shooty armored guys, a tripod, and an angry armored dude... except with a staff. Visuals are fantastic, plot is mediocre but VAs do a fun job hamming it up. On…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →played some Metal Eden and i'm pretty sad the game is thoroughly sauceless because that was not RUINER's problem at all i admire anyone trying to make DOOM 2016 happen again but it's just not clicking for me. it's visually super flat, too. :<
unlabelledView post →An ok game idea but don't expect it to run smoothly. Frequent crashes and corrupted saves made this a pain to play through. I even had to restart about 2/3rds of the way through due to a save error. Even if it didn't crash, the controls frequently lagged in response or wouldn't respond at all. Bugs with audio being stuck in a loop or guns just not functioning in their secondary mode would lead to some frustrating moments. It's interesting for about the first half of the game and the game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Devs aren't fixing bugs and instead releases new modes that bring more bugs. Total radio silence on the official Discord except the mention of their new upcoming game by the community manager for it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked this game, it was a fun albeit short little Doom-esque shooter and I wish i could give this a thumbs up. However the game has several bugs that the devs never fixed. They have gone completely silent on the issue. New Game+ is even broken and cannot be played beyond the first two levels as a door that is supposed to open never unlocks. Beyond that, it has achievement bugs and over time creates massive log files on your hard drive. The game is in a playable state, but not much else…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh yeah, if any of you have been enjoying Sprawl Zero or the original Sprawl, Metal Eden (by the Ruiner devs) is basically the game that exists at the intersection of those two. Wall-running AND bit smashy powers. It is also *very* pretty and only £4 right now.
unlabelledView post →Very excited to announce my involvement with “Metal Eden”. I wrote some crazy stuff for this game. Coming in May! #metaleden youtu.be/s_nAwi4kQNQ?...
unlabelledView post →Solid game. Nice aesthetic - very easy on the eyes. Good gunplay and movement. Great soundtrack to go along with gunning down enemies through linear maps. It is a fairly short game with only one game mode and a new game +. Small issue with ledging where it looks like you teleport up there sometimes if you land too low. The final fight for me was bugged pretty badly to where the boss wouldn't take any damage after a certain phase, but it worked after restarting a few times. Couldn't make heads…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A 5h long campaing featuring a doom2016-like fast paced gameplay. Pretty good game, story is meh but gameplay is good enough. Play it once and you'll certainly leave a positive review. Having said that, NG+ doesn't work. You get stuck early in the game and can't proceed. I wish I could give this a positive review, but the issue is gamebreaking. I wanted to farm achievements after completing the game (since I liked it) but now I just can't be bothered to care anymore.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm very impressed with this game. If I had to describe it in one sentence- it's DOOM in the Cyberpunk 2077 world. And I mean that in the best possible way. Fast paced action with a variety of guns and pickups, surrounded by beautiful graphics. Did I mention parkour combat? I ran it on my mid-range system at Ultra in 2K and didn't have a single stutter. Two thumbs up!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh, sweet, Metal Eden added a NG+ mode with tougher fights. My only real issue with that game is that it's short and you don't really get much time to play around with a fully upgraded arsenal. Or even fully upgrade it at all. There's a 40% discount up for the next couple days too.
unlabelledView post →Love the gameplay loop but the performance is very poor that it takes away a lot of the experience for me. I have a good machine and should run this game with ease.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as I love the Ruiner franchaise, I'd have to give a lukewarm positive to this game. Visually, the game is stunning; however the gameplay is linear and cumbersome, and the story...... oooh the story is as long and convoluted as this run on sentence. Achievement bugs, skill buttons freezing bugs, UI clutter, and a jarring map layout are few of the many grievances to list. Subtle hints to the Ruiner universe are the callbacks to various names to the game: Heaven, Rengok, Hanza,…

I have killed myself deliberately nothing changes I have restarted the checkpoint numerous times same thing I have quit the game to main menu went back same thing I closed the game completely come back to it still locked. That red screen is blocking the way there's nothing else left to do. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but after using my upgrade points I open it back up…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm starting Metal Eden on stream because action games about babes in cyber armor is absolutely my thing. More Expedition 33 later too! It's criminal I haven't finished that game yet. lawdogg.tv
unlabelledView post →I actually really liked the game. If you get it for 10-15 bucks and like fast movement based shooters it really is worth it. But now there is new game plus and alot of people can't get past level 1 or 2 because of a progression bug and not a single word is spoken about it. Dont they want people to play their new game plus mode? The only problem I have with this game is I want to play more but I just can't. At least talk to us so we know if there is still a chance that you guys fix this. Just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, good mechanics without being too complicated, and the aesthetic is top notch. Overall a good sci-fi shooter.. If that's your jam and you like the look of the of the teaser videos, I think you'll enjoy it. I picked it up on a whim and finished it in just under 7 hours and I think it was worth it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a really fun shooter. Think of it as a mix of Doom and Ghostrunner. It starts a little bit slow, but after the first mission it goes full throttle and does not stop. The gunplay in particular is fantastic. Sound, feeling, impact, just great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is completely broken at the moment. NG+ Mission 1 Paradise Lost door won't unlock bug. Can't progress past that point.