Intravenous

Strangely, the closest comparison I'd draw would be not to the obvious [i]Hotline Miami[/i] meets [i]MGS[/i]/[i]Spliner Cell[/i] continuum, but to (of all things) old [i]Delta Force[/i]. Same tactical focus, same loadout emphasis, same protagonist fragility, same stealth dynamics - primarily existing to hop into combat on favourable terms. Except this is leagues ahead, so should probably be compared not to [i] Task Force Dagger[/i] and the like, but to the modern successor which is Microprose's [i]Dagger Directive[/i]. I attempted to play it dry, pure stealth, ghost. This is one of those games that are actively hurt by such approach. Still playable, but, you know. Good as stealth here might be, you're much better of treating this as a sandbox to experiment with loadouts in.

dogwash wont let you change equipment if you start a mision

It's alright. I took the stealth approach until I couldn't. Most of the time I was just using the throwing knife to kill two enemies and use it as a silent ranged weapon too. The gameplay when it's loud and not stealth isn't forgiving, which is in line with Hotline Miami but I never bothered to play with guns blazing because you die in one shot, even with max armour, and replaying from the last save to have another go isn't as simple as one tap of a button. It's more like two buttons, but being loud isn't really encouraged. I just didn't feel the vibes of a fast-paced shooter. I didn't use more than a couple weapons because most of them didn't really change the gameplay or feel any different to use. The story and dialogue absolutely suck. They're both something I would've written in high school. It's a lot of explaining the plot, the characters don't feel like characters because they're random names explaining what's happening, i like to stick around with dialogue, but I couldn't stick. Maybe I'm getting old and I don't want to bother to stick through a bad experience to finish a game or whatever, I just started skipping most of the cutscenes, still hung around for some of the di…

Nice Game

This is simultaneously a good game and a clumsy piece of crap. I like it more than I hate it but good lord is it not polished. Hopefully 2 will be better after I finish this one.

За фулл прайс точно не пойдет. А так какой-никакой типа-сюжетный стелс (хотя громко тоже можно), с видом сверху. Может щелкнуть, может нет. Сомнительно, но окэй.
