Boomer-FPS without Boomer-FPS-mechanics

I gave "Rise of the Triad (2013)" a shot because I had played the original back in the days. However, the devs clearly did not understand what makes boomer shooters so awesome. DISCLAIMER: I stopped playing this game after three hours, because I was so fed up with it, so some points of my criticism may not apply to the late game. There is almost no variation in enemy types (other than their skin). The enemies only use hitscan weapons, which eliminates projectile dodges and makes fast movement obsolete. So, the most effective way to kill an enemy is actually to just stand still and shoot a magazine worth of ammo at him, while making sure you don't have line of sight to any other enemy. This is soooo boring! There is also no weapon shuffling, you have infinite ammo and the game is freaking easy even on highest difficulty. Combine that with the most boring level design you can imagine, and there you go: Rise of the Triad (2013). In a time where we are blessed with incredibly good boomer shooters like Amid Evil or Prodeus, there is really no place for a game like this.

Broken

One star might seem harsh but ive also had to post a plea for help in the GoG community section because the game is broken. It requires a 2gb fix patch (that isnt even available on gog yet) because it runs horribly on a high percentage of PCs. I even have a high end gaming rig and ROTT was horribly unplayable on it....terrible frame rate, stuttering audio, horribly over processed. Even after the post processing was removed the game still didnt play smooth at all....maybe underneath its a good game..maybe the massive 2gb fix patch will fix it (if it ever becomes available) I'm screwed either way cause I was given a gog copy by a friend, but because it's not on my actual gog account i cant download the fix even if I want to. To me, a broken game is the worst kind of game regardless of if it can be fixed eventually or not..fact is they shipped it like this knowing that some gamer's PC's will throw a fit at it...if you want proof of that just ask yourself how they could actually release a huge 2gb fix patch right after releasing it....fix patches like that don't get made over-night. So goddamn dissapointed..you have no idea how much i was looking forward to this.

Bad old times

This games plays and feels just like the kind of games I used to play as a kind, EXACTLY like them! It comes with all the flaws of games from the 80. You walk around a corner and the AI will see you as soon as 1 pixel intersects with the AI's vision cone. So they know exactly where you are while you are still looking for the guy shooting at you. The enemy is also properly camouflaged and really hard to see but this is supposed to be a game and not a simulation. So you tend to get shot before you even know where most of the enemies are. Feel free to pirate ONE copy because I will not be playing the game I purchased. Playing this game is a horrible experience because the devs did not learn a single lesson from past games. Rating -10 stars

An almost perfect reboot.

The most concise way to explain this game, is that it is to the original Rise of the Triad, what Return to Castle Wolfenstein was to Wolfenstein 3D. The developers did a marvelous job of presenting a case of "Where's what you get, if the source material was made with today's technology!" That said, this game does have some annoyances. Despite being able to really crank up the graphics detail on older video cards like my GT 220, and run blazingly fast, the game has stuttering and slowdown in a completely unexpected area, the cutscenes, which are just pre-rendered flybys of the levels, and in the motion comic cutscenes. These are not resource taxing, as they're just movie files. So it's a bit confusing. My other issue are the load times which can be very VERY long at times.

This is not a finished product

The core of the game is good, but everything else is way too rough around the edges. There are lots of bugs, from getting stuck in props, weapons disappearing from your inventory upon reloading a save, enemies coming back from the dead... the list goes on. There's an evident lack of polish here, especially with the level design. Tt feels very amateur sometimes (floating elements, NPC standing still with their arms spread left and right, like the animators couldn't be bothered, scripts that can get you stuck if you don't do as the designers intended...). Don't get me wrong the game can be fun but you'll have to put up with some very annoying issues.
