And if that’s not enough, you can always add a Tango to your Cash by teaming up in couch co-op multiplayer like that buddy cop drama you always wanted to be part of. ![]() Little touches like chasing down goons with briefcases trying to make a quick getaway to speeding vehicles that open up at the windscreen like all good futuristic ’80s concept cars are just a tease of many moments that celebrate the retro detective cyberpunk era. ![]() While the sense of repetition can easily sink in, it’s more the presentation and style that keeps the gameplay interesting with excellent attention to detail, relevant music and wonderful pixel art both in background, and character design that really helps sell the atmosphere. The levels themselves, while beautifully constructed, act as basic playing fields that keep the action very linear without really ever shaking up the formula throughout. For example, there’s a trigger-happy World War 3 veteran reliving the horrors of war while snapping his chain-gun like Bill Duke in Predator, and not forgetting the lunatic accountant attempting to settle matters from the comforts of his desk with his army of remote firearms. Thankfully every encounter comes across very differently from one another. From an unlawful petrolhead clan that appears as a concoction between the teddy boys of Grease and dangerous warlords of Mad Max to a bunch of ice hockey rejects who look like what the Mighty Ducks could have turned into if Emilio Estevez happened to be an angry juiced up warlord.Įach area has several contracts for our bounty hunters to contend with, who also happen to be bursting with personality to match their 80s stereotypical villainous presence. This uhhh "game" is probably up there with Fallout: Brotherhood Of Steel and FlatOut 3 as one of the worst games I have ever played.The opposition is batched up like the gangs of Walter Hills 1979 cult classic The Warriors, with their fancy dressed and themed attire ready to represent their territory led by some form of unhinged turf leader. He is there in the trailer and the screenshots as well as in the "secret" ending, in which the guy's just chilling on some sofa. Yep, there is no Freeman in Hunt Down The Freeman. The only mechanic that stands out is the "Parkour System", which is useful like twice in the game, has janky animations and I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually just stolen from somewhere. Gameplay doesn't really offer anything we haven't seen in the old Half-Life games. The Characters aren't interesting, the story is full of weird edgy dialogue and cliches, the game's ending cutscene is just prime meme material. Well, Hunt Down The Freeman looks like those 2005 fan made maps for Half-Life 2, it's a mess of Half-Life 2 assets, Black Mesa assets, Left 4 Dead assets, Payday 2 assets and the ones the developers made themselves. ![]() Before release the developers talked about how this game's gonna look as good as Black Mesa (A remake of the original Half-Life) if not better. If they really wanted to have Alex Beltman and Pyrocynical in here, why couldn't they just make those soldiers actually British? Maybe just make them a part of some British team, sent out to help the US fight off the alien invasion or create some other explanation, now it's simply funny. I especially loved that some US soldiers have British accents, which obviously doesn't make much sense. Now everything else: Bad dialogue with voice acting ranging from fine to terrible. The story has potential and with some tweaking, could be pretty cool. ![]() Let's start with the positives: SFM cutscenes look decent for the most part
