I can understand replacing the game with the remastered version, even if that one is half-baked. But was it really that hard to offer a way to download the old version ?
The first act of the game is really enjoyable. The second one is bad for many reasons. The third one is an inferior version of the first one. Could have been far better !
Game breaking bug blocking your progession and not solved by a reaload... In such a linear game, it's really impressive !
Mechanicus is X-Com in 40k, except it's better for a few reasons : - The lore of a Adeptus Mechanicus expedition exploring a awakening Necron Tomb World is awesome - The gameplay and the difficulty are highly customisabled - The low randomness of the game remove the most frustrating part of XCom with those high chances miss.. An excellent W40k game which happens to also be a really nice one, even without it licence.
The core of the game is quite nice, but only one map, or more exactly one rectangle is far too low to make it really worth it. At least it's really cheap !
That game could have been fun, but it aged like milk. At least in the first levels, the level design is really boring. StangleHold also have a mostly bad game feeling when played with a mouse and keyboard. Still, i suppose you could enjoy yourself if you're really out of fps to play.
The game was'nt ready for release, far too many game breaking bugs. The dev teams try to patch it quickly, but each update add new problems... And that for steams users who actually get update in time. The gog version get patch a little bit late to my taste. The actual game seems fun but a bit shalow. Maybe it will be a nice game in a few month, when it is actually finished.
The base game is quite fun, but suffer from major problems : -It's really short -The final boss is awful and far too long in "mouse" difficulty -Maniability is'nt that good, and is unecessary hard to learn (press space to jump or too stop in the air if you're already airborn.. one key for two contradictory things...
But the few last level are so awful i would have prefered to never touch that thing. -Kamikaze enemies in a melee/speed-run focused game... Youhou, i can choose to play defensively and abuse power or to avaoid them by doing some stupid move abusing the ai... really awesome -a boring final boss (but to be fair, it could be worse) -an awful final level with an huge difficulty spike, making it an infernal die and retry treadmill, and killing any impression of speed (or fun). it's sad considering that before that, the game was so fun... Also, it's super short (6 hours), and the replay value isn't good, because of those bad last level, but also thanks to some pretty but boring the second time exposition level/ tutoriels/ light puzzle.. Could have been a good game... but it's not. If you want a Cyberpunk slasher, check out Ruiner, and if you want a fast paced wall running carnage... Titanfall2.
But it's not... It is far below Dark Messiah as a First Person Slasher, and the lack of variety in gameplay turns a serviceable game into a boring one.
