The game is really below average in my eyes and could have been so much more, it left me pretty irked the more I thought about it. I like the idea of how melee combat works, but not too long, it just becomes a dodging stimulator with not that much strategy other than dodging left and right and beating up the enemy. It kinda reminds me of Punch Out, except with much less substance, and the fact that they are only a handful of enemy types in the entire game makes this issue all the more apparent to me. As a survival horror game, there’s little to no resource management, something I love in other games of its genre and the game is so linear that there’s not even in a game map. I also went into this game knowing that it ends on a cliffhanger and the DLC is even more egregious because it basically ends with the twist that all the events of Transmission are just a dream of a dying Jacob. So with that mind, I can’t even really enjoy the story knowing that it won’t get resolved due to the lukewarm to negative reviews and commercial failure of this game. I only played this because it was a free download for my PS Plus subscription, if I had paid full price for this game, I would have been absolutely livid, it’s highway robbery with what the game offers and other better games to play over this one.
