this game was first a huge surprise to me. finally an open world as a freedomfigther. (there are also an older game called freedomfigthers)
but enough of that.
you start as a Irish male who want to councqer the world by drivning in fast cars. but you don´t like the German opponents and you end up in a fight. but sadly, the invasion of france has begun. You lose alost all you care about, and end up being a part of the resistance!
There you destroy Nazi propaganda and makes life as missuable as possible for the Nazi´s.
the storyline is long and good. many of the unike places you are acturely able to see in the game. like the eiffel tower. :D
go in and get bored by the intro and then later injoy the freedome in the game.
Stealth
Stealth is really underdesigned, a very simple line of sight system. Game offers very few ways to sneak. The game punishes you for trying out something interesting and fresh by giving enemies an instant global alert button.
"Reeeeeeee!"
Enemies blow their whistle as soon as they see you. All enemies. If there are 2 or more enemies, you can't prevent an alarm. No exception, hilariously, even the blimps make a whistle sound. This is a very tedious mechanic, as it forces you to either run for miles or cimb a building.
Climb
In a good show of historical accuracy, climbing is painfully slow and consists of holding "up" and mashing "space". No, it doesn't even look pretty.
Guns
Very few, despite that most are just crap. Pistols more effective than rifles and machine guns. Shooting bland due to poor and simplistic enemy design. Interesting weapons locked behind challenges.
"Challenges"
Product of a sick mind. Feels like you're giving mouth-to-mouth CPR to a dead person, who you need to buy guns. Rarely interesting.
Level design
On global map, none to speak of. All buildings feel the same, blowing things up is the same every time. The copy-and-pasted nazi points even have the same patrol routes every time. In campaign, level designers could only focus on one thing at a time. So campaign levels end up being really linear and don't offer any depth. Not even for a third-person shooter.
Destruction
Copy-pasted nazi objects only. Can't launch a winged rocket from a rocket truck. Shells from turrets fly 10 meters then explode, unless fired at blimps.
I would say that this game fails at being everything, but the fact is, it barely even tried. Obvious cash grab, millions of $ of wasted potential. 4, 5 star reviewers never played past intro at best, only watched the trailer at worst.
The game itself is alright although it does have some flaws like it's iffy stealth and disguise mechanics. The action is fun although you get certain weapons way too early.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
