Vanquish Review (5.5/10)
This game is decent. It's hard enough on the normal difficulty and will require you to actually learn how to play the game and interact with all of its systems and weapons to survive. Nothing about the story is particularly groundbreaking. There are some weird graphics issues although it looks fine enough for the most part. The combat is pretty par for the course, with the ONLY unique aspect being that you can slow down time but even that's not wholly unique.
The best part about this game is the dialogue, man. I never understood what people meant when they said something was "gay coded" until I played this game. I don't know, something about what the characters talk about, especially the character Burns, just makes everything seem hella gay.
The ending was extremely unsatisfying. It definitely seems like they wanted to link it into a second game but that obviously never happened.
I don't know, if you want a 6-8 hour generic cover shooter with a generic story but some unintentionally funny characters, this is your game. Maybe worth getting on a steep sale.
