Great surprise, and it's only $30! Took me about an hour to get through the first level, which ends with that boss in the thumbnail above... It is just as much fun as it looks in the videos. If you like combo-based beat-em-up games (Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, etc.) then you're gonna like this, and they did a really good job of making the rhythm mechanics fun and rewarding. Which is nice, 'cause even though they say it's not technically required that you adhere to it, you're going to want to get in that groove to be successful in combat. It's also really cool to see how close they're getting to perfecting real-time anime art style for 3D games, and they obviously put a LOT of effort into making the animations so slick. Including the lip-syncing, which is not very good in most anime-styled things. Here it's practically movie quality, even on the cat, lol.

It's funny how nobody ever talks about Rockstar's "State of Emergency".

Maybe this will convince this multi-billion dollar company to invest more heavily into IT and cybersecurity, but probably not.
Not that Rockstar has confirmed this but it appears following a lot of Reddit threads that a Rockstar employee (Rockstar India) was social engineered. The hacker got / was given his password by the employee, and that was it. This attack wasn't some Hollywood movie high tech 10 million lines of code hacking situation with secret service helicopters in pursuit which $billion firewalls would have stopped if implemented.
Some users saying you can have billions invested in security and still get social engineered, others saying that isn't an excuse for a company that size etc etc. Lot of back and forth there.

Farthest Frontier is an interesting concept but it definitely needs more time in the oven, even for early access. For the same type of gameplay, you'll get better experience from Banished.
