After a lab accident, a scientist awakens in a mysterious, alien world. Is this a distant planet? The far future? Or a complex virtual-reality computer simulation? Plumb the recesses of a large, labyrinthine world in order to learn its secrets and uncover your role within it. Discover tons of weapons, items, and abilities, each with their own unique behaviors and usage. You’ll need your wits to find them all. Combat bizarre biomechanoid constructs, the deadly fallout of an ancient war, and the demons of your own psyche. And finally, break the game itself by using glitches to corrupt foes and solve puzzles in the environment. Life. Afterlife. Real. Virtual. Dream. Nightmare. It's a thin line. It's Axiom Verge.

Argh. I was really looking forward to Axiom Verge on Vita but it is just too buggy. Had quite a few hard crashes back to the Vita home screen. I have never seen that before until this game. Particularly annoying as I was traversing a super long hallway to get from one side of the map to the other. There were no save points so I have to do it all over. I am not going to bother starting the game up again. Bugs are not the only issue either. The weapons are boring and using them to take out enemies isn't satisfying. Overall it has been a big disappointment.

I have just started playing Axiom Verge, but so far I am liking it. My platform of choice is Vita due to my long commute, so I held off picking it up super cheap on steam. I'll admit I hesitated when I saw it was $20 on the PS Sore but did bite the bullet and buy it. Hope it is ultimately worth it.

Really loving this. I had Metroid on NES as a kid and could never stomach more than 20 minutes of it. It was too much. Axiom Verge is EXACTLY what I wanted out of Metroid as a kid. Exploration but WITH A MAP. Good power-ups, rewarding challenges and not just "You got lost and died."