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like Surge, Titanfall, Nier Automata mech designs + fast pace action adventure games like Ghostrunner, Hired Gun, Wolfenstein, Doom etc, then this game is for you. Easy to pick up, hard to put down.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too short for full playthrough. Around 4-5 hours on hardest difficulty. No replayability. Not worth full price tag. Bosses are too easy. Gameplay is fun at first, but becomes reptitive. Break shield, grab core, punch, shoot, repeat. If game is <$5 its worth it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like it. But the vibes don't quite reach the levels of Ruiner. The music is by default unfortunately quiet compared to SFX. Text has some wierd phrasing here and there. (Vulcan is sometimes called "Planet Vulcan" sometimes "The Vulcan", several upgrade descriptions feature broken english: "it got small cooldown" for example.) The art and gameplay is god-tier. With just a couple drawbacks. Passive weapon reloads should not be an upgrade, but just get that ASAP and the game works much…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately I cannot recommend this game. The gameplay itself is decent but there are constant micro-stutters happening while traversing the levels and during fights. My PC easily reaches well above 100 fps on high settings but the frequent stutters / frame time spikes make it feel significantly worse. Changing the settings does not seem to fix it either. It may be an engine optimization issue, and since the game is running on UE5 this would not be surprising.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If a person who thoroughly enjoyed Doom remakes, Warframe, Metroid, Ghost in the Shell, TitanFall, and decided that they wanted all of those elements, in a single game... We introduce to you - Metal Eden High Octane "arena" combat, with each weapon having its own unique upgrade-able alt function. As well as roles regarding what's effective against. With upgrades on your character that further enhance your combat style. Gritty, yet futuristic weapon designs. Wall run, grappling, dash / air…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm giving this a thumb's up at 2.5 hours and also not playing any more. Why? Because this is clearly an excellent game that provides a superb kind of fun that I have zero interest in. I can understand why other people would love it. So, thumb's up. if you like highly linear first person shooter fights with lots of running and jumping around, this game is your thing. Turns out, I don't like that, or at least don't like this specific variation of it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like Doom meets Ghostrunner but just a bit worse than those games in pretty much all aspects. Would recommend if that's your thing for $20-$30.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most overlooked FPS games of 2025/2026. It's basically Doom 2016 + CyberPunk aesthetics. Great gunplay, incredible graphics, fun campaign.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Embracer Group has planned to release 76 titles for FY25/26 Killing Floor 3 Marvel 1943: RoH Metal Eden Gothic 1 Remake REANIMAL Fellowship Wreckreation SpongeBob game NORSE: Oath of Blood Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core "alongside a handful titles yet TBA."
unlabelledView post →There's many flaws in this game but I think for the asking price, it's a good time. I don't think this is a $40 game as it was released as and the dev/pub seems to agree as they've lowered the price to $20. It's also a short romp at only 4-5 hours. This game is an unpolished mashup of Doom Eternal and Ghostrunner 2. They took the aesthetics, parkour, slow mo, and grapple points from Ghostrunner 2 and they took the gunplay, upgrades, and skills from Doom Eternal. I have a lot of complaints about…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its good and will scratch that Doom itch. But I don't get people calling it the second coming of Doom. Its a short, very linear boomer shooter with some interesting gameplay mechanics and fun combat. The story is nonsensical toward the end and has some cringe dialogue that doesn't fit the setting at all though. Sound design and ambient music is very good and reminded me of Doom 2016. Only one level's arena music really stood out to me. Game is worth it around 10 or less. It'll take you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As long as you keep your expectations in check, this is a pretty good time.. especially at a discount. Nice visuals and decent first person shooting and controls with a cyber-sci-fi nonsensical story. There is enough tactical strategy to switch between interesting weapons and just enough enemy variety to keep it interesting. But it does reek of a solid "core" game that could have been great with good writing, more creative level design, tighter controls, more meaningful upgrades and more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall it's pretty good, I'm sure people would call this "DOOM meets Ghostrunner" or something along those lines, but personally I got the Unreal Tournament/Quake vibes from the way arenas were made in the game, which is right up my alley. If there are any content updates that the devs planned for the game - I'm looking forward to a sort of Horde Mode/Challenges, because the main campaign has left me wanting more out of the game and its world in general. I wish the story had more up its sleeve…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Strong visuals and a fitting soundtrack, with a decent story overall. one thing that feels lacking, though, is the enemies, their variety and overall presence don’t really elevate the experience, the combat feels less engaging.