Writing this review in consideration of the price this game had on a sale (which was only 60-80 cents) and after beating the entire campaign in 2 player co-op.
Every aspect of this game is broken or dysfunctional to some degree:
- movement, very slow and awkward, leaning gives you extra 10 millimeters of sight but locks you in a spot or you might even get stuck in a leaning position because of a bug and spend next 2 minutes of your gameplay as a child with scoliosis.
- weapons, there's a very little choice with what you can use, some of them do feel surprisingly nice. not much to be said.
- audio, guns randomly stop making any noise so you might die to a silent ak, you can't hear enemy footsteps most of the time even when they're running. ambient noises are okay and some weapons sound pretty good if they do work properly.
- ai, arguably the worst and the most broken part of Takedown, some of them are completely braindead where they will look you in the eye, walk past you, start spinning and miss everything. some of them are like cs:go cheaters and instantly beam you as soon as you show them 1 pixel of your character from the most devious angle, even if they were facing in a different direction, even if you were crouching the whole time and using a silencer, you're gonna die.
- stages, somehow very cool, its enjoyable learning them and possible enemy locations you'll be clearing.
- technical issues, couldn't play co-op with a friend without simulating LAN through an external software, alt-tabbing out of a game caused a horrible crash once where even rebooting the computer wouldn't stop the running process and i had to restart windows in a safemode to finally get rid of it, but if you don't alt-tab there are no major issues.

After all that i'm still recommending this pile of ♥♥♥♥. its unintentional difficulty made it very fun and also funny. beating the most awful mission after 2 days of replaying it felt amazing. again, the challenge comes from all the wrong reasons but somehow it can be satisfying. i think we got more than 60 cents worth of fun from here.
