I had trouble deciding whether to recommend this, but ultimately I don't. This game starts out very slowly, presents itself with nothing remarkable throughout, and is confusing from start to finish -- for better or worse. To put it simply, this game stands out in no ways beyond the story. The gameplay draws the worst of elements from every badly-done 3rd person shooter of the past 20 years. The guns feel like pea shooters, there is constant grenade spam, the controls are god awful, and perhaps the worst part is the TERRIBLE sticky cover system which caused many frustrating deaths. The audio design is terrible as well, with the soundtrack being terribly mixed, and the cutscenes being 400% louder than the rest of the game.

I don't want to spoil anything about the story, but it certainly has some amount of appeal. The overall synopsis is very confusing until the ending, but I'm not sure if the story being even remotely good could save this awful slog of a game, which would be better off as a book.

The multiplayer is garbage and not even worth an afterthought.

3 or 4/10
