Commandos: Origins

nice

En la línea de las versiones anteriores, tal vez un poco difícil al principio si no lo has jugado nunca.

In its current state? I wouldn't buy it knowing what I know, not at full price. I'd recommend it ONLY if you buy it on heavy discount. The game looks beautiful. It's just the right amount of detail for this kind of game. They improved the characters a bit, giving them some more personality than in previous games. I guess they're a bit more jaded because this al happens BEFORE the previous games, so that too is a bit of a change I liked. I love the excerpts of history and explanations of why a particular mission is what it is and how it relates to actual events. Obviously none of these are historic. They're meant to be a game inspired by real events. And I like that a lot, but some narration of this would have been a bonus. But that's about it for positives. My negatives range from a small to huge. Gameplay is one big one, ngl, but not the biggest. It's workable. I only played on veteran and I just found myself re-doing all of the same moves over and over and over. I rarely found a use for anything else. My guys just end up dead after everyone within an unreasonable area just rushes me. It might just be my gameplay style, sure, but it never felt like I was incentivized to use the Tommy gun, or the silent pistol, or the pistols, grenades, mines... I can accomplish everything with a distraction, a lure and the bear trap or knives. And it's just a bit repetitive for me. In previous games I usually found a good use for most all of my gear, especially in Men of Courage. The stand out was the tank, but not in the best way. It was a refreshing change, but it was clunky and limiting in that every piece of wood could stop me, the techs trying to melee the Driver inside the tank pushed the tank around, like they had weight and physics etc. It's just strange. Music is another negative. A small but important one. It's just not very memorable. At all. I tend to play Men of Courage OST, or even Destination Berlin, just for the pleasure of vibing when I do chores or read. This one...eh. Small negative. But what breaks my game is the bugs and inconsistency. What i mean is these few repeating examples: 1. Spy can't pick up outfit because he can't reach it due to invisible wall in front of outfit. 2. Sapper's whistle triggers an NPC out of are of effect to bolt/b-line straight for him, see him and raise the alarm. 3. Floor visibility randomly changes and I have to find it in crucial moments or it just shifts the camera randomly to the roof and I cannot see the floor my selected commando is on. 4. NPCs seeing me from random elevations in locations where I am clearly in their striped view cones. There's also random jankiness in some spots, like being unable to select everyone if I also clip the minimap and then my selection square keeps reappearing for 5 or 6 times until it goes away. being unable to click on a Commando if there is another command in or around his space. Being unable to pick up random items or thrown items across the map. Stuff that just make it a huff-fest every time and it doesn't get fixed with a reload and it's just annoying.
