Legendary is almost a decent game.
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version

It's clearly a lower budget title from 2008, it has ambitions and it aims for a cool spectacle littered with set piece moments but sadly it's just not enough for a fully compelling game. Gunplay is surprisingly decent, guns also sound fairly fine and beefy, but the mouse default sensitivity is just god awful, it's extremely overly sensitive and turning it down makes aiming sluggish and slow leading to tracking enemies while aiming down sights a misery, clearly devs didn't put full effort into PC version.

Still blasting enemies is cheap thrills kinds of fun mostly. Enemies are only challenging if you run into a group of them like a headless chicken and forget you're losing health, other than that they're just part of the shooting gallery. One small but nice thing was there's no regenerating health, there were few times I was on my last legs but came through, killed the beasts, got their animus energy and survived which felt good.

Premise of the game in itself is interesting, but story is extremely generic, made worse by subpar dialogue and voice acting, making the serious tone of the game pretty cringy most of the time. Deckard himself has to …

Premise of the game in itself is interesting, but story is extremely generic, made worse by subpar dialogue and voice acting, making the serious tone of the game pretty cringy most of the time. Deckard himself has to be the most forgettable protagonist I've ever played as, even Kane & Lynch got more personality than this guy, rest of the cast don't fair any better.

9 years on game's graphics haven't aged that well, though they're serviceable and won't make you puke, I guess back in 2008 it was decent looking game, but there are games from that time that have aged far better. Performance wise, game ran at locked 60 fps on maxed settings, however there are no individual graphics options, just one slider ranging from Very Low to Very High, again showing simple straight up console port effort. At the end game I also ran into this game's infamous elevator bug which denied the progression, but it was fixed by simple change in game's config file as I found out on its Steam group's forum. Thanks, guys!

This game got a bad rap, but I actually thought it was decent. Had its problems, but I liked it better than Resistance 2. Kind of a cross between DOOM and Dark Sector.
