great potential, held back by gameplay
Strife tries to be an immersive sim with an interesting story, but with the DOOM engine makes every enviroment look the same mesh of ugly underground sewers and abstract industrial areas. The whole experiance is mostly running in circles trying to find the exit to the next level long after all the enemies were killed.

A violent saturday morning cartoon
If it isn't clear by the fact that the two factions fighting for the future of mankind are called "The front" and "The Order", this is a silly game. It's no surprise they decided to take a silly approach to the game narrative: the game has 5 voice actors doing the voice of 15 characters, maybe more: no serious history could survive the Austin Powers' level of characterization going on to try to make these voices distinct. But that's for the best: the inerent humour in it gives is a lot of good faith for the, at times nonsensical, story, the incorehent AI or the labirinth level design (it's no wolfenstein 3D, but JFC on some of the levels, specially the ones with teleporters). To say the story is nonsensical is not entirely knocking on the game, because the writing is still really clever. There's certain twists in this game that are setup up long before, the main one is Black Bird's line "Why is every mission on the underground? I've seen an underground". There's also jokes plenty sprinkled around, specially in the missions you character is infiltrating. But it's pretty nonsensical still, and it's clear that most of it was an adhoc explanation to a certain level. Slight spoilers: you need to kill a certain responsible for a supposed collective inteligence of The Order: At no point in the game they appear to have a collective inteligence, not that mission seems to affect the game world at all. Gameplay flaws: it is impossible to hit certain enemies with in certain elevation, and it's hard to understand would this game was supposed to be played back when it had no mouselook given the level design. On the hardest difficulty the "machine enemies respawn at certain points. At first it's fun, it forces you to constantly move; on the other it gets really annoying when the strongest enemies in the game constantly respawn when you're trying to clear an area. But plenty of fun in the normal mode, and it's pretty open ended. It's not deus ex tho , that's just silly.
