/vr/ - Retro Games

I don't think I'm going to be able to finish this in time. It's not impossible to play and I'm guessing it can easily be completed with enough dedication but it's got problems out the bunghole.

The levels are absurdly long, the layouts make no sense and they're not fun to play through. Combat is a chore, even with the aiming reticule trying to line up a shot is cumbersome. The visuals are cluttered as hell, important switches and keycards blend into the surroundings. The majority of your tacti-cool moves like sidestep, roll and even running are useless. Grid based movement in a real time action game is just a horrendously poor design choice. I expected much better from Origin but this is not something I can recommend. However, I will finish it one day for completion sake and also because I dropped ten bucks on both games on GoG.

Time for a few days break and then back to NES I go.
