Phantom Fury

I'm torn in giving a score to this review. On one hand this is a top notch boomer shooter in all the essence that it needs to be. The gunplay is crunchy, punchy and has weight, the story is cool, everything in this game is great except for in more than just a few instances your left wondering WTF you have to do to progress. The game does a poor job sometimes in letting you know what items you need to interact with, they certainly dont look like anything special or out of place lol, you finally figure it out but not after youve burnt time trying to figure it out, too much time. That said its not a bad game, quite the contrary. This game is an extremely well made shooter and when its firing on all cylinders its F'ing fun and immersive. It does not deserve the hate that its got - Hopefully the devs make a sequel to this game or another game in the ION FURY universe. I really enjoyed my time with this title. Final Score: 8.5 / 10 - If you like UBER VIOLENT and BRUTAL SHOOTERS you'll be right at home here !

AWFUL LEVEL DESIGN AND THE AUTOSAVES ARE GARBAGE BUT THE SHOOTING IS REALLY NICE

I think this game was really fun. I don’t really understand why it got such lukewarm reviews. It’s not like the first game, which is really good too and more of a tribute to Duke Nukem and similar games. The second one is more like later 3D shooters, they’re just good in different ways.

Une belle aventure pour ceux qui cherchent des jeux de l'époque de Half-life et autres :D

Overall, I enjoyed the game, but it’s a prime example of the whole being less than the sum of its parts. There is plenty to like here, including great vibes, punchy weapons, and clear homages to classics like HL1. However, there are some annoying issues that others have pointed out, like a lack of direction, sometimes not always. Worse, even if you do figure out where to go, the game won't let you progress unless you do it exactly how it was scripted. For example, in one open area, the protagonist has to leave using a transport. Because I took an alternative route to the extraction point, the transport wasn't there. I had to turn back and walk down the "supposed" road just to trigger the enemy spawns and make the vehicle appear. It was incredibly annoying. In short: grab it on sale for the vibes. I leave thumbs up just to nudge it up a bit as it already has mixed reviews.

For better or worse, it is closer to *Duke Nukem Forever* than to *Half-Life*. You might even call it *Ion Fury Forever*.

The game feels... stiff as ♥♥♥♥ in every way.. Encounters are scripted in such a way that the triggers for enemy spawns become incredibly obvious, the enemy AI behavior also leaves a lot to be desired as well. Sometimes when i was fighting hordes of enemies, I would walk backwards where I came from while shooting the approaching horde, which then, on multiple occasion - led to the horde crashing into invisible walls that had been put there to keep the enemies in these sort of pseudo-arenas, while the level design has the design philosophy of a linear boomer shooter I.E - Ion Fury, Cultic, Hrot, Dusk etc. This hybridization design choice was so odd and poorly executed that it just put me off the game completely. It's like the game is trying its hardest to ruin your immersion. The fact that this game is (sort of) a sequel to Ion Fury is laughably sad. If you came from Ion Fury and wanted more, which is understandable as it is some of the best that the genre has to offer... Then don't bother with this one.

Janky, runs a little rough- but not in a way that keeps it from being fun. Wait for a sale and go in with the right expectations, but I don't skip it all together if you loved the first one.

Going from the pixel art of the first game to early era of 3D was a bold move and I really think it paid off. The game looks amazing and you get loads of Half Life vibes travelling through the extremely detailed and believable world. There are loads of weapons that are all really cool and feel impactful, the levels are full of detail and you can interact with everything which is a really nice touch, hell you can ever play a couple of arcade games which is fun. The enemy variety is good but not great, however it is really fun wasting them all as your weapons really feeling like they are hitting them and the animations are great. The story is as good as it needs to be but nothing exactly original, but who cares, nobody plays these games for the story, The game also runs great with no bugs or frame rate drops, I did have one crash in eighteen hours so nothing to complain about. All in all I think this is an amazing sequel and I'm so glad they tried something new with the art style and level progression. Lets hope they made a third one!!
