Commandos: Origins

Mój entuzjazm do tej gry skutecznie zgasł przez ilość błędów, a jeden z nich kompletnie odebrał mi chęć do dalszej gry i jakikolwiek szacunek do twórców. Chodzi o misję Rapture. Wyczyściłem całą wyspę – dosłownie wszystkich przeciwników, zebrałem każdy ukryty przedmiot i zrobiłem wszystkie zadania poboczne. Spędziłem nad tym dobre trzy godziny… i co? I nic. Łódka, którą mam odpłynąć, po prostu nie działa – nie rusza się. Wystarczyłoby przepłynąć nią kilka metrów i z pełną satysfakcją ruszyłbym dalej, do kolejnej misji. A tak? Totalna porażka. Odechciało mi się grać. Słabo. Naprawdę bardzo słabo.

Horrible Game. The interface is too un polished, can't make a commando run from hiding for a quick take down on command mode. Commandos can't jump down even a flight of stairs. The response to stand/crawl is so slow it feels bugged. Enemies feel dumb. There are no inventory or uniforms or special tools/weapons to be found. And there is almost no unique ability in the commandos that will make them useful: The knife is the only real tool you will be using, Not only is way behind Desperados 3, is way behind Commandos 2. I regret the purchase.

I'm a huge fan of the franchise, but this game is not what it could have been. Performance wise it has problems with long loading screens, framedrops (especially when using the view cone, a huge part of the game mechanic) and choppy intermittent video's. Besides that the buildup of the missions themselves are often very satisfying but their is little to no continuity between missions. I would have loved some more character building and more reward for exploration. For example, getting ingridients from different parts of the field to put together explosions. Getting tools for a ghilliesuit, tools to climb or hide, etc.. It has so much potential, but the execution is poor.

I have always loved Commandos series. It has been one of the best games. Thanks for releasing Commandos Origin, its really good. Its the second best game in the series, after Commandos 2, which is still the best. Love the mechanics of the game. I do miss one key feature, there's no inventory system. Inventory system was amazing feature in Commandos 2. If developers are thinking about another game, please do include inventory system. Second thing I want to mention, all the missions are great, except the last one. Being inside a castle was really hard to visualize and manage.

The idea it's great but badly executed. The game has sooo many bugs, animation bugs, mechanic bugs, coop bugs like getting kicked out when reloading. The coop mode is a half backed idea of handling multiple commandos at the same time like in the solo mode, but even when the mission has 3 commandos available, you can only play with one friend and so there are no complex mechanics at all because everything can be solved with a max of 2 commandos. I'll only recommend to buy it when in discount, and hopefully they fix those bugs soon.

Die Performance ist unterirdisch, schade um das Spiel. Hab die alten Teile sehr gerne gespielt!

Looks like the game has been well patched up with almost all the bugs fixed. There may be slight slowdowns in rendering at the corners of the viewing area, however this is most likely the game just scaling down extra movement outside the main mission focus zone. The final mission was pretty tough btw. Love the throwback to the original games such as the hard water factory, Leopold cannon (surprise here!), etc. Missed the old WW2 style cutscenes and narration, but this one seems to do the trick well too in connecting every mission together. Was waiting for Commandos to be remastered, but to be entirely re-done is just the icing on top. Definitely worth a playthrough as these missions will challenge you.
