Transience

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.

ja macht spaß die ki ist ziemlich dumm was es geiler macht einfach durch zulaufen und Kopfschüsse zu verteilen also ja es macht spaß deshalb denke ich es ist lohnenswert zu spielen achtet nicht auf das langweilige erste level die meisten heulen deswegen rum

upon looking at other review people have said alot about bugs but during my playthrough i got ZERO bugs 2026 july. Its a pretty solid single player experence the gunplay feels good story is easy to follow it ran suprising well on my old rtx 1080 pc. its got crysis weapon style customisation, for attachments you have to find then throughout each level makes looking for sercts rewarding another thing the game doesnt tell you what some buttons do so best look at the controls before you start things like disable hud, weapon inspect and night vision

I gave Transience a shot because I watched BigFry's content. At it's core, Transience is a linear, stealth-based shooter with gunplay similar to what you'd find in any tactical shooter (think Tarkov, R6, Arena Breakout Infinite). While you CAN go in gun's blazing, it's heavily incentivized to go in with a stealth-first approach. Similar to the old-school FEAR games, Transience's AI is DEADLY accurate. Overall, I think it's a really fun shooter. It's not a BAD game by any stretch it is worth the $20 USD, but if you're unsure, wait until there's a sale. For their first title, BigFry & RESURGENT are tapped into the market, knows what the audience wants, and can develop a decent experience. You can tell that the developers put the majority of the effort into the gunplay experience and ultimately, I think it was the correct move. Now here's what I don't like about the game, perhaps nitpicky. While the gunplay is great, the rest of the game is a little messy. [list] [*]Transience is narratively confusing. Perhaps I missed it but, why does an accountant have to parkour and mess with vents on their way home? Gameplay wise, I understand it serves a purpose but story-wise it already took me out of the immersion. Especially for their first indie title, first impressions mean EVERYTHING and it was not paced very well. As you progress the pacing gets better but it's a slow, confusing start. Also not a big fan of the comic book style cutscenes but that's my personal opinion. I really didn't care for the story. I wasn't particularly grappled by the insane storytelling and character development. [spoiler] You're a dude that works as effectively a PMC for a corporate company. The company blacklisted you, and now you have to figure out why and how much money is on your head. [/spoiler] [*]The AI in the game seems to be one of two modes. Undetected, where the AI are incredibly incompetent and stick to their normal routing behavior. In Alerted status, the AI will look at you through walls and start aggressively making their way towards you. There is no in-between. [*]The stealth mechanics in the game feel half-baked. There isn't any dedicated stealth takedowns which was a really big letdown for me. Instead, you rely on the non-lethal gadgets that you obtain in the game. Your gadgets operate on a cooldown which in a game like Transience it doesn't make too much sense. The cooldown also impacts the pacing of the gameplay. [*]Speaking of non-lethal, there really isn't any incentive to be non-lethal. I found myself more often than not just shooting the heads off of people. It's just more effective at the end of the day. [*]I started this game after 6 months of it's release and there are still bugs. Particularly with the sound. Either it would be incredibly muffled and I can't hear a thing that's being said, or it sounded like I had slo-mo on, when I didn't. [/list] Overall, it's a fun experience, but it definitely needed some more TLC in more parts of the game. They invested heavily in the gunplay and it shows. But the heavy investment also meant sacrificing key parts of the core experience that also hurt the game's overall enjoyment.

The passion is evident from the team. Well worth the price of admission.

I like it as a stealth based shooter. Need more of these. Would buy the sequel.

Overhated but needs some tweaks

Decent tactical shooter, atrocious stealth game.

TERRIBLE performance, super linear campaign (and the horde mode is very bare bones)

Pretty solid
