[Score: 7/10]. Gameplay & Presentation: Fun time. The graphics and the new snowy city look beautiful. I like how they added those electric jumps and dashes to the web-swinging. I like the combat, the surplus of enemies along with the addition of crowd-control based electric powers was REALLY fun to play with. The story is…

[Score: Strong 6/10]. Okay. I’m going to replay this game on a higher action and puzzle difficulty sometime…but damn man, I’m so mixed on this game. I’m very happy I played it, don’t get me wrong. It was a very unique experience, and an incredible narrative was presented to me. Narrative & Themes I guess…

[Score: Light 8/10]. First Playthrough — 6/10 Overview & First Impressions I’ve played the game multiple times years ago but never finished it. This time I want to fully play through it. The game has a lot of good ideas and fundamentals. The combat is fun enough, the guns are fun to shoot, the enemy…

The characters are NOT groundbreaking and wholly unique – and I think anyone who says this needs to read a sci-fi book – but its pacing, its well-fleshed out characters, and world are…

[Score: Light 7/10]. Movement & Physics I love this game. The movement and platforming is so much fun. NOW, this game is SO MUCH MORE FUN when using Tracker’s Physics (even though it breaks some Cyberspace stages). The default movement is pretty fun (apart from Cyberspace, the movement works but is pretty bad compared to…

[Score: Light 8/10]. Overview Amazing mix of old school and tactical shooting. Story is corny and cheesy, but the characters add so much charm. It definitely reminds me of DOOM 2016, and in a way I can say it’s the “grand-daddy” of the return of old-school shooters. Funny how history repeats itself. Story & Characters…

[Score: Strong 5/10]. Level Design: I can see the vision, but this game’s level design keeps shooting it in the foot. Both incredibly frustrating, but sometimes incredibly fun. The level design in this game is incredibly vertical, and VERY obstructive. It feels less like a level and more of an obstacle course because it feels…
