I disagree with a ton of negative reviews for the game, ninety minutes in and I LOVE the gunplay, i feel like its perfectly "clunky" since youre basically an escaped trafficking victim with presumably no firearms experience seeking revenge. I feel as if the game demands a mix of hip firing and ironsights. i think im about halfway through the game, and even "they found you, run" was very fun for me. i actually struggled more in the more open areas rather than the tight ones. I complete most levels on my first try, and i can't wait for more difficulty to be added because im LOVING this game. sidenote: in terms of guns, i dont think an inventory system would fit this game, but being able to pick up different guns off enemies would be nice. if they do add difficulty settings/gamemodes, id like to see a "no infinite ammo" feature. managing shots/bullets could be a fun balance change for this game. giving some enemies vests (so that they can be shot more in the chest, which is where one would typically aim) could be a fun difficulty increase as well, making you aim for the arms, legs, or head. an injury system in this game would be amazing if thats added. i put off buying it during steam summer sale and purchased it on a whim just two hours ago. worth every penny. pick it up asap. cant wait to follow up on this review.

Kill your r*pists. Kill the s*x traffickers. Kill the pimps. Kill the Corpos profitting from s*x trafficking. Aiming is extremely difficult in this game due to the protagonist inexperienced with firearms and bodycam perspective: Reduce your aim sensitivity to land your shots easier. Increase brightness to identify enemies easier. First enemy you aim at during slow-mo is automatically locked on. Short game but longer than most Hentai Compilations.

Game has issues but none of them matter. It plays like Bodycam Hotline Miami but feels like a John woo gunfight simulator. I'm here for it. Just needs a slightly faster run speed and were good.

So, everything bad about this game you've heard is true. The fish lens effect is nausea-inducing, the protagonist's hands wobble way too much, and the game overall feels really junky. But I'm still giving it a thumb up because the core concept is great to the point the game has a lot of fun to offer even as is, and this being an early access what we should do is to give it tons of constructive criticism so they can improve it by 1.0 release and not just mindlessly trashing it. I want everyone who is reading this and the devs to know I overall like the game and think it has a lot of potential. Like, some of the levels are references to John Woo movies, and they are genuinely great. The second level is a recreation of the scene from Better Tomorrow where Chau Yun Fat massacres a bunch of gangsters in a restaurant, and the final level is from Better Tomorrow 2 final scene. They are not too fan service-y, they are just nice. When everything clicks, it feels gloriously good to massacre countless goons with slow-motion in photo-realistic environment. It's just genuinely fantastic. If they can fix the glaring issues the game currently has, Better than Dead could turn into a true masterpiece. That's said, here are the issues I'd like to see fixed. - The aiming is way too random. The protagonist's hand wobbles waaay too much, to the point where the shooting feels more based on luck than player's skill. I know they are intentionally doing it to emphasize that the protagonist is untrained and incompetent in combat, but currently the protagonist feels more like a heroine addict than a simple amateur. It would be one thing if the recoil from the gun throws the aim off, but being unable to steady my aim even when I'm standing still is more frustrating than immersive. To be fair, Chau Yun Fat frequently dumped his bottomless mag just to drop one guy in those old Woo movies, but as a video game, it should be much more consistent. - The fish lens effect is indeed nausea-inducing, though it's largely negatable by cranking up the FOV setting. I don't know what they can do about this since the immersive body camera-like graphic is clearly one of the design concept of this game, but they need to tune it in some way to make it nicer to players' semicircular canal. - Something is wrong with the sound. The player's pistol sound nice and punchy, but the enemy gunshots are super quiet compared to every other sound for no reason, sometimes being barely perceptable. Also, the whole game is way too loud even when I turn the audio setting way down. - The warehouse level sucks. It would be okay for any normal FPS, but for what this game is, the level is way too open. This is a game where you struggle to even hit a target that is in the same room with you. Being forced to engage in long-range combat in an open field is just miserable. - They need to add more weapons. Currently only one weapon, pistol, is available, which is pathetic. I assume this is only early access thing and they are planning to add a bunch more weapons in 1.0 release, but they really need to add some Hong-Kong movie stables like mini UZI, pump-action shotguns and dual-wielded pistols. This game do be awesome when everything is working as intended and you are head-shotting every sex traffickers in slow-motion, but it would be even more awesome with appropriately big arsenal. - Enemies are way too inaccurate with their shots. Which is the only way for the players to survive in the current state of the game with the aiming as boked as it is, but the player should be able to overcome the challenge of the level by his own skill, not because the guy right in front of him decided to miss him 4 times in a row. Again, I like the game's core concept and my overall point is that you should buy the game. It's just that there are a few things I'd like to see improved.
