Short, clichéd and repetitive.
This one is especially difficult for me because I'm a bit of a superfan of the game's director, the legendary Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil, Dino Crisis etc.).
But this game was probably one of the shortest game's I've ever played, which is a ble ssing in a way as every mission is exactly the same. Each level basically has two objectives, which are:
1. Destroy all enemies.
2. Reach the destination.
That is literally it, absolutely nothing to make you think, just constantly shooting down an incredibly small variety of enemies, with an equally small variety of weapons.
The storyline itself is also very basic. Futuristic, typical Russian antagonist, typical chain-smoking macho protagonist, predictable twists at the end.
But every game does have it's positives. The quality of the PlayStation 4 remaster is outstanding, and feels like a new PS4 game. The design of everything in the game is also excellent, although the characters themselves are pretty run-of-the-mill, their designs are somewhat unique and look great. The same can be said for the design of the the map and scenery.
Overall, a great looking game, that's let down terribly by the gameplay.
Sorry, Shinji, still love you!

Map can be difficult to navigate
This game was absolutely legendary in helping to shape the course of video games. The ability to free roam the land of Hyrule was absolutely unheard of. The variety of enemies to fight and dungeons to explore were ahead of its time. The need to find items to be able to progress on your quest was absolutely innovative, but where the game suffers is the extremely high difficulty and the overall barrenness of the world. That is most definitely due to the limitations of the time, but the fact still remains that the majority of the map was pretty much the same. Overall its still a good game and an integral part of gaming history.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Constant Craving in Books
May 7, 2019
This is the first book by this author that I've read. This is a second chance love story with the added enemies to friends story. The prologue just sucks you into the story from the start. This book has amazing characters which are really well written. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

The story is very compelling (1 more)
The setting is unique
Perfection
Within the first two hours, I was hooked. The game has Assassin's Creed gameplay, but managed to make it feel way more fluid. The enemies are varied and interesting to fight.
The game could definitely use heavier RPG elements, but what already exists is compelling.
You will not find more entertainment for anywhere close to this game's price.
