What a Shame
i want to play it because I'm just so curious what was attempted here, its got some interesting ideas but its like, i don't know how to put it in words, how bad it is
none of the weapons make sense. 'gas hands' really? or the shotgun that just doesn't stop shooting. you have this weird stat menu level up …

none of the weapons make sense. 'gas hands' really? or the shotgun that just doesn't stop shooting. you have this weird stat menu level up system that just is in the way everything is dark, everything hurts. everything explodes around you, you have companions that are called 'sidekicks' (okay cool) but they will travel through the map and get killed and have to be present to change the map when you get to the end of the level... so i think i will just quit because I've been quick saving and my sidekick is simply gone :D Nope, still in it. Got through these map cycles...
also, tons of switches. lots of blobs and computers, panels, etc. grates to shoot. wires to shoot. exploding corners. all sorts of tricky little shitty puzzles in the maps lol
This is basically the antichrist of Half-Life... where Half-Life did everything that is a gold standard in an FPS, this game did everything you should basically not do in an FPS, like jumping puzzles. and god damn it John Romero do my companions actually have to do the jumping puzzles too? Well, that's the last straw i'm quitting, i'm done being your bitch! Escape. Enter. Yes.
Strange, the guy who made doom, you'd think it would be good, i even recognize some music from doom in the map i just got through... its just slowed down and made real creepy (the music is awesome and the setting is really cool)
its just a big mess of a game that did not age well, and i don't know what they were smoking when they cobbled this shit together.
The tone of this game is a fun cyberpunk gore filled nightmare neon-lit fever dream clashing against the likes of Unreal, Prey, Deus Ex and other legends. It's too bad the quality is lacking.
