Ohh man where to start with this game, its so bad that it got me to actually write my first review on here and I keep seeing people talking about how bad it is but nobody actually brings up how terrible it is. This is going to be long so get ready. Lets start with knowing that this is not monolith's fault as GT was being bought out by infogrames at the time and was also filing bankruptcy so they didn't care at all. Monolith wanted more time to work on the game and GT gave them 11 months and shipped whatever they had done. Plot- This plot is absolutely terrible and makes absolutely no sense especially near the end of the game. I know a lot of people say "Well its a shooter so who cares", but its there so why not. The ending makes absolutely no sense and there is no resolution whatsoever! It's very hollow and frustrating. Ohh btw if you play as anyone other than Caleb, the cutscenes will not play leaving you even more lost and making The Chosen worthless unless you feel like replaying this because you like pain or something. Gameplay- Absolutely terrible as well. If you are playing on the easiest skill, which you should be, you can kill enemies in like 1 shot with a pistol. The other 2 skills which are basically hard and don't bother unless you really like frustration have some weird rng system with enemies making some super easy and the rest bullet sponges. The behemoth itself is just a giant bullet sponge. The first boss can kill you in one hit, the gideon fight is super cheap, enemies can shoot you while being shot and explosions and some projectiles go through walls all in all its frustrating and not fun. Caleb is supremely underpowered compared to enemies. Level Design is interesting at first but gets boring and generic later. They reuse 2 levels 3 different times! Do not buy this, its really bad. The nightmare levels make no sense and are also very terrible, they also mess with continuity, so just skip that one altogether. If you have to use Extra Crispy.
