Killbox

Normally, I compare these political games to a barbeque skewer: All point, no edge, as they often have a thought provoking message, but aren't shocking enough to deliver the idea. This doesn't hit the mark though. The player control is weird: Why does the player move the camera when it does literally nothing, it doesn't immerse you as the camera can just be left alone after the tutorial, and it automatically centres on the target. The "Player 2" mode was interesting, but it felt very boring, just waiting for something you know will happen, when it will happen and where it will happen. This game's point seems to just be "Killing is bad", which is not a message that needs to really be instilled in people. The abstraction is an interesting design choice, but it implies that drone operators don't know that it's real civilians. Drone operators spend days and weeks observing their targets, learning about them, and watching them go about their lives, then after the kill they watch the dismembered corpse for hours before they can leave. This game just doesn't make you care about the person you kill, so it doesn't feel like a criticism on drone warfare and the cost of civilian life, and end…

wow

Boring and witout any option. graphics is bad, story is just a single message on a blackscreen and options are very poor. Even the possibility to move in game isn't good

Игра "Killbox" предлагает динамичный шутер с элементами тактики, где игроки сражаются в ограниченных зонах. Графика качественная, но не выделяется среди современных проектов. Геймплей насыщенный, с различными режимами и оружием, однако механика иногда кажется шаблонной. Управление интуитивно, но требует привыкания. Звуковая дорожка атмосферная, усиливая напряжение. Плюсы — доступность и разнообразие сценариев, минусы — недостаточная глубина сюжета. Подойдет фанатам быстрых баталий, но не оправдает ожиданий поклонников сложной тактики.

It is, of course, a short experience, meant to elicit reflections on drone warfare rather than entertain. While that is technically true, approach it with an open mind: it has a surprising amount of detail in the player 2 perspective, which only plays into its strengths. A perfect game for its aim, where every detail is clearly curated for maximum effects (do not be fooled by the simplicity of the graphics, they are like that for an expressive reason rather than for limitations)
