Ion Fury

Simply put one of the best FPS of the past few years. Build Engine, great soundtrack and sound effects, superb gameplay and gunplay.

Overall, for me, it's an entertaining game. I like the atmosphere a lot. Even though I played only the first levels, the level design is nice, with interestingly placed secrets and badies. The character movement is fast. There are nice touches, like small dips in health when the character is electrocuted (either in water through the use of the "electrifryer" or by placing the fingers in the wall power socket, etc). These little touches makes me want to interact more with the environment, just for gags. The pizza in this game is delicious. The ATM throws coins at the push of a button! Beat that! The behavior of the enemies is predictable, usually rushing toward the player, sometimes getting stuck behind a wall. Playing on "ultra viscera" difficulty level makes me wanna exploit their behavior and electrifry them saving ammo in the process, increasing the fun and difficulty. The music and sounds are great and useful in locating the enemy, though the music becomes repetitive (especially when spending time interacting with the environment and searching for secrets). The graphics are part of the atmosphere, integrating nicely. The silly paper thin objects remind me that this is a computer game, to relax, disengage and just have fun, especially after a days hard work in the real life. Resource wise, the game doesn't need lots of computer resources and it works great on my arch linux system. The game has interesting video mode options like frame rate limiter with offset, FOV. The protagonist can be muted, though I don't know why would anyone want that, I certainly don't.

Plays like an upgraded FPS from the 90's. Solid, simple fun that has a nice assortment of environments and decent level play.

Gameplay starts out a bit tame. Ammo isn't plentiful enough to go hot and wild with your shooting. Your arsenal is limited and scarce. Within 2-3 levels you start having ammo to swap between weapons as the situation calls. By level 5 you can throw explosives at your leisure. And then the fun has begun. Overkilling enemies make them explode into armor shards. Nothing is more satisfying than sticking the shotgun up their nose and watch the shards fly among the blood. Or blowing up a group with explosives for tasty "bolognese and armor shards". You'll be hunting for those headshots. The level selection is half great ones that feel lived-in, and half-underground, less interesting ones. The bad ones aren't terrible, just not as exciting as the city and building interiors. The ending is best experienced by immediately hitting new game, to wash out the bad taste with the good.
