Transience

Excelente juego, es como un Splinter Cell en primera persona. La experiencia de combate está pulida a un nivel que no he visto ni en juegos AAA, es super cómodo usar las armas, apuntar, disparar, no hay retroceso exagerado y los items especiales son muy intuitivos. Los niveles están muy bien diseñados y la historia tiene una narrativa atrapante y entretenida. Los minijuegos estan bien diseñados y los niveles te permiten combate frenético o sigilo puro. Notas - a mejorar: - Los enemigos deberían cargarse antes de entrar a las habitaciones, para poder escanearlos previo al combate. Ahora se cargan sólo después de pasar una puerta muy cerca de cuando inicia el combate. - Los enemigos suelen investigar en fila, uno a tras otro, y es muy fácil acorralarse en una esquina y matarlos uno por uno. Deberían ser más estrategicos en cuanto a los escondites que usan y los caminos que recorren para investigar (jugando en dificultad media). - El scanner debería ser revisado. Hay veces que no detecta a los enemigos incluso poniendo la retícual sobre éstos. - En el nivel de la guarida, las armas que se caen al piso al tomar otra, desaparecen después del entrenamiento. Deberían reaparecer en su lugar previo en la pared con el resto de las armas. - Si se quita un accesorio no desbloqueado a un arma enemiga que sí lo tiene, debería poder recolocarse siempre que se lleve ese arma con uno. Cuando ese arma se cambia por otra, entonces ahí debería perderse la posibilidad de usar ese accesorio en otro arma. - Algunos subtitulos se adelanta, se atrasan o son saltados completamente. - Algunas texturas emisivas de luz o el pelo de los personajes tienen un efecto de espejos infinitos. - La caja de colisiones del personaje todavía necesita unos retoques. En algunas situaciones especificas, colisionas con cosas que no pensabas que te ibas a chocar. - La retícula sólo interactua con el centro de los objetos, debería interactuar con todo el cuerpo del objeto (personas, armas, puertas, etc). - Algunas acciones deberían poder ser configurables como alternables (scanner, correr, caminar, por ejemplo). - (en mi opinión) la munición debería ser tomada del arma, no del cadaver del enemigo, y debería estar basada en la cantidad de municion que lleva el cartucho, no un número al azar entre 1 y 10.

I'm going to finish it because i bought it. After that, i'm gonna delete it and hide it from my list of games so i don't have to see it again. I thought Ready or not's AI was bad on launch but at least it was playable. This seems like the most basic npc movements were copped and pasted into into the game and the dev just called it day. Honestly the only redeeming Piece of this has been the shooting. Which is funny, since this is meant to be a Stealth game, were your encouraged to SNEAK. Or maybe I'm wrong about that, what with the Slow Mo and knock off Crysis suit (the armor only part of course).

played for 6 hours soon as I reached the first boss fight with this maniac SQL. Game became impossible to beat. This brings several problems. 1- Game tried to reinvent the mechanics such as armor and slow-mo. Which showed the flaw throughout the game. When the situation arises let's say you want to refill your armor or bullet time. You need to make sure the enemies needs to be stay outside of your 10 mile radius. It's very clunky. Instead using a hotbar key like cp2077 or any other game. It locks you in a quick bar menu use it then re equip your gun. By the time you refill your abilities enemy drains that within mere seconds. Which makes the game unplayable. 2- The Ammo. Getting 4 rounds from killing a man. I don't know whether the game wants you or forces you to play in stealth. When things get dire it feels like a joke. 3- Optimization. Maybe it's because ım using a ♥♥♥♥ laptop but ıdk. Sometimes ı can't get anywhere above 30fps sometimes Im getting 80fps. 4-Boss fight. This where the problem-1 arises. Im gonna be honest I was reaching my end. By the time I tried to get my ability bar full boss rushed towards me and killed me. Doesn't matter if you do it in stealth you most likely to fail your cover and boss will rush and destroy your armor. If he doesn't kills you his minions will definitely will. Trepang solved this issue very easily. You can just refill your armor, health and abilities via getting kills or simply walking towards the item they dropping. Second one is the boss. Bosses were also difficult but not impossible to beat. But for some reason in this game(Transience it was a more of an annoyence rather than enjoyable.) 5- Story was good until gameplay wasn't. And I don't think I will play it again.

