    The point you made at the end is very true. AAA gaming has boiled down to the same shit over and over to appeal to the widest audience possible. You want to play a specific style of game? I can almost guarantee there is an indie game that fits that niche perfectly.

      It's nothing like Quake. Quake gives you a sense of progress and there's strategy built into it - lots of action but you get time to "take a breather" and think about how you'll overcome the next obstacle. What's the progress here? You're just constantly moving and jumping around randomly.

    This really is the movement shooter dreams are made of. Yeah it might not have tightly designed levels like Doom Eternal or Ultrakill, but what it offers is open ended sand-boxy challenges which is perfect when you have this sort of mobility. It's not worried about anything other than giving the players freedom and fun, the simplicity of that is beautiful. My only real complaint with the game is the generic look of everything. I do wish it had a more distinct art style but it's gameplay more than makes up for it!

    I've legitimately spent more time with the demo for this than any other FPS this year. I hardly ever buy games on day one but you'd better believe I was all over this one the instant it went on sale. So far the full game is pretty much the demo with a few tweaks here and there but I have zero complaints about replaying those same areas-the game world is so incredibly open that I rarely find myself taking the same route even from a respawn. This'll almost definitely be my game of the year.

  • @spazzyphantasm
    @spazzyphantasm 2 дня назад +3

    Interesting game for sure, but the sterile, generic look to everything makes the game look pretty soulless. The environments are fine, a solid 6/10 but the above average look to the setting is completely ruined by the UI, and the character designs that look like they came from a game called Shoot the Bad Men. Those mecs and airships are a crime against steel and brass. The player character looks like the default UE character model. I'm not a stickler on fidelity but art direction is very important to me. This game just looks off. Looking into Severed Steel, I see the devs have a far greater grasp on that neon /clean corporate look. Severed Steel also seemed to have a greater grasp on character design with the player character, it's okay but still not a winner. The arm cannon really doesn't look good for one. Way too much black on the outfit. The enemies do leave a bit to be desired still however. I'm watching this on a big 4k tv and the enemies in both games enemies are not very distinct or quickly recognizable unless they are glowing or have a massive object strapped to them ( sometimes a mix of both a sword and glowing shield for example). You can look at the silhouette of any enemy in Halo and you'll know what it is. The same for Doom, Quake, Blood, Duke Nukem, Cultic, Dusk, I could go on but the point still stands. It's a shame I think this will hold the Devs back, because many people truly judge a game its looks without even the chance grasping the gameplay. Gameplay being the main seller here. They need to truly look into bettering their character designs.

    It's very fast and very pretty but otherwise it looks like a completely confused mess of a game. If you're having to constantly keep moving, where's the opportunity to think about the next strategy?
    This is the problem with today's media, it's the same with many modern movies - throw special effects and action at you constantly but not give you any breathing space to think about what you're watching or doing in case you realise how shallow it all is.
    Doom 2016 was exactly the same - constant visceral gore, no time to think about what you're doing, it wasn't a Doom game in the true sense.
