| The_Scarecrow 06/05/20 4:20:54 PM #1: | 5/10 tbh I am very glad that I bought this game for $4. If I had purchased it upon release for $60 plus tax, I would be far more disappointed. The game is incredibly short. My final time clocked at around 7 hours or so and that's with the Platinum trophy. Entire chapters were just cutscenes. The player is given no incentive to replay the game at all unless they really want to give Hard mode a spin if they haven't done so on the first playthrough. The gameplay is very generic and uninspired. It feels like a huge afterthought instead of being one of the main draws of the game. The science weapons are neat but other games have done the concepts better such as the Wunderwaffe DG-2 in Call of Duty. Every encounter in the game plays out the same. Take cover and eliminate the enemies. Oh, a shotgunner? Kill him first since he's approaching in the open without taking cover. There's so few enemy types in the game. It's painful. The developers really should have taken advantage of the folklore elements. We had werewolves. We should have been able to fight vampires and other creatures as well. The story felt underdeveloped and ended up being disappointing despite having potential. This universe of steampunk London where you have Knights at the Round Table fighting Half Breeds or basically creatures from fairy tales is cool. However, there's no real payoff at the end. Most of the twists and story beats can be guessed from a mile away. I'd like for this universe to be fleshed out but that will probably never happen. Voice acting is pretty good. Too good for this game. The graphics and visuals are very good as well as the production value. I'm not going to be a huge stickler for level design as this is a linear game. Soundtrack is unremarkable. I wish I spent that $4 on ice cream instead. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
