[h1] Summary [/h1] [table] [tr] [th]Category[/th] [th]Perception[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]Level design[/td] [td]Very straight forward with a few optional rooms and corridors to find supplies[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Art[/td] [td]Boring, sterile environments lacking details, decals and effects. UI is really bland and each weapon have a poorly cropped jpeg picture in the upper right corner[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Sound design[/td] [td]Bad sound design. Lack of music variety[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Story[/td] [td]Tries staying mysterious at first, but then gets bored of itself and reveals the twist in a single cutscene. The AI you're getting aid from can not tell you much at first. Then all of a sudden, it can. Overall poor pacing of the story.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Gameplay[/td] [td]Run and shoot type of gameplay with the occasional key or button finding[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Bugs/glitches[/td] [td]Frequent crashes. cutscenes randomly stop working, you can reload many of the guns even while the magazine is full, ammo counter and how much you're actually firing are not synced on guns such as the SMG, enemies can glitch through walls, shooting your ally in the last level crashes the game[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Other issues[/td] [td]Horrific and random recoil. The SMG for example, is less effective than the shotgun because having some distance from an enemy will make you hit everything but the enemy you're aiming at. Game also does not have headshot damage and the moment you get a new gun, pretty much all other guns become useless, except for the grenade launcher, that weapon is useless to begin with since it takes so long to reload and sometimes can't kill a simple enemy with one hit[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Length[/td] [td]I finished the game in less than 2 hours. That includes retrying levels due to crashes. A level can be as short as ~2 minutes, so you're going to see loading screens a lot[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Worth it?[/td] [td]No[/td] [/tr] [/table] [h1] Conclusion [/h1] Unless you really want those trading cards, or want to get this game as part of a bad games collection, I would certainly not recommend this one. It's a buggy mess. Getting a game over meant all cutscenes stopped working and the next level would surely crash. I got so used to crashes I ended up saving right before I finished a level just in case it would crash while loading. There are two enemy types in the entire game. Brain dead (but insanely accurate) soldiers, and one necropmorph reject. Not the worst game I have ever played, but it's definitely high up on the list. If the bugs were fixed, it would be a mediocre FPS. Now it's unfortunately a mess.
