This was basically a paid tech-demo for a bigger, more complete game. It was fairly popular when it came out for some fucking reason. The animations, the weapons, the sounds, the cutscenes - all feel very cheap, it was like this was made by a mobile game studio. Kinda ironic, since the developer of this game is originally Chinese. The gameplay is uninspired and repetitive, the only good thing I can say about this game is that it was easy to Platinum.

Loved the story in this and the cutscenes were just breathtaking to look at they were almost photorealistic. By gameplay means, this was no WaW. It is not gritty by any means and doesn't show you the true colors of war, the only time this game made feel something was once. On the other hand, mission variety is kind of nice, and I like how no 2 missions are alike by any means. Overall, pretty good. Multiplayer and Zombies was embarasingly bad, but, whatever.

My god, looking at the early versions of this game and seeing what it could have been just absolutely breaks my heart - that after 12 years this is what fans of the series get. What an absolute slap in the face. DLC was straight up ass, wasn't even worth the $0.50 I paid for it.

Super cool, there was nothing like it at the time - Puzzles were fun and the story was nice, OST was banging and the DLC was very hearty and introduced some extra challenge. Replayability is extremely high with this and + it helped me pass my OS course in college by teaching me the basics of UNIX. Fucking biblical.

Very nostalgic times, I used to love playing these games on flash game websites back in the day. Trying to spot all the different references and the humour was top notch. Completing the Mission was really, really fun and it felt like there was a lot of heart and soul put into it.

Gameplay was fantastic, RPG mechanics were very nice and a welcome addition to the game, the elemental weapons were very fun to use - ESPECIALLY the DLC ones, and the sense of progression was very satisfying. Had a good time Platinuming this one, Gonna play the next installment very soon.

Meh, nice little game to dick around in.

Sense of progression is nice, but the gameplay loop is not fun at all and is very repetitive.

Very fun and unique boomer shooter, but, it is extremely SHORT. Like maybe 3 HOURS of gameplay, MAX. Not worth.

Anxiety inducing to the MAX, especially Insane mode. DLC was pretty good too, gameplay and length-wise. Very iconic game.

GO PLAY THIS GAME NOW. All I have to say.

The best and most realistic weapons simulation in any game EVER. The voice actor does an amazing job with the script he's been given. This game is challenging to the MAX, and it is a very fun kind of challenge don't get me wrong. The lore is amazing and is absolutely limitless, The Compound is fun to dick around in and complete challenges and puzzles.

Story was very unique and interesting, Gameplay was challenging and genuinely frightening. It was missing some of that Frictional Games "touch" but, still it was pretty good.

The gameplay is nothing short of a walking simulator but it is VERY SURREAL, like, VERY VERY SURREAL. And the narrator does a good job enforcing that.

Nice and varied gameplay, the horror was psychological rather than having some cheap Jumpscares, even though there was some in this game, but it is no biggie. The story was Fantastic, might I add; and the twist, fucking amazing. The puzzles were very nice and required some critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
