If you like the Doom Series since 2016, then Metal Eden should be something for you! Fast paced, atmospheric Storyshooter with splendid gunplay and just the right amount of mystery in its story, that keeps you interested enough to listen to it, while climbing and jumping through the levels.
I hate to give this a 3 out of 5 because there's a lot to like here in terms of the gameplay but there's so many nitpicks I have that I have to hedge my recommendation, though I give it a tentative thumbs up for those craving more Doom Eternal - with a few caveats.
Let me just say first and foremost that I am running Metal Eden on a potato. I'm running a 1050 TI with 32 gigs of RAM and I'm still getting a VERY respectable frame rate with very few stutters or hitches. I am not a frame rate snob, but I do play games similar to this and for the most part, Metal Eden runs quite well. I am honestly shocked by how well it runs. I was surprised to learn that it was made using Unreal Engine 5, given how many people have brought up performance issues in games using UE5.
I won't say to not believe the people who have issues with performance - because computer hardware configurations are as unique as the day is long, but given my hardware, I feel like the gameplay experience is absolutely worth recommending for those of you who are interested in a movement shooter that definitely leans on the modern Doom titles.
That being said, there are some pretty significant (and weird) bugs here. If you are the kind of person who can tolerate those types of things and you love movement shooters, absolutely pick this one up. Except...well, I'll come back to that.
For those of you expecting an AAA polished experience where you aren't going to fall through floors (occasionally) or can't deal with getting stuck after a door closes on you, maybe this isn't the game for you. It is not perfect by any means. It is more than a bit janky at times. If I were a bit less charitable, I would say that there's more than a bit of polish that Metal Eden could stand to deal with. I hate to be *that* guy but it definitely feels like it could stand another few rounds of QA.
And I hate to be THAT guy because there's a lot about this that I really like. Frankly, I love movement shooters with double jumps and air dashes. In some ways it feels like this is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. So yeah, I absolutely think it's worth picking up. Maybe not at the $50 price tag it's going for but it's still worth a buy if this is your type of game and you can deal with the rough edges.
Except...
I feel like the one thing that Metal Eden forgot to crib from Doom Eternal and other shooters that it is clearly influenced by is probably it's environment design. And maybe this is the biggest nitpick of them all. Maybe you don't care about environments or art and you're a pure skill gamer whose only interest is the gameplay, This section probably isn't for you. But hey, maybe it is.
I think probably the greatest sin Metal Eden has is in how boring its art design is. And I would imagine that is for a couple of reasons. After all, your level won't run poorly if you don't have much in the way of decoration in it. But the whole game kind of feels like a tunnel broken up by arenas. Except for the times when you're riding the skyhook from Bioshock Infinite. Or doing very basic wallrunning. Like from that one game - Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai or whatever it's called.
Anyway, grab it if it's $15-20.
A real nice looking game, and awesome to play.
Reminds me of DOOM 2016, one of the best shooter in my humble opinion.
Fast-paced but strategic. So far liking it very much!
Don't get me wrong with the title of my review, this game is AWESOME and my real rate is a 5 star, BUT...in my opinion this game owes everything to Doom Eternal...i mean everything in this game is a copy of it and i don't say this in a bad way because i loved DE, but this is the reason why i don't give it the last star, it lacks of soul and originality, but it's worth the money because it's extremely fun.
