A surprisingly polished first title from RESURGENT that is heavily inspired by shooters from the mid 2000's. The worst thing I can say about it is that the story has some very corny writing that's trying to emulate Remedy's tone in the first two Max Payne games with a revenge story reminiscent of John Wick. The setup is that you're one of the world's deadliest corporate mercs who is suddenly the target of a massive bounty. The worldbuilding is solid otherwise but expect lots of heavy handed metaphor in-between missions. But the gameplay is where it's at, the AI has a tendency to clump up together rather than avoiding piles of bodies, but the shooting feels excellent. The arsenal doesn't have anything you haven't seen before (Rifles semi and auto, smgs, pistols, and shotguns) but they all feel responsive and powerful, with good animations too. Stealth is highly suggested and pretty solid, with a light and sound indication system that helps you stay hidden. Get it on sale if you're that worried about the quality of the content, but I'd highly recommend this even at full price. Took me back to a time where games were more worried about building a solid experience rather than a formulaic platform for microtransactions.
TRANSIENCE And here comes BigFryTV's game after the many years of patiently waiting! Was it worth the wait? I'd say yes but I do have mixed feelings with Transience. Not a bad game, not a slop asset flip at all but far from being a "great game". It does manage to nail the stealth part really well and at times, it reminded me a bit of that good old "PROJET IGI" from the early 2000... and mix that with MAX PAYNE 2 noir setting, Splinter Cell stealth style with the lights destruction. The atmosphere, sound and music are good! The visuals are decent aside from the character models. The story get's the job done but I didn't felt invested in it much. The level transitions on the comic book style is well done though and I liked it! POSITIVES: +"Spy, cyberpunk, noir-esque setting with the decent soundtrack helped set the style. You can clearly see the Max Payne 2 noir setting inspiration! +Stealth atmosphere is the highlight of Transience. +Gunplay is pretty good +Sounds, music and voice acting are good. +Despite being critiqued, I actually liked the two missions intro. +Funny stupid AI that I just kept trolling around while hiding in vents! +Randy Lahey! Oh man did I LMAO-ed when I saw that character... and it is voiced by BigFry himself!! Trailer Park Boys totally rules! ;) +No crashes or gamebreaking bugs encountered. +Perfect ultrawide resolution with a FOV slider! NEGATIVES: -PACING ISSUES: Cutscenes are quite long! The game stops at certain times and shoves a long cinematic. I find it just breaks the pacing and immersion. -ELI, the main protagonist, speaks way too much at times with his monologues. -Vague story with a structure problem. -Slow movement speed (I wish your suit would just give you faster movement speed instead of the SloMo mechanic). -Can't stop a running animation of reloading or healing. So you cannot switch to another weapon if in big trouble! -Can't climb up vents unless there is some small step to get on. -Subtitles that got unsynched in Mission 8 Safehouse Final briefing. Unsure how or why but the subtitles went on to repeat of all previous conversations with the NPC's. I exited to desktop and reloaded the game which fixed that issue afterwards. OVERALL: I did not dislike the game and I do not "love" it either. However, even for a very linear "spy-noir" setting, I wish there was more of that type out there. I do wished TRANSIENCE had more exploration to do with different infiltration ways to enter zones, sorta like Deus Ex where you had the liberty to enter levels as you saw fit and operate lethally or ghost style. RECOMMENDATION: I do find the game worth of exploring so yes, I do recommend it. There are good aspects to it and also, RESURGENT can clearly see where they can improve upon their next game. That is... I really hope RESURGENT makes another game. Maybe something different or a deeper dive into Transience story, the choice is yours guys! And on a final note... releasing TRANSIENCE after all these years as your first game, this is such a massive achievement that you guys did and I do hope you'll make more games in the future! Great job guys! ... Will we see Bubble's MeowMix Enterprise on a possible sequel? Or maybe Julian's Rum Industries? Or maybe Ricky's Phook Right Off Inc.? For what's worth, I'd just settle with Phil Collins' cheeseburger parties! ;)
5 hours in and I'm really enjoying this game! There's truly a charm to the simplicity of old school shooters and stealth games that made them so fun. Transience does a great job at capturing that fun in 2025. Also, I like the ability to play it super stealthy or go in loud... So anyways, I started blasting!
Guy wanted to prove that indie devs can publish decent game with enough time and effort. I can confidently say that he did prove just that. Even thought there are some issues, like fps drops during gunfight sequences, and going thought the tedious first two levels. The overall package of the game is polished and earns the asking price. The art style and gunplay is decent. The world and story was actually interresting. It has that cyberpunk corpo theme. Honestly, for a first game with a small team. You did good BigFry
