Medicore shooter ruined by bullet sponge

Enemies are bullet sponges, even on "Normal". The game's too dark generally, with light not diffusing normally in most circumstances. Enemies have no inertia, turing on a dime in all circumstances. There is no leaning or iron sights or cover usage, so you're vulnerable to shockingly-accurate bullets all the time. Enemies don't react when you take a hostage, they don't exhibit self-preservation behavior, they have infinite ammo and only reload when behind cover, not when magazines should be empty. Some enemies have infinite grenades. Enemies spawn behind you and around corners you've already cleared and if you're using Bullet Time you'll see it happen. Difficulty only seems to make enemies hit harder and you deal less damage to already spongy enemies, which is just bad. All this would have been marginally acceptable in the 2000s when the tech was harder to manage, but it is definitely not acceptable now.

Repetitive, but good.

It's a really good FPS in the spirit of Shadow Warrior's reboot. Same frantic action and weapons options. However the SW games have a VAST amount of weapons to choose from, which this game lacks. It also lacks variety as all missions boil down to A) run or B) Arena fights. The bosses were kind of interesting. However it is a solid 6-7/10 game.

We Have F.E.A.R. At Home

A Brutally fun shooter that is held down by a number of flaws. While maybe not a spirituald sequel to F.E.A.R. it very obviously took inspiration from that game. Combat is fast and brutal, which is by far the best aspect of Trepang2. Weapons feel meaty and powerful and the gore effects mirror that. The shotgun in particular especially feels like a beast, and doesn't fall into the trap many fps shotguns have of having to be near pointblank range to be effective. There's also a good variety of grenades and deployables as well. The game also features good visuals and exclent sound design. The level design, for better or worse, is right out of the mid 2000s, which is nice with almost everything these days either being AAA open world slop or indie boomer shooters. In short, it's a lot of fun. The problem? Well the game also has a lot of flaws. To start, the story is an absolute mess, and the way its told only leands to confusion, even if you find every single intel. I played the game twice and still only have somewhat an idea on what they were trying to convay. Its not good. Next, the amount of content. The main story is quite short. Only about 6 missions (5 technically since the last mission is split up into 2 parts), 2 more with the dlc and 6 side missions which are mostly expanded horde levels. The rest of the focus went into the horde mode, which sports over 40 maps with the dlc. So if you are more into these types of modes over traditional campaigns you will be in hog heaven, but for me I just ended up wanting a more complete story mode. It really shows a lack of focus and direction. There are other issues as well, such as only being able to use 2 guns. WHY? even F.E.A.R. let you carry 3-4. You also have to find attachments, which the game doesn't tell you where they are and some of the more important ones are late in the game. The AI isn't that great, unlike say F.E.A.R. Really there is a good game here but the issues make it hard to reccomend off a sale.

What a mess

I remember playing a couple of demos for this game over the last 5-6 years. They held a lot of promise. What I've played now is really tragic, as the gunplay is fun, but the level design and pacing is horrible. I'm not even through the second level and I'd rather just go play Crysis and FEAR again. The free horde mode demo was probably the pinnacle of the releases. It's such a shame that I waited 5-6 years for the complete version this project, only to find disappointment in how barren and uninspiring the levels are to work through. I'd wait for a deep discount before dropping any money on this one.
