It’s perfection of gameplay that is DOOM 2016, while keeping the retro graphics/style of OG DOOM and QUAKE - need I say more?
As the description states, you have to be meticulously methodical lest ye get a bullet to the face (when playing on normal difficulty). The simplest of mistakes quickly leads to death. Moreover the penalty from unauthorized use of force. An easily obtained infraction from shooting suspects that you know are about to shoot you (à la SWAT 4). Unfortunately, the game lacks the mechanics you need around such gameplay to make it enjoyable, - Poor tutorial. There should be a dedicated, compressed tutorial. Not just a quick intro when you first play the first level. For example, the only reason I know you could select fire rate is by looking at the key bindings menu. - As the title of this review suggests, it’s brutality of SWAT 4’s ROE combined with the top-down perspective of Door Kickers. The issue is, it’s a stripped down version of both due to the lack of teammate control and teammates in general. I can only tell them where to move and what to cover. As oppose to in DK where I draw the specific path they should follow and where to look the entire time. - Moreover of the above point, there’s only two officers in total. Making it pretty difficult to cover all angles when moving through the maps. Bottom line, 3 stars due to lack of teammate control combined with the brutality of SWAT 4. A fun tactical-centered experience can be had, however, the aforesaid issues hinder it too much.
