Ruiner 2 promises to evolve the original top-down shooter 'into a deep, systems-driven action RPG'

Released in 2017, Ruiner is a stylish, brutal top-down shooter that earned an 84% in our review as "a superb, if short, whirlwind of cyber-violence and sightseeing." Nearly a decade later, developer Reikon Games says a sequel is finally on the way.

Ruiner 2 will take players back to the corporate-ruled cyber-awfulness of Rengkok, "and the wasteland beyond," where everything sucks and you can't even escape into the quiet mercy of death because it's against the terms of your contract. So, Plan B: Escape by killing everything else.
