Bulletstorm
Welcome back fellow Steemians, it's that time of the week again, time for your weekly game review fix.
I'm always happy when it's the beginning of the month, well you guys and gals obviously know by now, because it's free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers day. So how it works is, the first Tuesday of each month you get some free games from the good folks at PlayStation, and for the annual fee of about $58, for two to sometimes three games each month for the whole year, it just so worth it. This month there was actually four games, two of which are big games and the other two more indie and arcade style games. Along with Bulletstorm, there was also Yakuza Kiwami, not really my cup of tea, as well as Burly Man at Sea which is an indie game that looks rather interesting, and lastly Roundabout a fun button smashing arcade game.
I basically just started the game, so I have only really touched on some parts and just gotten into the main story. It honestly feels like someone combined Doom with maybe like a much more ridicules version of Fortnite, and then ended up with this really over the top first person shooter. The only downside is that unfortunately this is not a multiplayer game, which just goes to show you how far technology has come in just a few years. On that note, interestingly enough this is actually a game from back in 2011, which last year, got a full graphics overhaul and has been remastered for the current game systems.
Our story this time takes place in the 26th century, where the universe is run by the Confederation of Planets.
Our protagonist is Grayson Hunt, who is the leader of Dead Echo, a black ops team under command of Star General Sarrano. The story starts when Sarrano orders the team to assassinate an alleged criminal, a man known as Bryce Novak, but it turns out that he is actually a civilian reporter, documenting civilian deaths caused by the Dead Echo team. Realizing they have been tricked by the devious Sarrano, Grayson and his team desert their leader and become space pirates on the run from Sarrano's forces.
The story then picks up ten years later when Grayson commands a ship with his old teammates, and comes across Sarrano's battlecruiser, the Ulysses near the planet of Stygia. In a drunken rage, Grayson attacks and rams the Ulysses, the ships collide and crash land on the surface of Stygia, critically wounding some of his team. In order to save the team, he needs to leave the ship to find an energy cell for the ship's medical equipment. This is where all the fun begins.
Bulletstorm is an all out action game, with probably a little bit more of a crass humor to it than you are use to.
What sets this game apart from the rest of your typical first person shooter, is that the main focus of the game is to see just how creative you can be with killing the bad guys. Players are rewarded with points for performing insanely ludicrous and creative kills, the more crazy you can pull it off the better score you will get. Bulletstorm somehow feels like a 3D version of the that old arcade game Heavy Metal, for those of you old enough to know what I'm talking about. When it comes to the mechanics, the leash is your go to gadget and used mainly for pulling enemies, as well as objects towards you. There are a variety of super cool firearms available, each with distinct behavior, from a pistols, to assault rifle's that shoot charged shots, to a cannon that shoots grenades. Everything you need to cause complete and utter chaos, it's definitely a shoot first and destroy everything that moves and then shoot some more kind of game.
"Okay. Fine. We were all dead men anyway, dead for years now. Just needed to do this one last thing. Just had to make sure we didn't go to hell alone, General. I'm gonna take you... take every mother f@%king last one of you with us. And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell. Ten fathoms deep, on the road to hell." - Grayson Hunt
Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is a fun game that has been beautifully remastered to meet the graphic requirements of a 2017 first person shooter.
The humor does sometimes seem a little forced and at times cringy, but I have a chuckle or two. There is almost no difference to the story from the original game, so if you have already played this, please don't buy this one hoping for something new. I personally would not go and buy this, well other than it still being a 2011 game, there is just too much to choose from these day, and everything still coming. My biggest problem these day is actually just trying to find the time to play all the games, so it usually comes down to rather allocating that potential game time with newer games. Luckily this was a free game and if you made that decision long ago to get a PlayStation you have this for free too, or kind of free you are paying for the subscription at the end of the day. Please go try it out and let me know your thoughts on the game, or let me know if you played the original 2011 game and how that was.
Bulletstorm is a 2011 first-person shooter video game developed by Polish developer People Can Fly and the American company Epic Games.
For those of you who don't know, the developers People Can Fly in co-development along with Epic Games, were the good people behind the Gears of War series Fortnite, which you have probably been hearing a lot about lately. Bulletstorm is published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows way back in 2011. The game was then re-released in April 2017 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Steam for PC.
I give Bulletstorm a rating of 6.5/10
