a camera é horrorosa e o jogo fica craxando vai sefuder

Advent Rising is one of the biggest collosal failures I have ever played to a point its comical I remember seeing ads for this game everywhere on the internet and every magazine imagineable when I was a kid and even heard it was advertised in theaters halo style in some countries and branded as a halo killer with its scifi setting and big open areas AND it had Orson ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Scott Card's name attached on to it. YES the writer of Ender's Game is somehow attached to this mess but why is it a mess you ask? Let's start with: [h3]Story[/h3] Tonally weird and abrupt. It has a lot of interesting ideas but never bothers to fully explore on them with a lukewarm cast at best. Our protoganist Gideon is ehhh not the worst the thing but definetly way to tryhard at times especially when gains space magic his fiance Olivia is so forgetable that I googled "advent rising girl" to remember her name so I can write it in this review his brother Ethan is cool and their dynamic had some interesting themes to explore but never properly explored And rest of the cast is rushed in their storytelling couse of the games breakneck pacing, in the entire campaign I only saw this game breath twice and one of them was prolouge oh and If you wonder about the spacemagic I mentioned earlier its quite litreally carbon copy of force and every power ever from star wars jedi academy and no Im not saying this to be cynical game tries to explain these powers ONCE and it does it so vaguegly that my brain immidietly went "oh its the force and its many cousins" If all this sound off for a Orson Scott Card script thats couse he didnt wrote the entire game, he wrote some of the screenplays but majority of the story was written by the devs themselves [h3]Gameplay[/h3] Becouse its labeled as a halo killer and main platform of choice was Xbox I decided to plug in my controller and play the game in its intended way only for my controller to annihalate the game and made me install a fan patch for it, appereantly controller support on this game is gamebreakingly broken. After a fan patch later I could finally hop in and play the game and gameplay is loop is essentially your typical action adventure affair, Gideon can use melee or wide range of weapons with acrobatics + space magic to fight with aliens with some basic platforming here and there. Now when I describe this type of gameplay your mind goes Ocarina of Time or Tomb Raider Legend right? where you lock onto an enemy and have 360 movement around them but camera is always locked onto that enemy WELL NO!. Camera spins each time you target a different in enemy and you swap targets via the second analog stick or mouse scroll on keyboard which means on crowded areas camera spins around so much that I actually got motion sickness and had to take a break from playing, crowded areas are really common on this game as well at times feeling like a purgotory then some intense space adventure but I digress. Platforming is also broken as gideon can get stuck basiaclly everywhere not to mention how unstable the game itself, its a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mess Even the level design is weird like enemies are not placed as obstacles but like backround decorations as If they are houseplants so you can skip half the battles in this game by simply goin into the main path so much for that ACTION of Action Adventure Overall Advent Rising is a big mess, it promised too much and tried way too hard to be a better halo and fell down so hard that getting a big name like Orson couldnt even helped them Not worth its price which is quite tragic unless some maniac decides to buy the IP and remake the game from ground up

¡Qué juego más frustrante! Jugándolo, se siente el potencial épico: una historia grandiosa, poderes psiónicos divertidos y una banda sonora espectacular. Pero la experiencia se arruina constantemente por bugs técnicos, una cámara revoltosa y un control que no termina de pulirse. Es como jugar un borrador de una obra maestra. Terminé con la sensación de haber vivido algo ambicioso, pero claramente inacabado y lleno de promesas rotas.

Отличная сюжетная экшн-космоопера, если вас не отпугивает устаревшая графика. Динамичные перестрелки, использование футуристического оружия и сверхспособностей. Есть возможность прокачки способностей, включая телекинез, создание щитов, замедление времени и другие. Главный плюс игры — потрясающий саундтрек, созданный композитором Томми Талларико.
