A fast paced first person shooter delivers an enjoyable blend of intense combat, futuristic weapons, and a striking cyberpunk atmosphere. Every battle is built around movement, positioning, and efficient use of an expandable arsenal. Enemy encounters remain engaging thanks to varied enemy types and combat arenas that encourage experimentation with different weapon configurations. One of the strongest aspects of the experience is the weapon upgrade system. Rather than overwhelming players with countless firearms, a smaller selection of weapons evolves through meaningful upgrades that unlock new combat possibilities. Environmental hazards, explosive objects, and energy based attacks create opportunities for creative strategies during large scale encounters. Progression feels rewarding as new upgrades steadily expand combat options. Detailed city environments, impressive visual effects, and a strong science fiction setting help create a memorable adventure. The atmosphere captures the feeling of a futuristic metropolis under siege while maintaining a constant sense of momentum. The result is a satisfying action experience that combines classic shooter design, rewarding progression, and stylish presentation into a campaign that remains engaging from beginning to end.
Excellent, with some caveats. Let me explain - this game is as sweet as honey-laced chocolate muffins with sprinkles on top and a soda on the side. i.e. it's really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tasty....the first few bites are heavenly....but after a bit, you want a little spice. Hard Reset looks absolutely gorgeous, plays like a ruddy charm, and has a consistent sense of character throughout. The cyberpunk cities, outskirts, junkyards, factories, all glisten and gleam with the rain-soaked metallic sheen that Blade Runner popularized (and eventually, mastered). Honestly, they've nailed this aspect of the game. After the first 5-6 hours of play, though, the incessant shooting gets tiring. First, you're always on edge (because this game is literally go here -> ah yes, 100 robots -> go there -> ah yes, 200 robots -> ad infinitum). There's no actual exploration, puzzle, no conversations or dialogue options, barely any lore or NON-COMBAT content. Second, the shooting has very little variety beyond a point. You have effectively 6-7 different weapon types, and while they all do a fantastic job and the combat really can be varied, strategic and tense, it's tiring to have to fight the same robots, which do the same things, again and again, level after level. It would have been different if weapon variety was drip-fed to you, but I unlocked all the weapons I was going to use within the first 4-5 hours of play. 4-5 hours later, I dread the next combat encounter and I wish there were areas where I could just enjoy the scenery and read some lore. If this type of game engages you, then Hard Reset is probably one of the better ones I've played. If it doesn't (like with me), it can still give you many hours of entertainment. Just...maybe not enough for you to finish the story.
Wow, the moment I shot the first AC unit and it shortcircuited in a rain of electricity before exploding in flames, scattering debris across the street, I knew this was made by the same company that made Shadow Warrior. This time the setting is cyberpunk and you are fighting robots so there is no gory goodness and bloodshed, but even still the game managed to surprise me with the progressive dismandling of the bigger units. I love the devs' attention to detail, like how you start fighting a pristine looking robot and as the fight progresses its panels get torn off and its inner mechanisms become exposed so you can either shoot at its core for maximum destruction, or the leg joints, in which case the robot's lower half gets blown and it start trying to crawl on the ground in an attempt to claw at you. And of course the star of the game is enviromental destruction and mayhem and I can't get enough of it. The store signs hanging above get torn and fall down, shooting at lamps make them malfunction and slowly fade forever, cardboard gets torn to shred, pallets are broken to wooden planks, computer screens start malfuctioning at first, then get torn off from their stands and go blank, while shelf units get de-IKEA'ed and bottles shatter. Every futuristic electronic machine explodes in a light show, gas-fueled machinery explode along with fuel barrels, bringing down the occasional wall or store shutter to expose secret rooms with experience points, health packs and ammo. The gunplay leaves a lot to be desired, I am early on but from the ungrades I have unlocked you appear to have only two weapons (an electricity gun and a riffle) each with 4 alternative mechashift/firing modes. So your electic gun can be a plasma shooter or an aoe electricity sprinkler and your riffle can be a mini turret chaingun that can turn into a double barrel shotgun. I am not impressed so far as I have yet to become used to the controls and circling through the alternative fire modes while swapping the two guns, and I miss the melee of Shadow Warrior. But the enviromental destruction and mayhem, along with the budding plot has kept my interest so far. Overall when I bought the game on a sale without knowing anything about it, I was expecting a cheap, generic shooter with aged graphics and some buggy ps2 mechanics, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out it is a game with a strong identity, enviromental kill gimmicks, enemy dismantling mechanics, hidden rooms and a cyberpunk detective story. Also the graphics look amazing in my eyes, just like I found Shadow Warrior beautiful beyond measure and with an attention to detail whne I picked it up for the first time, I find myself eager to see what else the game will throw at me, little details like the flying police cruisers patroling above the skies, coming and going every few minutes in some missions heralded by the sounds of their sirens, and they aren't even fake background drawings as shooting at them rewards you with sounds of impact and the flashes of bullets ricocheting off of their armored holds :). Or all the different holographic adds and propaganda posters and graffity littering the levels full of witty consumerism remarks "Buy to Live" "Clone yourself and let the clone do your work while you seek out pleasure, don't worry we will dispose of the clone for you when you are ready to go back to work". Great game.
It's a good shooter, underrated. I think the exile levels kinda suck and so do some of the weapons. I grew to like Fletcher and Novak, but when the story gets interesting the game is over. Wild Hog should come back to this universe, its ripe for more mutant robot freak destruction.
The gun variety is great and I do love the cyberpunk aesthetic. The level design, though, is deeply annoying in that you likely could skip half of all the levels if your character, who's supposed to be a badass cyborg soldier, wasn't as flexible as a boulder and was capable of crouching or doing a pull up to clamber onto ledges, instead of forcing you to go around by insanely long routes in EVERY LEVEL. Aside from that, if you like shooting a lot of robots the game's fine.
