and I can see where it got it’s reputation for being one of the best single player FPS campaigns. Especially since the last FPS campaign I played was Wolfenstein (2009).
What I liked about it was it’s length, this can be beaten in a day if you wanted to, or if you like taking your time, about 1-4 play sessions. The gun variety was good, the gameplay variety and scenarios was fantastic. I also liked how at times the game turned into a platformer.
That being said, this isn’t a game I feel inclined to play again. For the $5 I spent on it, the game is fantastic, but I’ve defiantly played better shooter campaigns (looking at you Splatoons 1-3), and better FPS campaigns (Wolfenstein: The New Order). This is a solid B tier game, or if this was the 90’s and early 2000’s, a solid rental recommendation.
With that said, I can only advise the PC version if you plan to go online. If you are playing signal player you might want to get the PS4 or XBONE versions since Origin/EA App is needed to run even the signal player campaign. It’s annoying and has been an issues for those with Steam Decks apparently.
Solid Recommendation from me, but get the console versions first if you have that as an option and don’t care for Online. Or get it on Steam for like $3-$6 like it was in the last steam sale.
I really enjoyed the PvE Frontier Defense mode too after the campaign. Played that for a long while
I played Frontier Defence obsessively for years and maxed out all of the titans (which really enhances the experience). A fully unlocked Scorch is such a beast!
It’s still possible to play on console but hard to get games near me (Australia). Luckily it’s quite playable on more active European or North American servers.
