Went into this with very low expectations and ended up having a blast. Tight gunplay and a shockingly good story elevate this to one of the best 3rd-person shooters of its generation. An overlooked gem.

The Machine Age has begun in the immersive and atmospheric squad-based shooter Binary Domain. Regain control of a futuristic Tokyo from an emerging robotic threat in the year 2080. The story starts when Dan Marshall and his squad are sent to bring the robotic community under control as they begin to infiltrate society and slowly take over undetected, leaving humans redundant in their wake. Fighting through the derelict lower levels of the city, players control an international peace-keeping squad that soon starts to question their surroundings and the choices they make. Are the robots becoming more human, or are humans becoming more like machines?
Thrilling encounters with these highly intelligent robotic enemies require you to think tactically, make challenging, real-time moral decisions and build up trust with your team mates in order to guide your squad to safety and success.

Played this up to Chapter 4 now for the last few days. Its a decent TPS, nothing special really but the story is quite engrossing and the characters are all interesting (my fav is the cool French-speaking robot Cain).

Early on I started to notice how this game has a certain over-the-top aura to it, as if it was not made by standard western developer. Apparently it was made by RGG studio, the folks behind Yakuza.

I... kind of like this game a lot. At first I thought it was terrible - I hated the characters so much and the story seemed kind of meh. But at some point I got caught up in the fun of shooting robots to bits and it has won me over completely. I don't even hate Big Bo screaming "Sweet!" …

Why does all games from Japan need to have the shittiest checkpoint sistem ever ?
Besides.
It was a very good game tho.

Just finished yet another playthrough of Binary Domain. Still a great game. I had forgotten that besides having a really solid gameplay, the story ,even though it's also complete nonsense, kind of works in it's own way. I mean, the plot is ridiculous, but I can see how the overarching themes are worthwhile.

I'm replaying this game for the third time. After so many years, not only it held up very well, but i argue that it's better than ever.
