[09] Warrior
I bought this Wednesday on Steam and am really enjoying it so far. The movement (wallrun into jump into glide into airdash into glide, etc) mechanics are great, and the superpowered toys that the game gives you are pretty fun to use.
Oddly I'm finding myself enjoying the (horrible) plot as well. When my character's ex-girlfriend had no comment about the 100+ people and cars that I flattened during our drive back to her home in my hijacked tank while wearing the skin of Old Lady #487, I was disturbed, but also a little intrigued... She's ok with this? I'm calling the evil villain plot twist now. And if this is only mission 2, how much crazier can I make things? (hint: much crazier.) I definitely get a whacked-out B-Movie vibe from this game, but one that makes me cackle with a bit of childish glee.
And yeah, there is really no option to play a conventional hero. It's impossible. You can walk down the street in this game and accidentally kill 6 people by farting. You're bad news.
The game starts out really easy, but it ramps up in difficulty before too long. The last mission that I played required me to consume some hotshot tank officer by literally killing everyone who works for him, and judging by the amount of guys that I killed (2000+), he had a nice lofty rank. I'm not sure why this would motivate him to show up in person, but it did give the game a great excuse to make me fight dozens of tanks, APCs, Hunters, and helicopters at same time, which made for an epic fight. Tough as all hell, but it makes you feel like your character is a total bad-ass when he finally does manage to win.
