An Enjoyable Ride

The best aspect of this game is the cool superhuman powers that you acquire as the game progresses. I actually played through this game multiple times to try out the different powers. There is something extremely satisfying in being able to dispatch wave after wave of enemies with your powers. There are also multiple types of weapons to use. The more you use a weapon, the greater your skill. The same applies to your superhuman powers. Levelling up in a skill unlocks abilities. However, I found myself primarily using the superhuman powers once I acquired them.

The voice acting is perfect. The music is the best you will ever hear in a video game. The graphics are okay but probably require a bit more polish. The character models are unique and nice to look at, though. The story is extremely engrossing. I must warn you that there is a cliffhanger ending that leaves you craving for more. However, I am disappointed to hear that there will not be a continuation to this saga anytime soon :(

In my opinion, the only drawbacks in this game are some vehicle driving sequences which feel kind of flat and unexciting.

Overall, I enjoyed this game tremendously. Give this third person shooter a try. Furthermore, if you love sci-fi, you won't be disappointed.
