Rift Shep

Words can’t describe how badly a beloved studio like Arkane dropped the ball with this release. Broken AI, Buggy as hell, and overall a very bland an uninspired take on the looter shooter genre with a map devoid of life. I am in shock that Arkane studios made one of the most sod awful AAA games ever. Worst game ever is so cliche but this is a legitimate contender for that title when considering this is a first party game that is meant to get you excited for the future of XBOX, and what we got was a window into just how little they care about quality.

It’s a Damon good game but feels like it’s having an identity crisis, it doesn’t know if it wants to be like the original or a generic open world RPG, for example, in the original the combat was very focused on getting creative, the environment was filled with fun traps to make use of the physics like kicking zombies into spikes, these traps are very rare in 2 as the combat is more focused in straight up fights and your abilities. It’s an extra shame as every open world game is an RPG now, enemies having health bars and levels really takes that realistic atmosphere right out of it.
