Beautiful designed, atmospheric game with a good story, lots of variety and weapons.
This game is a mixture of Riddick and Halflife 2. If you are a fan of either, this is a must have!
I started the adventure with mixed expectations as I had read a bunch of negative reviews from people who didn't even finish the game. And I must admit that the game started a bit slow and the gun play was not as effective as in other shooters. However, I was also reminding myself, that I used so called "home-made" pre-war guns which was very realistic.
Once I progressed in the game the story pulled me in and I was able to pick up better guns and learn how to use the throwing knife in order to avoid enemy confrontations. Being stealth isn't as easy in this game compared to the Riddick games, but nonetheless it's challenging and fun.
There are an abundance of weapons, ammo, grenades and more to pick up in each level. You never really run out of any of it. I never had to buy anything at the stores, nor did I have to trade anything in. Something that I found pretty strange as the stores were there for a purpose I would think.
I only experienced a few frustrations where I didn't know how to proceed or how to get past a horde of enemies without dying over and over. But thanks to great video walkthroughs on YouTube I was able to overcome that hurdle easily.
The levels are beautiful and fun to explore, so is the hunt for weapons and ammo. The enemies are a nice mix between beasts and humans, so it never gets boring. And besides exploring the tunnels and city on foot you also get to drive the trolleys and solve some puzzles.
The game was shorter than expected. Once I completed it I felt like more!
Don't listen to the negative reviews and give this game a try. You won't be disappointed.
