At times agonizingly difficult but usually only because I didn't think things through before proceeding. It's almost like a Schwarzenegger movie complete with campy one-liners. From beginning to end, entertaining. The part that is sometimes agonizing is the combat, but having written that, once you're good at it, you can overwhelm anything that moves. If you don't want to be inflicting your enemies with a volley of missed punches and kicks, the important factor in combat is, always make sure you're facing your foe. Be warned, as good as the game is, there is a LOT of reading. If you don't take the time to read every data-pad entry and other information you come across, stuff will make no sense and you'll find yourself lost, with seemingly no way to continue. You'll think you missed something that you did out of order and have to start over, or you'll think there's a glitch in the game and be tempted to deliver it to the scythe-carrier of computer game death, the uninstall command. But no, DON'T. You just didn't read. You missed something. It's that real. You don't have to look for something hidden in the dark. It's not a pixel-hunt. If you look around carefully, you will see that the guys at Origin put a lot of time into this game. There is an explanation for everything you've done and everything you need to do. The setting casts you as an unknown test subject in a wicked secret research project. You've been made into a quintessential killing machine, but stripped of your memories. Your goal; escape and find out who you are. Yes, I know. You're thinking, same old. But this is not same old in any sense of the term. Once you escape your cell and beat another cellmate to deatrh with a severed arm, you'll realize quite early, this game is anything but same old. So if you are interested in an action/adventure game that does a lot, and succeeds in nearly every aspect, play Bioforge. It can get ridiculously difficult, and combat can be frenzied, but never disappointing.
A third person perspective adventure game from 1999. A humorous romp that will need a very active imagination as some of the puzzles are quite erratic, to say the least. Some of them are mildly demented, or deranged. I was left completely bewildered at times, yet the answer was somewhat logical, and at times, right in front of me. The game is bright and colorful; the music innocuous. Take an afternoon, about 6 hours, and play through the game. This nugget has some really good puzzles that actually make sense, along with some humor of the sort where you'll look over your shoulder to see if anyone saw what you laughed at. Don't get what I mean? Play the game.
