Bloody Good Time

w xbox 360 game

It has some cool ideas, but it’s a dead game now

[h2]Lights, Camera, 100% Completion[/h2] This one really hit the spot for me. "Bloody Good Time" is basically a little hidden gem for achievement hunters. I doubt many other kinds of players would find much value in playing it today, aside from maybe people who enjoy older Source engine games. It gives off strong "Team Fortress 2" vibes with its gimmicky gameplay, stylized visuals, and humorous approach. Other than that, though, the game is pretty mid. That said, even a mediocre multiplayer game from around 2010 feels better nowadays than a lot of modern multiplayer titles that are packed with soulless battle passes, loot boxes, and similar monetization systems. The achievements are very straightforward and don't require much grinding. You can unlock all of them against bots in like 3-5 hours, and since console commands are enabled, you can simply use god mode and noclip to make the process much faster. It's easy to earn around 400 stars in a single match, making the 2,000 stars required for one of the achievements a breeze. That said, I think if I were playing against real opponents today, I'd find the guard mechanic pretty annoying. I don't like being restricted by random NPCs that prevent me from using my weapons. If there were some reliable way to outplay them, I wouldn't mind as much. Unfortunately, once they start chasing you, they'll catch you with little effort unless you've fully maxed out your sleep. I also really liked the game's movie studio theme. If you're a movie fan, there honestly aren't many games centered around filmmaking or the world of cinema, so the setting feels refreshing. It's just a shame the game doesn't take the concept any further. The whole Hollywood backdrop mostly serves as an excuse for the multiplayer chaos instead of being explored in more interesting ways. It had the potential to be much more than just a unique coat of paint. So yeah, if you're an achievement hunter or someone who enjoys older Source engine games, "Bloody Good Time" is a solid pick. Just don't expect some amazing, groundbreaking multiplayer experience. The game can feel a little janky at times, but the core gameplay is fun enough that it never becomes a major issue. [h2]6/10 - A fun hidden gem for achievement hunters and fans of older Source engine games, with a unique movie-themed setting. It's a bit janky and held back by some annoying mechanics, but it's still worth trying (for 1€ during sales btw).[/h2]
