Agent 64: Spies Never Die

Pretty much if you played golden eye back in the day and liked it, buy this. It controls great. Great price also for what you are getting. I'm excited to see all the custom maps that will get made over time.

really appreciate how far someone can go with a game. really reminiscent of goldeneye style games and a good amount of challenges and secrets. good story too. cool to see this style of game arise this year. thanks for making it

Agent 64: Spies Never Die feels like a genuine love letter to GoldenEye rather than a modern game simply wearing an N64 skin. It nails the N64-era look and feel while making some smart modern improvements. The levels are well designed, objectives are straightforward, movement feels smooth, and swapping between weapons and usable items is much easier than digging through menus or cycling through all of your items. The enemy AI even captures some of that wonderfully squirrel-brained GoldenEye behavior, just without quite as much “How the hell did that guy see me through a wall?” The references are everywhere: exploding boxes, exploding filing cabinets, familiar enemy reactions, and body armor that thankfully doesn't explode when you shoot it. My biggest complaint? Shooting somebody in the ass doesn't make them grab both cheeks and jump in the air. Missed opportunity! I've seen complaints about it feeling too much of a speed run style game. I will counter that with something simple... To get the unlocks, yes, you have to move quick. Goldeneye had the same thing. You can take your time, go for headshots, and enjoy the game. So don't expect anything otherwise. If you grew up playing GoldenEye, this is absolutely worth a playthrough. Or ten.

Agent 64 stands out as being such a unique game for this day and age. It really feels like I jumped back 20 years and played a new game of that time. It leans into that with it's controls which feel wonky at first but over time I grew to love them. It really gives the game such a unique flavor. Co-op was welcome and a really fun time. The star of the show was the level design and to me it even beats out some of the greats like Doom 2016. The levels all feel unique and what they have you doing feels interactive and not just the same combat encounters with moderately different landscapes around. It's a game with a lot of charm that doesn't overstayed it's welcome and allowed me to re-experience a piece of gaming history (that's at least what it felt like).

A fun retro game inspired by perfect dark and goldeneye. The challanges are a little more annoyng to play on single payer and not scaled at all to number of players, and there are a few features missing that'd be nice (more description of the arena game types and bot types, more game modes) But overall impresive as an Indie game made by a single person, and worth the price.

It was exactly what I wanted.

THIS GAME ROCKS!!!
