SPRAWL zero

Not just addicting gameplay, but the world building, art and story are all cool asf. Gonna need multiple play throughs to catch everything. Congrats on the game, ya'll, 10/10.

Really fun core gameplay loop, but it's way too easy, which makes it too easy to start playing mindlessly. I only died three times on the hardest difficulty on my first playthrough and two of them were due to instakill attacks and the last time was on the final boss' final phase. If they just had enemies do twice as much damage, that would be my biggest complaint with the game solved. Also don't love how they just kind of throw you into the middle of the story without context. It wasn't a big deal because the story was relatively predictable, anyways, but I still think it made it harder for the ending to feel resonant. [spoiler]You never got a sense for what Five was leaving behind to join Father other than a relatively generic betrayal.[/spoiler] The themes not landing terribly well wasn't too much to this game's detriment, as the story sequences' presentation are incredibly unique. The game's presentation overall is just fantastic. Never seen that early-2000's-shooter style replicated quite so well. The aesthetic really understood what made the mood work in the best of those games.

haven't beat the game yet but one problem i have so far is that the music get repetitive after so long in a lv the rest for the game is pretty good so far

this game is like a love letter to everything i like the gameplay is awesome and rewarding the music goes hard i loved it all the way through even till the end it's a great game worth checking out

[b]Reloading is the weakness.[/b] [b]Take their guns.[/b] [b]Then take their lives.[/b] [b]Execute.[/b]

the average polish man's trip to biedronka to get milk while the knockoff buzz lightyear in his back pocket keeps telling him to [b] EXECUTE [/b] somehow manages to reinvent madness combat's flow from first principles, mostly by cheating I'm not going to blame them, having gravity guns for hands and gravity hammers for fists slaps, I'm never going to turn down being able to subject enemies to real time ragdoll physics It's a delicious mix of chocolate gunplay with peanut butter "my fists grant you the gift of flight at the cost of the structural integrity of every bone in your body" I've played for just an hour and this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is looking smug and bringing out the strawberry "make getting shot the other guy's problem" and yet they've managed to very precisely balance this, by making sure you can never reload but you can just hoover up guns from all the enemies you've turned to soup or if you ever run out of cast iron, you can just cast fist but the melee, while devastatingly powerful, has just a bit of friction, just a hint of a delay, so while you can just decide that bullets are for cowards and you have yet to see man outsmart fist, you would be rewarded with a playstyle that's perfectly playable, if you're willing to handle a bit of awkwardness in exchange for a ticket to the mook space programme. I haven't even mentioned the max payne slowmo but it surgically implants all of your bullets with aimbot including every single pellet in your shotgun this game slaps and refuses to stop slapping

[h1]IN SPRAWL YOU PLAY A CYBERNETICALLY AUGMENTED AVATAR OF VIOLENCE[/h1] Have you ever wanted to play a mix of Killzone, Halflife 2, and F.E.A.R. but instead of reloading you keep taking new guns from your enemies cold dead hands? Oh and if you you're out of cold dead hands to steal from [b]you use your own supercharged gravity gun, projectile redirecting, electrified hands to make some more.[/b] This is a solid 9 hours of that and is also begging to be replayed with New Game+ and unlockable mission modifiers. Notes:[list] [*]Enemy variety starts out a little small but rapidly expands. New Game+ seems to fix this by making every level use more of the expansive roster. [*]I played the original sprawl before sprawl zero and I feel like the final cutscene may have players asking "Wait who's that?" [*]As of writing (day of release) there is a bug where enemies can get stuck inside of walls but still be alive. On occasion this can softlock but checkpoints are frequent. [*] Compared to the Original this only has 1 bossfight instead of 3 but the core combat feels like it makes up for it.