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a tricky one. Ultimately i recommend the game, but in all honesty this game would be netiher a recommend or not recommend from me. I recommend, because there is not really any serious problem with the game. However there is nothing especially good about it either. The gameplay, combat, progression is ok. On the other hand there is not much story here, or one i care enough about. The game is short. It does not have pretty much any replayability factor. There are a few easily findable…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game just speaks to me. Super fluid high speed FPS, looks incredible, and Sonic Mayhem soundtrack. It is as sick as it sounds. When I first saw it, I thought it was a rogue-like. It's not. It's a traditional linear FPS campaign. That's probably a failure of the marketing but I'm glad it wasn't run-based. This game rules. I want to sing about it. My biggest criticism is that it's short. I could've played twice as much before getting worn out on it. But I'll take short, fast, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An absolutely relentless 6 hour blast of a game. Play if you like Doom 2016 (i.e. constantly pushing forward), enjoy slick graphics and never stopping moving. Not perfect - enemy variety and a bit of an undercooked morph ball mode being my only criticisms. Not perfect, but definitely really good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I had one word to describe this game then it would be "slick". Slick • controls • visuals • gameplay • narrative • presentation • performance Took me 7.8 hours to finish the campaign on "Brutal" difficulty. Personally, I am unbothered by the campaign length since I enjoyed every second of it. I'd rather experience 7-8 hours of pure fun rather than 20-30 hours of padded, repetitive and bland content only sprinkled with some fun here and there. And if I want more hours I will…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FPS fans I highly suggest giving the demo for Metal Eden a shot. This game is dope. It's like Doom 2016 meets Ghostrunner 👌
unlabelledView post →A little bit Ghostrunner, a little bit DOOM 2016 and while not as tight and polished as either, still has some frenetic and fast combat, interspersed with some tight platforming. It's also quite short and you can tell there was a LOT of cut content, likely due to Reikon Games' financial issues. At $25USD, it's a damn fun 5 hours or so, plus it's an Unreal Engine 5 game that actually runs well!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has genAI voices in it. Artistic bankruptcy is a major bummer, dude.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Generally I loved the gameplay here. It gives Doom 2016/Eternal vibes - so for those missing these kinds of shooters, this is definitely a recommendation. I did have a few gripes with it though. I found the dialogue and story painfully cringe. These characters that constantly talk in your ear and made me want to play the game with no sound. The story in itself is bizzare and I had a hard time following it, and made me really not care about it. The game is quite short, I managed it in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was going to post a reluctant positive review since the game is 'not bad', until the Oct. 15th NG+ update, but more on that later. The game is short, too short for the asking price. Doesn't really bring much new to the table (it is Ghostrunner mixed with Doom Eternal). Characters are uninteresting. Essentially the only good thing going for it are the visuals. Now, on the Oct. 15th the devs made a post saying there was now a NG+ feature. Great, I thought, and started up a new campaign, made my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Metal Eden is basically a blend of Quake III, Doom Eternal, and Ghostrunner. It inherited frenetic arena combat from the first two, requiring non-stop movement, precise aiming, and weapon-juggling. Meanwhile, Ghostrunner inspired its cyberpunk style and parkour platforming sequences. Combat heavy focuses on verticality and non-stop motion. The "stay still and you're dead" rule applies perfectly here. The gunplay feels great and tense, and the progression system lets you tweak the game to fit…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AI voice acting. Refunded.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It pains me to give Metal Eden a negative review. Some excellent aspects mired in poor or uninspired design really is a let down to the whole experience. Graphicly; The game looks great. A lot of time and care was put into the textures, modelling and lightning both in game and in cutscenes that make this game truly feel like a "Triple A" game. Unfortunately it it let down by its overly bland sci-fi environment. Mostly comprising of metal rooms, metal hallways and metal platforms. All set in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute hidden gem. Great combat, super cheap, really unique aesthetic. Lots of fun fast paced FPS combat. Kinda like Doom meets cyberpunk meets titanfall. GG
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL:DR: If you want a wild, sci-fi Boomer Shooter with modern graphics and movement, plus a pretty decent story, it's worth at least the on-sale price. Full review: This game is, for me, about an 8/10. The gameplay itself is enjoyable, very old-school Boomer Shooter with modern movement options thrown in and a lot of extra mechanics that keep the combat lively. There are minor issues here, but we'll get to them in a minute. Before that, I want to talk about some other matters, like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game suffers from quite sever level traversal stutters caused by level boundaries being too small, which can at times be located in combat areas. This is an issue which has plaguing UE game since for ever. Its a known issue with known solutions. I understand that with limited hardware, one needs to stream data from storage, but at the same time, high end machines like mine with 32GB of RAM, a 7900XTX with 24GB of VRAM paired with a 7800X3D shouldnt be having stutter issues. Especially…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's essentially a mixture up of Ghostrunner and Doom Eternal. I like both of those games and I like this one too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Metal Eden is like an odd mix of Doom and Titanfall. Pretty neat game. Full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoNF...
unlabelledView post →Played the demo for Metal Eden and I'm excited to check out the full game - but damn do I wish games would go back to early UE4 where they looked exactly the fucking same as they do now but didn't need DLSS to get more than 2 frames.
unlabelledView post →Metal Eden is a storydriven,doom like fps (doom 2016). It unfortunately released at a time where many other bigger titles came out and the Steam Next Fest demo that was a little bugged didn't help (because of the bugs) The game is pretty short and will take you about 6 hours or less to complete, but at a price tag of 4 dollars/euros it's good value. Pros: *Story The story was really decent imo considering the budget and all *Voice Acting (The developer disclosed that a.i. was used in…
