You get a crouch button, but no real cover system outside of that. You execute not-quite-dead people to regain health. There was nothing quite like tossing a grenade into a garage and watching it all go up in flames. It makes the game feel dark and bleak and empty, as it should. It's got this Sin City-style black and white and shades of red that I really dig. It's a shame, because even at low settings, the game actually looks alright. I'm sorry, but it was the best I could do with the game in this state. I was only able to clock in 58 minutes according to Steam. I had restart the level and turn down the difficulty to Easy to get anywhere, and at about my fourth attempt to beat the level my game froze again and I decided enough was enough. Tweaking settings didn't fix it, going to Windowed mode didn't fix it, moving away from the area didn't fix it. Repeat until I died, helpless to do anything about it. Why? Because whenever I reached a low health state, the game would freeze. My game was so broken that I couldn't finish the first level. I would normally just blame my machine for this, but during Totalbiscuit's impressions video, even on his famously monstrous rig, the game would not go above 30 FPS no matter what he did to it. I don't have a FPS counter, but I'd take a safe bet that it was well below 30 at the best of times. Knowing that this was a game running on Unreal 4, I immediately set everything to low. Bear this in mind when you read the next part. Even with everything on rock-bottom settings, the game ran like ass.īit of disclosure here: I played this on a Toshiba A10 Quad-core laptop. But I assure you, ladies and gentlemen, they most certainly did. That seems like a hard formula to mess up. You shoot people, stab them, set them on fire, blow them up with grenades. When soldiers show up-you guessed it-you do your best to perforate those guys as well. When the SWAT show up, you kill them too. You go out and kill innocent people in a variety of settings. You play as a long-haired freak in a trenchcoat.
