We don't get first-person brawlers very often, last one I played was the bizarre piece of Zeno Clash back in 2012.

Breakdown is very unique and fun to play, I was really invested in its sci-fi story with all those unexpected twists and turns. Combat mechanics, although aged and wonky, are really fun, and button combination is pretty decent. Soundtrack is TOP-TIER.

Definitely a game hard to master, I was about to drop half a star because of the ridiculous difficulty spike near the end of the game that absolutely kills the pacing and turns the fun into a tedious shore, but it wouldn't be fair since the rest of the game is excellent and really entertaining.

Another IP Microsoft should definitely dig up from the ground and get it its deserved sequel teased at the finale.
