I vividly recall the marketing and hype for this game back in 2008 as Ubisoft and Sony tried to sell us that this was going to be the "Halo killer", a hilarious claim in retrospect.

Do you remember the atrociousness that was HAZE? I vividly recall the marketing and hype for this game back in 2008 as Ubisoft and Sony tried to sell us that this was going to be the "Halo killer", a hilarious claim in retrospect. I eventually tried the demo and quickly realised it was all hogwash, as did many others, and the game never really ever took off.
As far as gameplay it's just your typical FPS from that era, with muddy graphics and that infamous graphical shine that every title had to have back then. The focus is on Nectar, which you can inject to fire you up and make you an absolute chad, or run low on Nectar and find yourself weak, disillusioned and not being able to tell friend from foe. The writing of the story and the performance of dialogue is just abysmal and facepalm-worthy to no end, and I kinda wish I was wearing that yellow ass mask so you couldn't tell how yellow I feel.
