| I don't get why so many people are giving this game 5-stars GOTY ratings. Once you get past the initial pizzaz of the presentation, it's incredibly rote and repetitive. Roboquest is way more fun.
This feels more like a rail-shooter than an FPS. Combat is usually in cramped hallways where you have little to no room to maneuver. It's all about reacting before the enemy has time to shoot, mostly by memorizing room layouts. (eg. this is the room where an enemy will drop from the ceiling in front of this fan blade, so start dash-kicking to kill them the instant they appear, then up on the left an enemy will drop next to this fire extinguisher so get it in your sights for the instakill, repeat ad nauseum). It's not even a proper Hotline Miami clone because while death can come suddenly, you don't get instant recovery. Some levels and boss fights force you to bang the skip key through mountains of dialog every restart. While this game undeniably has one of the coolest title screen movies with a fantastic 80s sax song, once you're in the game it just turns garish. Your gun-loading animations and the basic enemies wearing white leisure suits are the only bit of 80s anime aesthetic, everything else is just ugly and incoherent. Even the music takes a nosedive into generic once the gameplay starts. The gameplay is undeniably fast, (after finishing the game my wrist was throbbing like I'd given myself an RSI), but it doesn't FEEL fast. Negative! |
