From the opening to the character customization to the first mission, there's was just nothing to write home about. Just cannot get into it, too boring.
Super boring opening, spongy enemies, no strategy required, just run and shoot. Game doesn't explain things then punishes you later like the charges you get, you'll need them later to open containers, so if you use them in combat, you won't be able to open containers, and you cannot backtrack either so the game design is super lame. Some enemies are simply designed to annoy you and while there is some fun to be had, it gets boring very fast. Dual weapons are a headache and require an extra button press every time you cycle weapons, no way to just set it to auto dual. Like why?! This is so annoying and makes life harder on purpose. Also, they went full on vehicles, typically a bad sign in a FPS game, and yes, they all suck, and the battles suck and a total borefest. Enemy mechs are so weak compared to the foot soldiers, it takes the fun out of the mech vs mech fight completely as you just back and fire salvos of rockets while the enemies run at you from like hundreds of meters away. 3/5 if you want to kill a few hours and get it on huge discount.
I was really looking forward to this game, and while it's part of the GOG preservation program, it still doesn't work well. This is the only game, that in years, hard crashed my Win 11 rig, and I mean to the point where you cannot open the program manager properly to close the down the game manually. I'm not sure what is going on but after the second crash (which was when I tried to load my save file), I cannot recommend this. I love these older titles, but with newer systems, they just don't work all that well. I don't think this is a simple fix either, these kinds of maintenance updates have to come from the developers, not GOG. A few hours in, I had to uninstall it, I cannot risk my computer as I also work on it, and hard crashes are never a good thing.
This game crashes non-stop, it's past the refund date, stuck with this dud now. I have Windows 11 and it won't even get past the intro story, so I cannot even get to the gameplay. I updated the game, disabled full screen optimization, still nothing. I think this game should be taken OFF the GOG store and properly retested until it is working properly. If you're looking to buy this, don't.
