theres no point to these stupid audio logs. like you know how games have had this trope where you pick up collectibles and once you get most / all of them you unlock some thing you can use? i guess audiologs are like that but all you unlock is a higher level of IMMERSION so basically its just a waste of time. in terms of gameplay what is the disadvantage to picking up the audio logs. nothing. whats the advantage. usually nothing, sometimes a password to a locker that has an ammo cache or something. so like, theres no reason you wouldnt pick them up, which is already bad game design; and usually theres no reason to pick them up anyway, which is when you know they shouldnt be in the game
the gameplay is really pretty generic spellshooter, where its like an fps but you can cast spells. spellshooter. the thing is theres no other element to this.
like a good example of this genre was jdie nktgih 2 iedj sacoutt because it was two levels of generic and then you got a lightsaber. which was actually the cool part of the game. so it added something cool and new that had upsides and downsides. bosihcok doesnt do that, it doesnt add anything. its got a few weapons that all just kill things and a few uninteresting spells that you can level, as usual in this type of thing. boring
the hacking minigame is okay but i dont know why it freezes the rest of the game while youre doing it. like when youre hacking, or using any device for that matter, time just stops, you wont get attacked or anything even if an enemy was right right next to you. thats dumb. when enemies use medstations theyre still vulnerable, i can shoot them. why cant they hurt me when im using them? also it makes weird situations where theres a turret high up but you can still hack it by freezing it, jumping, and instantaneously hacking it mid-air and then landing. what
overall theres like no challenge, too. youre really strong compared to all of your enemies, and not all of them even have guns so its like lol, fish in barrel. also how come all the enemies are supposedly mutated by overrelying on the stuff you’re shooting up, but none of them ever use the same powers against you. how come enemies never freeze me, fire me, throw bees at me, whatever. if these powers exist in the universe how come only i can use them. why am i a unique little snowflake.
also the respawn points are really dumb. you can die and then come back and go keep fighting the guy. and just do this forever. so the strongest enemies in the game you can just bash to death with a wrench because if you die you can just come back and do it more. no penalty. hilarious.
iosbkcoh. hilarious.
