SHOWTIME 2073

Explaining the game is simple. You walk around, kill enemies with Unreal Engine asset flip weapons, evade them, and gather balls just like PacMan. You advance to the next level after you have collected every ball. After that, the same thing keeps happening. The soundtrack rapidly grows stale, and the levels are barely varied. Regardless of the visual settings you experiment with, it frequently stutters. It seems like a slowness because of the jerkiness. There is no variation in the game; it is always the same. Additionally, there is no save feature. You have to start at level 1 when you resume the game. Despite its low cost, SHOWTIME 2073 is not worth it. Additionally, there are no achievements or trading cards. You simply walk around an Unreal Engine stock level, collect 100 PacMan-like balls and then continue with the remaining levels, while shooting enemies along the way. Good idea, but bad execution.

This is the worst game I have ever played in my entire life and I've even played Destiny 2, but this is worse. Just about all 5 hours of my playtime is level 5. The game is basically just level 5 everything else is very easy. Idk if the physics get affected by framerates above 400 fps, but for some reason when a spider jumps on me and makes contact I go flying either really dang high and far or I go zooming backwards across the map and hit the electric fence. I get to 99 of the balls collected and then I can't find the last one even though I shot all the turrets and have knocked down all the walls. The only thing I can think of is that the rubble is covering the last ball up and I can't see it or pick it up when I run over the rubble. The mech has also disappeared on 3 of my runs at level 5, I do make a lot of holes in the ground so some mobs will fall through as I run my laps so maybe the mech walked over a hole and fell through, idk. This is just a terrible game, the slow motion every time I shoot gave me motion sickness, it's tolerable for like 30 mins, but the game is fast paced so going really fast and then slowing down for short bursts only to speed back up almost immediat…

Not recommended - it is a game where enemies spawn practically behind you constantly and when you turn around five more are where you originally where looking at and kill you in under a second. Would you play a game where the optimal strategy is to spam spray fire at all times in hopes of one of them hitting the enemy to not die from it and having to restart the level? That is not all - you also get to deal with the level edges that randomly instakill you. This game has been actively made to be as annoying as possible and to lose your progress constantly. That means it is tailor-made to get the Not Recommended verdict from me. I only paid about 30 cents for it, yet I am not sure if it is worth that much. It is the kind of a game a prison would use to torment a confession out of an inmate.

Showtime 2073 feels like throwing a glitter bomb into the future and hoping it forgives you. Every cutscene hums like a refrigerator auditioning for Broadway. Laser choreography? Like salsa dancing with an AI that owes you twenty bucks. My character wears seventeen capes, none of them legal in seven solar systems. Dialogue trees grow sideways, demanding I confess my childhood snack habits. I once dodged an orbital strike so smooth my toaster started reciting poetry. Boss fights arrive with the energy of a karaoke night hosted by angry satellites. The soundtrack sounds like a blender falling in love with a theremin. Every time I upgrade my armor, my houseplants start gossiping in Morse code. Victory screens just whisper, “Time is a circle, but popcorn is forever.” 10/10. Neon chaos, existential hugs.

A little boring for me.
