Invention 4

So, I will start by saying that I have actually played through all of the previous Invention games. The first one was decent and after that they steadily became worse. From the trailer for this game it looked as if they had tried something new and also once again tried to actually make something decent. Now that I have played and hour of this game I will gladly take that back. The story in this game is so bad it's almost good. Granted the native language for the game seems to be russian. But the english translation is just pure trash. Sometimes comically so though. Also for some reason the main voice of the hero is a Geralt of Rivia copy. Now what about the gameplay? Well, the entire game is one giant escort mission. Yup, the type of mission most of us hate in every other game. That's the entire game as far as I can tell. You move from monster closet room to monster closet room and have to kill a set number of enemies before you can move on. The AI of the ally is horrible and often runs through walls or zaps across the room. Also often running towards the enemies. The gun play is OK but some of the later enemies are frustratingly hard to hit. They can come close enough to get under your guard and you can't jump... yeah. I died during stage 3 and the button to "Try again" did not work. So I had to back out and load. There is no option to save in game. Turns out the game wanted me to redo 3 of the frustrating monster closet rooms at that point. Not something I felt inclined to do. So after playing this for an hour and some I reached the conclusion that this is not worth my time. If you enjoy escort missions this might be a funnier game for you than it was for me. I will however give it a weak 2/5 and leave it at that.
