Cygni All Guns Blazing is really an excellent game. It's definitely the best-looking shoot 'em up I've ever played, surpassing even "Sky Force" in terms of visuals. The game does suffer from a few issues, but these are not things that couldn't be fixed with appropriate updates. Playing it was fun, and I hope the developers will decide to add more content to the game, as there's a lot of potential in it.

It's true that CYGNI: All Guns Blazing can feel somewhat difficult and overwhelming, but remember that that's just how these games are, and it's not to defend them; it is part of its charm. Pushing ourselves and testing ourselves is part of its essence: bringing out our innate skills with the controller and enjoying a good time, alone or in company, is an experience that you should not miss.

CYGNI: All Guns Blazing is an ambitious title that combines exceptional visuals with some innovative gameplay mechanics. However, behind the breathtaking aesthetics, the game suffers from core gameplay issues that can occasionally make the experience frustrating and less engaging than expected.

Mechanically-engaging and technically impressive when it wants to be, CYGNI: All Guns Blazing goes all in on spectacle with mixed results. Where its core energy-management system is an anxious-but-delightful thing to manage, it's most of what surrounds the gameplay that KeelWorks sadly don't fair as well on. Putting its immediate and dense introduction to one side, its lack of a stand-out musical or artistic identity, while not the end of the world, does mitigate a hefty chunk of how much enjoyment one can find. Particularly in such a visually-busy take on shmups as CYGNI is. Even so, a sufficient level of joy remains via those classically shmup-like moments of holding on to take down a boss or battling through an endless wave of hostiles and still coming out the other side unscathed. Its supposed unique standing doesn't always feel adequate, but CYGNI: All Guns Blazing still presides over an interesting-enough, modern-day take on the genre.
