Hints at more, but not much here
The world is pretty well realized, visually cohesive and interesting at a surface level. Unfortunately it never develops past the level of "I wonder what's going on". It successfully drew me in and gave me the desire to find out more about what happened, but that information never comes. When I finally reached the main objective of the journey and what I thought would be a revelatory expositional moment instead a character just monologues cryptically and vaguely, explaining nothing. Then the credits roll. I don't think I didn't get it, I think it's just incomplete, which is a bummer. Unfortunately, the gameplay was also underwhelming. The combat is serviceable but nothing special. The guns are are visually fine, but have little gameplay variety. There is very little hit feedback on enemies, and they all pretty much just run in a straight line at you. The one exception are the hitscan ranged enemies, which are just annoying because they absolutely shred your health while moving erratically at long range. There are extremely basic puzzles and platforming challenges as well, but nothing that rises to any level of challenge beyond stacking crates to get over a ledge, or picking up a handle and installing it in a door to allow entry. There are two difficulties which, disappointingly, can only be chosen at the beginning of the game. If you play this game I would recommend avoiding hardcore difficulty as saves are fairly far apart, and you will end up replaying long sections of fairly bland gameplay. The inclusion of a hardcore difficulty that restricts saving would make more sense if this was more of a survival horror game but in a short narrative fps it feels like a bizarre inclusion. I wouldn't say I had a bad time either, it was an alright diversion for a few hours but it is difficult to recommend considering the incomplete story and how bland the gameplay is. If it's on sale and you really like singleplayer fps and don't mind the unfinished narrative, maybe.
