From Steam reviews
Review notes
The Next Penelope is worth a closer look if you want boss rush, nautical, controller friendly, and cyberpunk.
Best for players who want nautical, cyberpunk, emotional story, and boss rush.
Check more carefully if you dislike repetition or grind.
boss-rush
Play styleA major part of the game is learning and beating standout fights.
nautical
SettingWater, boats, fishing, or sea travel are important to the feel.
controller-friendly
FitController, gamepad, or Steam Deck play comes up as a plus.
cyberpunk
SettingThe game leans into neon, hacking, or corporate-dystopia texture.
solo-friendly
FitIt still makes sense as a solo play choice.
exploration
Play styleThe draw is moving through spaces, discovering details, and learning the world.
emotional-story
ToneThe story is framed as affecting rather than just plot-heavy.
short-game
PacingIt is better understood as a compact experience than a long hobby game.
Steam review snapshots
Once you know the pattern and how to get energy, the bosses are not a big problem.I wanted to grind XP to make the last levels easier, but without the bonus missions, it felt stupid to redo the…(single player campaign review) The game isn't about ordinary racing.Which was disappointing, because I absolutely love the aestheic and concept, having a top-down racer/combat game based on Greek legends while beasting…Why it fits
Check it if you want action, racing filtered by single-player.
