Agent 64: Spies Never Die

Very close to greatness. It's extremely fun on the campaign side. Colors and Lighting is very well placed and catch the mood quite good. Definitely a Thumbs up on the music aswell. Some levels are quite tough to almost unfair in my opinion, but this could very well be a skill issue on my end. Brought me back to the Goldeneye Days, but tries to have a little unique spin on it! Absolutely recommend.

Agent 64 stands out as being such a unique game for this day and age. It really feels like I jumped back 20 years and played a new game of that time. It leans into that with it's controls which feel wonky at first but over time I grew to love them. It really gives the game such a unique flavor. Co-op was welcome and a really fun time. The star of the show was the level design and to me it even beats out some of the greats like Doom 2016. The levels all feel unique and what they have you doing feels interactive and not just the same combat encounters with moderately different landscapes around. It's a game with a lot of charm that doesn't overstayed it's welcome and allowed me to re-experience a piece of gaming history (that's at least what it felt like).

This game is on the short side, but it is a masterpiece of retro gaming goodness that all people should at least consider trying. It scratches that Goldeneye/Perfect Dark itch perfectly. My only complaint is that no one is playing the Online multiplayer and that makes me sad.

This game being a "GE64 clone", you would think things like a LARGE weapon roster or even the ability to dual wield (since the combat is extremely basic to begin with, you would think something so small could make it into the game easily.) Another issue is general lack of quality imo, its weird seeing cool details IN THE TRAILER that get undone in the game, not to mention something as simple as the achievement icons are straight up just the games splash art but cropped weird repeatedly? im not one to care too much about that sort of thing, but it doesnt feel like a creative decision and instead feels EXTREMELY LAZY. NOT worth 20$ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dollars. (Also the soundtrack is kinda boring and nowhere near as catchy as the material they were inspired from)

[h1] Após os Soulslike, agora é a era dos Goldeneyelikes! [/h1] Luzes pré definidas, inimigos com rostos repetidos, falta de animações para recargas de armas, texturas borradas, level design às vezes meio "labirinto", jogabilidade travada... E espionagem. Muita espionagem! Indispensável para quem cresceu jogando Goldeneye, Perfect Dark e The World is Not Enough no Nintendo 64. Embora melhor resolução e taxa de quadros, Agent 64 captura perfeitamente a essência e experiência de jogar os clássicos do N64.

I know it's supposed to be like GoldenEye, but some of the later story stuff has me screaming TimeSplitters instead. Either way, it's up to par, even if my times never will be!

So far so good. Currently have beaten just the first three missions on all three difficulties plus each mission's par times, which I swear the first and third missions are already rivaling Goldeneye 007's Facility 00 Agent Target Time in terms of difficulty. That's how you know the devs are balancing the game around old school shooter players.
