Misleading
(+1 star for personal prejudice) I believe single player FPS games fall on a spectrum. On one end sit classic Doom/Wolfenstein. On the other sits Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (the original). I must confess at the outset that I find classic Doom/Wolfenstein utterly boring but love MW2. With its many questionable cinematics, new players like me might mistake NecroVisioN for a cinematic experience with a touch of gunplay. It's not. As early as Chapter 2, I began to encounter many more gun fights and boss battles than I was comfortable with. By the end of Chapter 2, I had enough. So why 4 stars? Two reasons. First: this game was Doom (2016) before there was Doom (2016). True, the gameplay is a lot more janky and everything is so dark, but the reward-driven combo-based in-your-face combat is still creative. Your many different weapons, when used in combination with your kick and basic melee attack, have different effects. You might trigger a lightning attack that jumps to all surrounding enemies. You might knock them all down. You might heal yourself. A lot of the effects seemed to be the same, but it was still fun trying them out. What is not creative is the the enemy design. Through two chapters and a bit of the third, I could only remember fighting enemy soldiers that run at me. There were a few bigger dudes with bigger guns and a few bosses. Oh yeah, and dogs. But there was none of thrill of gradually learning to kill an exciting new enemy. Maybe I just hadn't reached them. The second reason is simpler. By Chapter 3, I had seen a fire-breathing dragon. This game is crazy. Again, misleading due to the WW1 setting. The game is definitely not about WW1. I may love CoD, but I appreciate craziness in games. If this game were more polished, it could have been a cult classic. Maybe it is. As it stands, you have to be willing to go on a janky rumble fueled, LSD induced vision trip to enjoy it. Words can't quite capture it. MandaloreGaming's review is spot on for me.
