What the game says it is: Become the ultimate weapon The virus the scource of your pain your enemy...Your POWER. Unleash the deadly power of the glaive and become the hero.
What the game actually is: You play Hayden a CIA clean-up man who while trying to intercept a rouge agent, Menzer. Your arm becomes infected with a technocyte virus, it is set in a fictional eastern block country in the near future.
It is a third person shooter combined with a unique hack and slash weapon, the glaive, that grows in power as you progress through the game and is part of the virus that mutates your arm.
Graphic and sound: The graphics and visuals in this game are pretty cool and the sounds are good.
How game play was: Fun and engaging. The action and storyline are quick paced which can become frustrating when you inevitably get stuck at a environmental puzzle that requires a special maneuver or a boss battle that you just can't seem to get past.
The good: The combinations of weapons and variety of maneuver powers with your glaive are fun to execute.
The bad: After you are infected any weapon you don't buy self-destructs after a few seconds which can be annoying.
The ugly: Some of the maneuvers with the glaive and interaction with the puzzle environments could get quickly frustrating interrupting the flow of the game play and story.
Overall: I enjoyed this game despite its ultra violent nature. Its boss fights were hard but they were also interesting. I enjoyed the quick pace of the game and the environment puzzles with some exceptions (see the ugly).
PTSD rating: 6
Why I rated: I rated this due to violence, with lots of head decapitations and limb amputations. There is realistic sounds of gun fire and explosions and you play a CIA operative that works for the military that *spoiler alert* is betrayed by his own goverment.
