I mean I doubt it will do well either. It's got cult favorite written all over it.
Don't know how it looks like shit though.
It's another classic post-Max Payne Remedy "style over substance" game.
Here's what I see as major issues from what I've seen in multiple videos:
- You get all those fancy powers, but the very first thing you obtain in the game is an alien gun with infinite ammo and an insane rate of fire that lets you dispatch enemies (95% of them being basic ass bitch grunts with a gun) in under 1 sec. Said grunts drop health recovery stuff like candy.
- Character movement is janky as fuck.
- Enemy AI is complete trash. Gameplay is as subtle as just a shooting gallery (infinite ammo gun doesn't help).
- Camera in close up aim mode is god awful - aiming reticle is behind your character model more often than not.
- Get in a new zone (often with enemies popping in instantly), and they thought it'd be good to have a giant "POWER PLANT ZONE" or whatever text pop-up in your face, covering like 80% of the screen.
- Environments are endless repetitive grey corridors and rooms. The level design being metroidvania-like, it's just confusing, especially because the map is garbage.
- Plot is basically SCP and Lost had a baby.
Basically Sam Lake is still trying really hard to be the European Kojima, but he keeps forgetting that he should focus on tight gameplay first.