Yo big fry hope you see this because you responded to my performance issue directly around launch. I don’t know what exactly you guys did between when I refunded the game and uninstalled it up to now but it’s way better. Outright smooth I’d say. I was getting high resource pull and also a lot of weird latency’s inside of the game, but that seems to be completely gone. The spots where people were talking about how the starting mission is way too long I have way more context for now as well. Some of the teaching, the basic tutorial stuff seemed a little bit jarring with how it was presented to you in that apartment campaign, mostly down to how much it was kind of spaced out at times. For example, I would be engaging with the stealth mechanics and then randomly find a beginner mechanic learn. I think it’s down the preference a lot of people like a tutorial stuff to be in the beginning of the game and having it repeatedly come up and put some people off, but I really don’t mind that much. However, when it comes to mini games are some issues I think that you might want to be resolved. So like some of the hacking mini games are not too in depth of tutorials and mixed messages, which kind of left me confused. On the hacking game where you use the boxes that you have 4 attempts it didn’t feel that engaging to do. In comparison to all the other hacking games and all the other mechanics it really did slow things down like a lot, and I guess there was a little bit of tension of having to keep the guards off me while I did that but the grid game. But This kind of broke the flow for a little bit. I also really wasn’t expecting that kind of mini game for an activity like that. the rating system is a bit weird. Sometimes it’ll give me a result that I don’t necessarily know what it’s trying to tell me because the parameters of how I’m getting that results aren’t very specified. For example, it’s was rating me for shooting NPC’s and killing them when they spot me. So basically NPC sees me for like a nanosecond right before I killed them. It was my signature and a lot of missions because I was killing multiple targets at the same time. I forget the exact terminology was using on the board, but it was saying that I was reckless and elusive. I’m somewhat confused what that’s trying to tell me how my play style was. I am hoping that it wasn’t related to stashing bodies because I don’t think there’s enough areas to stash bodies for it to count every single kill, especially if you’re like storing bodies out of sight of guards. When it comes to the AI, I’m like 50-50 on it. There are times where the AI will be acting like ready or not AI trying to beam you through a wall like they can see you behind them and then there were also other times where it feels very dynamic and I like that. I will say when it comes to certain levels the AI’s simplicity kind of shows a lot. The club level was a very annoying Level for me because I don’t know what it was, but the AI was just beaming me through walls and there was no solid cover in the entire first section of level. I’m guessing that this is down to a mechanic of suppression mixing with Level design a little bit. As I had seen them act like they were kind of suppressing before but sometimes it just feels like they’re just detecting you through the walls versus trying to point blank you through cover. And I don’t think I necessarily died on the first part of the level like I was getting spawn cancer or anything however, the way the first level was stood up is that the air was so easily able to just mag without me from that starting section that I would lose a lot of my resources and ended up dying later in Level due to the same issue. I also wish that the game had some form of detection on foliage because in that level foliage is the absolute pain. This Paired with the suppression system where I mostly died after getting jumped at the start of the level. it was at the area with the foliage because the AI could perfectly see me through the foliage and also wall banging through cover. I would at least attempt to lessen their accuracy when wall banging, and also when firing from the area that’s hidden by foliage. As it makes the firefights really really awkward. But I’ll say two is that when it comes to voice acting It was definitely very funny to hear you randomly appear every once in a while as an NPC. And also, some of the voice actors are really, really really really good for what you chose. Speaking of the club level from before I’m really happy that they didn’t try to go full John Wick with this or they didn’t try to go mob Boss or whatever.. we’ll try to make a play on a rip off Menendez from Black ops. The way he delivered his line during the third level, and it’s his frantic ranting in the beginning in the hecticness of firefights. It really does set the mood. I also like that since he is more soft spoken, he does portray a Corpo a lot better. He’s not a mercenary. He’s not a mob Boss is a man with influence and power. He becomes a weird philosopher sorts in campaign, and I like that. Stealth is pretty good but some mechanics don’t seem to align right on levels. For example, on certain levels, the snipers are absolutely vigilant and deadly. But on the one warehouse level, I was then later surprised how limited their sight lines were. I thought that snipers will be able to see further and that was a dynamic but weirdly they seem to not be able to spot me for a good distance away. I was rather expose too when looking at these guys and testing out their sight lines. I originally didn’t think that I’d be interested in the sci-fi aesthetic of the game. But actually, I’ve been proven quite wrong. I’m actually rather interested in the Lore you go for it so far. Yeah, but the game’s quite enjoyable. It also seems to have enough wiggle room for me to be able to replay a good bit.

