"Capcom's sci-fi puzzle shooter almost feels like a game plucked out of a previous generation, and I mean that in a complimentary sense. There's something refreshing about playing a game that feels devoid of all the modern, pretentious attempts at gravitas, while still feeling robust and innovative enough to hold up to its contemporaries."
"The only friendly presence Hugh comes across is D-I-0336-7, an android made to look like a young girl with an incredible ability to hack through the ironclad defenses of all the robots on board. Hugh decides she needs something a little more simple if they're going to escape this facility together, and he riffs on the first two letters of her designation to settle on Diana."
"The difference between and dad games of the past like The Last of Us or the reboot is that Hugh and Diana's relationship starts off sweet and only grows more so as the game goes on. It's downright saccharine at some points."
Capcom's sci-fi puzzle shooter presents a nostalgic yet innovative experience reminiscent of past generations. The game follows Hugh, a space marine, who discovers a devastated research station on the moon. He encounters D-I-0336-7, an android resembling a young girl, whom he names Diana. Their relationship evolves positively, contrasting with typical 'dad games' by showcasing a nurturing bond rather than a burdensome one. The game subverts traditional tropes of parenthood, focusing on a sweet and supportive dynamic between Hugh and Diana.
