Elite Knight

Great graphics and animations, atmosphere is decent too but that’s all the positives I have to say about it. The story and it’s characters are bland and forgettable, art style is generic to the point you could be forgiven for mistaking a screenshot of it for one of the futuristic call of duty’s. Combat is clunky and not fun, like it was designed for 1 on 1 scenarios against slower enemies, this being said you’ll often be overwhelmed by 3-4 enemies at a time and they all move FAST as well as taking a lot of hits to finish off. Guns do not feel good to use feeling weak and fragile and the ‘boss’ encounters are literally just the same 2 bosses repeated, 4 for one and 2 for the other. As for performance, on day one it crashed on me 5 times and there was constant stuttering and audio popping throughout the entire game, though these issues will probably get patched out in later updates. I think I am also partly to blame as knowing that the team were that created this game also created the first Dead Space game I had high expectations. To summarise: mashed potatoes in game form.

Mid. Having racked up 55 hours on the game at this point the only good things I have to say about this game are that the art style is decent and the soundtrack isn’t bad. The persuasion system is probably the best it’s ever been in this type of game but the conversations are so monotonous that I got sick of talking to people. The combat and Ai mechanics are tired at this point and the game itself is just boring, when compared to most releases that have come out in the same genre even a decade ago it shamefully falls short.
