METAL EDEN

ONE ENEMY, I DONT KNOW WHY, IT DOESNT MATTER HOW HARD I TRY, THE BALANCE IN THIS GAME IS RUINED BY THE DEVS.

New game+ broken, can't proceed.

The game is a pretty fun doom eternal clone. But I'm playing it through Gforce now and it keeps crashing. I tried to play it in medium quality limited to 60 frames, and got a bit better, but still crashes. Also it does not have a manual save game option, so most of the time you have to replay the entire level. It's sad because I'm enjoying the gameplay.

Good: ‣ Good art direction. ‣ Great sound design and OSTs. ‣ Clean UI. ‣ Fast-paced movement and combat. ‣ Cool guns with different firing types and upgrades. ‣ Good enemy variety. Mixed: ‣ The story is all over the place and pretty confusing, even though the premise is pretty good. ‣ Some movement bugs. ‣ Skill trees don't change the gameplay too much. Feels like some of them are just buffs rather than allowing for different builds. ‣ Very linear. Bad: ‣ Crashes sometimes. ‣ Leaves big log data files in your AppData/Local/Metal Eden folder. I ended up with only 4GB, but I've seen people with much larger sizes. ‣ The game has NG+, but it can get you softlocked. Overall: I don't think it's a bad game. It plays with some interesting concepts and feels like 'Doom meets Cyberpunk', but I still found it pretty boring. It's one of those games that maybe if they went with a slightly different route, it could've been really good. More emphasis on movement, skills, and a coherent story would've made it really good imo. The game itself feels very limited and way too linear. Worth getting it on sale, but not full or even half price discount.

The game is quite fun, I have not seen much woke slop, unfortunately the main character is a female, and there is no option to choose the gender. Though I am not seeing the usual girl-boss nonsense the Western gaming industry usually pushes and that is quiet refreshing. The game is fun to play, I would compare to a perfect mixture of Metroid, Titanfall and Deadzone. The game storyline could use some refinement as you essentially get dropped into combat with little background on what you are doing or why you are there. I will say that even though the story is not the strongest suit of this game I would like to see more sequels get released as I am having a blast playing this title. Do I recommend it? that's a resounding "ABSOLUTELY"!! Buy it, play it and I am quite sure you will love it! I did buy it on sale as i usually buy all my games during big sales, but I would have paid full price if I had known it was this good. The game sales for $19.99 USD, it is well worth that much, the price is perfect, any higher I would say; skip it and wait for a sale but $20 is a fair price for games like this.

It's if you merged likes of Samus with Doom Slayer in futuristic Ruiner (their previous game). A lot of fun and a new take of slaying cyber freaks. It's a fun game! The only issue is it is unoptimized. Meaning that it chugs frames when loading in level chunks and enemies at times. But when everything loads, it goes up to 144+ fps. It could be shaders loading and my aging CPU or something. But that is the state of UE5 I guess.
