DUKE'S BIG STEEL BALLS CAN'T HOLD UP THE HORRIBLE GAMEPLAY

Let's get one thing straight: the game is absolutely mediocre and is the child of troubled development, so it's only natural that it's not perfect.

Let's talk about the positives: the Duke is in better shape than ever and is ready to rock. The voice acting is excellent and in general it is the charisma of the character that drives the story forward.

The story is mediocre without any particular twists or great flashes of imagination, it almost seems as if there was no clear direction on how to develop it.

Gameplay: the gameplay is unfortunately horrible. Duke is wooden to control and looks like something out of an early 00s game. The ability to carry a maximum of 4 weapons still reduces the fun and is an insult to the old Duke 3d. The feeling with the weapons in the shooting phases is horrendous and feels like shooting in circles, you can't feel when you've hit a target and even the sounds are nothing special. There is a lack of cover or the ability to use sights or anything else.

Graphics: Graphically, the game is ugly. Lots of aliasing and blurring everywhere, it looks like the first RESISTANCE on the PS3.

Basically a mediocre and disappointing game that should only be played to hear the Duke's irreverent jokes, which always make you smile. Don't fool yourself into thinking that this is a deep and well-written title, because you might be disappointed.

I won't comment on its DLC because I haven't tried it yet.

Rest in peace DUKE
