Patriot: DemocratiZation

besides the fact that this game is shameless, self-masturbatory revenge fantasy in the form of a FPS (although the story bit of oil giants messing everything up is true to reality), the fact that one of the music tracks for the levels uses the same exact drum sample library that the composer for Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing used has fully embedded itself in my brain. this game is maximum WINNER.

Самый лучший шутер из когда либо вышедших, но духовно нищие плачут и не выкупят

From the crew that brought you Operation Matriarchy, one of my guilty pleasures, comes Patriot: DemocratiZation, the only other FPS they ever did... and it's something! No wait, actually it's nothing! This is an absolutely nothing game. Operation Matriarchy was a beautifully disgusting Giger-esque visual experience stuck inside an awfully mediocre first-person shooter that had just enough charm and weird sicko ♥♥♥♥ going on that I felt compelled to keep going despite it's lacklustre gameplay. Patriot: DemocratiZation is a bland and ugly visual experience stuck inside a boring and monotonous first-person shooter that pissed me off with just how little it does with the medium, especially considering what the developers had previously done. All the hallmarks of a MADia FPS are here — parts of the story/cool tidbits are disseminated through loading screens, gunplay and enemy reaction feels non-existent, you float through the air when you walk down stairs or off a ledge — and it's an absolute doozy. There's some plot here involving the US invading Russia with our beloved protagonist tasked with taking on the American Invaders to stop them from getting Russia's precious oil... I think? There are cutscenes but they're all in Russian without any subtitles so I'm stuck just guessing what these greasy 3D models are yapping about. It's Russian propaganda but hey whatever who cares? If you run in the same circles as I do (i.e. you like to play ♥♥♥♥♥♥ FPS games from the 2000s) then you probably know that even the worst of the worst games have their defenders, but this... I don't know. It's got some positive reviews on Steam but man I really don't understand how anyone could defend this. Thankfully it took me 75 minutes to beat so it's not a huge investment. Play Operation Matriarchy first, then if you crave more of what this studio has to offer play wit ya balls or sumn.

A pretty fun "jank" shooter - it leans heavily on the jank to the point of being a little jarring at first, but once you get into the flow of the game it's an entertaining experience with a few interesting environment designs. The alternate timeline premise of the game is interesting although potentially Russian propaganda in its message, so avoid the game if that will bother you. Also, it's really short - I finished it in about 1.5 hours, so I recommend buying on sale and playing in a single sitting if you feel like some light entertainment with a retro fps flavour.
