There's absolutely nothing redeeming about this one. While some concepts in the campaign and gameplay mechanics can be interesting, they all feel incomplete and broken. Even aiming in this game is a nightmare on a controller. Change the settings all you want, but you will never find any configuration that feels right.

Besides, even if this game were to work the way it intended, what's so special about it? Nothing. If anything, it tries to copy CS:GO but fails miserably. The graphics and UI are uninspired and completely looks like every generic 7th gen shooter mashed into a grey, bland monstrosity. Not even worth trying on Game Pass.

Um exemplo onde o jogo tenta disfarçar os seus defeitos com um nome famoso e gráficos de alta qualidade. IA dos inimigos é totalmente quebrada, ou são muito burros ou simplesmente enxergam pela parede, e tudo isso se complica com o recoil dos tiros q não se mostram consistentes em nenhum momento e com nenhuma arma, isso só piora mais ainda quando vc joga o multiplayer q estava totalmente quebrado no lançamento.

No final de tudo é um jogo q sonhou em inovar os fps, com mecânicas de tiro de COD mas o andamento de uma partida de CS, oq simplesmente é uma mistura de água com óleo, gerando apenas um fracasso e uma mancha no nome crossfire, na remedy q já fez outros jogos sensacionais e nos exclusivos do XBOX.

Played for two hours and... No. Theres something just so unfinished and clunky about the entire experience. The controls feel slow and unresponsive and there just isnt enough content in the game to warrant any sort of extensive playtime. Its just a total misfire.

Add in a small selection of completely broken perks and a selection of secondary weapons that feel like a bunch of pea shooters and you have a title that so desperately wants to rival Call of Duty yet has no idea how to actually do that.

The remedy is the experience
This is the dangerous liaison (I says)
The comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
Well it all amounts to nothing in the end

NOTE: I did not play the multiplayer because I had zero interest in it. These comments/my score are only in reference to the first SP campaign, Operation Catalyst.

I was actually one of the few people interested in this game for a couple reasons - I love Remedy, and I have a soft spot for CoD style campaigns (minus the blatant pro-American-military propaganda CoD has become more and more of over time).

My brother and I played this at around the same time and came to literally the same conclusion - I don't think this is a 3/10 like IGN said (and I think their views of the campaign were colored by their very negative MP experience). But it's not very good either. It's just kinda...there.

What I played of the campaign follows a pretty standard CoD-esque formula - lots of ambushes, dramatic slo-mo, some character swapping for specific moments. The game looks fine, but the weirdest thing is that the controls and shooting feel like they all suffer from a half second of input delay. I was eventually able to adjust to it but it feels weirdly clunky compared to Control. The story is generic and sadly doesn't have anywhere near the amount of Remedy Weirdness (TM) that the trailers teased.

I don't think this game is an offensive blemish on Remedy's gameography like it's being made out to be but it's also not anything special and feels like mercenary work the team did to fund more Control and Alan Wake games. Unless you're really in the mood for some CoD style shooting, it's a safe skip.
