✓ Both are looter shooters — sharing deep RPG systems, shooter and first-person shooting

≠ Its own twist: action RPG combat, open world exploration and setting scifi, while skipping roguelike runs

Low-gravity movement and oxygen management change the shooting more than expected: fights become vertical and you commit to jumps rather than strafing. Shorter and lighter than the numbered entries. It reuses a lot of assets and enemy types, and the oxygen meter becomes a chore once the novelty of bouncing around the moon wears off.

✓ Fits the looter shooters cluster, with deep RPG systems, shooter and first-person shooting

≠ Where it differs: brings action RPG combat, open world exploration and setting scifi, while skipping roguelike runs

The original loot shooter: four classes, a procedural gun system, and enemies that soak damage until the numbers line up. Co-op is where it makes sense. It shows its age in structure — quests are almost entirely fetch-and-kill, the story is thin, and the last stretch leans hard on repeated arena fights before an underwhelming finish.