Its like dishonored if it made out with cyberpunk for a few minutes and then claimed to be in a committed relationship with it, it inherited the bugs but did not get the good story or many things that make cyberpunk good. The gameplay is fun but the ai is ♥♥♥♥. I cant really recommend it to anyone because I dislike supporting the entity that is bigfry. It is a demo posing as a full game. The guns are cool asf though but it seems like all the effort went into making the guns feel good and not, yknow, anything else.

I cannot recommend this game at any price currently due to how incredibly buggy it is. In my 85 minutes playtime I experienced about 11 gameplay impacting bugs. This is somehow worse than Bethesda's usual bug fiestas

Sends me back to classic shooters like FEAR, Splinter Cell and Deus-Ex. Nice graphics with a mix of realism and cell shading gives the game a unique vibe. It really needs more recognition. Genuinely fun, straight-forward, and just what the games industry needs more on.

Transience is a surprisingly well made Indie Tactical FPS. Great story, cool characters and great gunplay. 8/10 Hope it gets a sequel - It deserves one !

There are multiple issues that prevent me from recommending this: A) Unless you plan on playing for at least 30 minutes at a time, the splash screens are unbearable B) There is a bug where right mouse and left mouse inputs just don't register so aiming and shooting occasionally do not work. In addition to that, headshots are wildly inconsistent. I somehow land more headshots than I have kills, meaning that sometimes, it takes several bullets to put down an enemy using a headshot with very little, if any visual feedback that you hit them. C) You are meant to be fighting a coordinated force yet CoD Games from the early 2010s have better coordination AND stealth mechanics. D) AI is twitchy and deadly accurate. I once had a dude do a 90-degree one-tap on me from several yards away. While others manage to one-tap me the second I walk into their view. This is on the regular difficulty. (the one in the middle in the difficulty select screen) Personally, I just do not vibe with the stealth mechanics. I completed level 1 and level 2, and they introduced drones on level 3 and I just don't imagine myself continuing to play the game after that. Which is unfortunate because the gunplay is actually pretty nice, but I can't rush into combat knowing that there is a chance my weapon just doesn't shoot.

There's good stuff here. I'm sincerely blown away this game was made on a reported budget of only $250k. My honest to God question is [b]"How???"[/b] Unfortunately this game suffers SO poorly from restricting access to your armor (and visor abilities) to completing mission 3. Out of 9. You are missing fundamentals for a third of this game and you FEEL it. Additionally the enemy AI essentially has two observations:[olist] [*]There is no one here [*]Oh look. That guy from 80m away needs to get drilled[/olist] There's very little in-between, and it's not because of the light mechanic. But if you want to ignore both of those warnings (and a bloviating plot): enjoy the game. You WILL get a tactical stealth FPS out of it. I would even agree it gets better as it goes along. Unfortunately I am keeping this review negative because I often felt I was forcing myself to finish it. Do I regret that decision? Not particularly. But you should be asking me whether or not you feel like you [i]want[/i] to continue the game. Often I did not.
