If you liked the game Generation Zero then you'll like this game as it has a similar atmosphere and music to it as well as a likeness in difficulty so you run out of health fast against the machines and it's fun and satisfying to play too because unlike fighting humans with these type of games you are destroying metal and hitting their weak spots such as the red eye that glows like a beacon.
You can decide to go stealth or go flying bullets. There are different kinds of enemies too such as spider scouts being the easiest but strongest as a pack with predictable behavior patterns such as detection with red being the worst so you can choose to fight or flight but you can easily become outnumbered and get yourself in a pickle so it would be wise to use the ultraviolet vision to see through walls etc.
You play as Jacob Rivers the main important person part of the resistance, scavenging for supplies and looking out for survivors, keeping low and kicking tin cans! You get to interact with characters if prompted to affect the future of the story and you also get assigned side quests with your main quests. This game feels like a standalone terminator movie and picks up well on the camps and events.
If you ain't in the mood for long cut scenes and movies and enjoy collecting items in post apocalyptic world's then this is a great game to jump into as it keeps it brief, realistic and always on the move and the characters have strong personalities too, the scripts are well written and it isn't a drag so it doesn't keep you forever in conversations and if your personality is witty like mine and bored easily then you'll keep up well with the wittiness tied in with action as well as plenty of opportunities to lockpick locks. What's not to like!
