My most succint opinion of this is as per the title. I got this for free, so I don't mind that much, but it still sucks that I don't feel like completing this game. It's a pretty brain-dead game but nevertheless OK in a low price such as under $1. The game lacks any sense of logic or story, but this isn't a criticism, because it's a cheap game. See the game featured screenshots and video to get an idea what game this is. Turning off music almost mutes the game except for gun shots and lifeless explosion sounds. The helicopter does not even make a rotor spinning sound. It's a fun game nonetheless for kids who are just getting into gaming. There are 6 missions iirc and each one I believe has simple but unlearly explained objectives. I only completed the first mission but that is my guess for the rest of the game.
Way to force woke to the audience.
Good graphics, clunky gameplay. Confusing Story. Well-optimised for modern day hardware. Resolution scaler at 200% sucks a LOT of VRAM and if there is not enough VRAM, there will be horrible micro stutters. The gameplay is ok if you got this game for free. I'd hate to have purchased this game with such a slow, holding back gameplay. On normal and very hard difficulty the bullets available is low and scarce. Ofc, that would be ok if escaping the zombies could be done at 'will'. The melee is broken. Even if you are standing right infront of the zombie and melee, sometimes, the melee will just not work, causing the zombie to attack you and costing you 20% hp loss or more. If you melee in front of a lying zombie, then that does no dmg, no kick on the ground lmao You can only attack the zombie in melee if it is also on a level playing field to attack you. That's not challenging, that's just bad gameplay. Sprinting/Running system could be done better. Overall, not sth that is keeping me hooked; only wanna complete this game and uninstall it. And last but not the least, the story is AWEFUL. Way up there with the subpar gameplay. The story has no end no beginning. The voice acting is too dramatic and melodramatic for a plot which isn't even explained. Some cutscenes are way too long and the NPC characters seem to do overacting. As I said, dramatic, melodramatic.
Could not get controls to work properly with the GOG version. Lara doesn't move with any button on the keyboard. Dog shi! experience.
The game has good graphics. Didn't find a way to pan the camera up or down for a better camera mode view. Would be nice. Run well, moderately well optimised in terms of graphics. But there are issues, major issues. In some instances of the game, characters vanish and so the game can't progress, while in other instances, the dialogues don't progress because the side character was not near you or you were in another part of the map. Sounds confusing right? Let me clarify. In the final mission, if you are stuck with 'Task update', then wait in the snowy area till all the dialogues are completed and don't get back to the grassy area before the dialogues are completed. On another area, where you have to go in order to wait in one position to send a signal, make sure the side character is always present with you, beside you, otherwise, the dialogues don't progress. I've had to google, read steam forums, watch youtube, in order to really understand hjow to fix these bugs. The developers know of this bugs and even talked on a steam forum on their promise to "fix" them, but they were not fixed apparently. I've had to replay some areas multiple times spending over 3 hours just to find the bugs, get past them and finish the game. Most important advice: Make good use of Quick saves and Manual saves. SAVE SAVE SAVE in each and every area. Not every minute or 10 minutes, but based on every different area. Start from Slot 1, finish at the last slot, when the last save slot is occupied, go back to the first slot and that will be your new saved slot. It will be overwritten but that slot will already have been too old to care about. And quick saves will be the in between save of the previous save and the running gameplay. I rated it 5 stars ONLY because I was able to manage to finish the game, graphics was pleasing and that I got it for free.
