≠ Its own twist: shooter, first-person shooting and single-player focus, while skipping MMO world and community

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.
