Gimmicky and one note, the interesting atmosphere of Cruelty Squad becomes obsolete less than an hour into the game. In this game that doesn't know if it wants to be an action or stealth game, it becomes a mediocre middleground where enemies kill you as fast as you kill them, making your realistic options either to play it too slow in these giant almost mazelike maps, or go in guns-blazing and dying over and over in an absolutely mind numbing trial-and-error method of approach.

Killing enemies, especially targets, has 0 weight to it - enemies lack any kind of response nor does the game give any kind of engagement, it's just something you do to proceed to the next level. I feel no success or satisfaction pulling off a feature that should be obligatory for any shooter game, so this alone is such a disappointment. The designs of guns don't look anything remarkable, and the sound effects give no personality to them either. How could an FPS game let its core feature be so bland?

And regrettably, there's no question about it, the music is forgettable. It might add just a bit to the "weird" atmosphere the game has going for it, but that's all there is to it. It does not give you any feelings of what you are up against, like in old Doom games, where the metal MIDI is full of colorful heavy and high rhyme that really establishes this idea of being a warrior in the face of a demonic horde. It's sad to see an FPS game have such lackluster care for the OST

This game is there for those that have overly enthusiastic needs to relive childhood trauma of glitched out buggy PS1 games, but to call it an overall fun game let alone a must play is such a misleading comment.... don't romanticize meme games like this please
