The game has many layers. At first sight there's the hyperorganized and roboticized communism 2.0 arc in an alternate universe Russia that won WW2. Wacky oversexualized crafting machines, talking gloves, a passive agressive protagonist and strange bedfellows and a GrandMother-I-DONT-Want-To-♥♥♥♥-With.

But underneath lies a more sinister and esoterical narrative of experimental scientific breakthroughs that grew over the creators's heads and became transcendent, leading to a quite stimulating open end ripe for many theories of how our main protagonist will deal with his own afflictions vs the interests of 'the motherland'.

The gameplay versatility in this game is astounding. Not only does it provide gameplay elements ranging from frantic Doom--like action mixed with beefed-up BioShock abilities, to portal-style puzzle solving and "watch dogs" hacking and scanning, the game also allows you to prepare yourself for big bos fights on a semi open world big floating island with aperture-science-style puzzle centres that provide breaks from the fast paced action. There you'll be able to acquire enough "lustful abandon" to upgrade many aspects of your character skills and passive abilities.

The protagonist will also slowly discover how kollektiv created a tragic outcome in his personal life, and allegiences will change depending some choices he made.

The soundtrack treats you to a goofy Russian schlager and contemporary music remixfest in dubstep / progressive house / metal and more. The art style might be remeniscent of Bioshock but the semi open world and not in the least the story are unique and quirky enough to give it it's own distinctive vibe.
