I got this because I thought it looked fun - as though a little Rougelite game for a little bit of fun. I started, lost track of time, and found out I had played for nearly 3 hours straight. As someone who has lost a great deal of passion for games nowadays, I am joyed that I could be so engrossed within this game. The sound design is good, the soundtrack is "Meh" at worst and Amazing at its best. The action brings me back to games like Doom immediately, albeit with modern sensibilities. I especially loved the "RPG" elements in the game, allowing you to balance your own approach. Simply put, I've played games and known how bad they can be within the first 10 minutes. I knew this was great with 5. A modern Must for people who enjoy older Shooters.
Character movement is slidey and clumsy. Combat is clunky and unintuitive. Objectives are tedious, reciprocating before being completed. Player choice of approach is encouraged, yet punished heavuly if not the preferred course the game intends. Enemies are infinitely spawning. Resources are significantly limited. Guns degrade at a pathetically quick rate. Inventory Management is Grid System, but certain items lack proper profiles (Pistol same space as Shotgun). For as great as this game is preached to be, it ultimately isn't. It isn't a "Bad" game, but it is definitely Old, and not in the charming, fun way. I still enjoy it somewhat, but it is a farcry from what I was led to believe. The Rose-tinted glasses have Thick Lenses on this one.
