Something missing.
I loved it in the first few hours, which turned into mild amusement, which turned into being bored of it before it was over. Maybe that just means the game outstays its welcome, but I don't think that's the problem for me. If you haven't played any old shooters in a while I can see why this would be an interesting novelty, but as someone who does still play and replay them on the reg, I didn't find Ion Fury to have much interesting to offer. If it came out in the 90s I can only see it being a solid 7/10, even then. The weapons and enemies aren't very unique or exciting. A basic arsenal with nothing that really stands out to me, and some of the same enemies just come at you repetitively (like the robot headcrab things). There's not enough variety there. The indoor environments get a bit dull after the first few levels, with large outdoor areas offering a nice breath of fresh air before you're quickly funneled back into corridors and tunnels again. A lot of the game's humour falls flat and some of it is just perplexing (or maybe I don't get the references?). It does things right too. Movement speed and freedom of movement for example are perfect, and you can get into a very satisfying groove during combat when you're jumping around the maps. The basic enemies die quickly and gib, and the game makes you feel like a badarse. It has all those simple pleasures down fine, but this is like the minimum I would expect from a retro inspired shooter, and it wasn't enough to sustain me through the whole game. There's just something missing from this one.
