As a FPS game it's rock solid and it throws in some other elements for good measure. Yes; the story is kinda cool, but the narrative is nothing special in most places and borderline silly in others. The best part is the atmosphere and the sfx imo, but it falls short on many gameplay aspects I'm afraid. Feel free to PM me if anyone wants a more indepth reasoning behind all this, it might sound ludicrous otherwise, seeing the blazing reviews it got! Not a bad game at all, but certainly not the revolution we were promised, by a long shot. |
Actually, as an FPS it was pretty bad. Since it did the really cool living world thing where there were no real encounters just about every encounter except the planned one felt very boring and repetetive after only a 1/3 of the way through the game.
Even the enemies themselves started to get a little boring by the end of the game. Still though, it's a great a game, just not a great shooter.
