John Carpenter's Toxic Commando

Here's the thing, this [b]isn't a bad game[/b] worthy of a negative review, by standard metrics. It's just disappointing and light on content. No, grinding out dailies and seasonal objectives like "Kill a nuker with a shove," to unlock what is just another form of a battlepass's skins, is NOT worthwhile content. This is disappointing in the way that, did Saber learn nothing from World War Z? From Space Marine 2? This game takes so much from those previous titles, and yet, is also somehow starting from square one, again? Maybe on a technical level, TC is kind of impressive from a gamer standpoint, and that is that the few hordes you're up and personal with, are all actually there, and not paper, invulnerable gifs waiting to transition INTO a shootable zombie. Every zombie you see, you can shoot (I'm pretty sure). I think, you should wait a full year before investing in this game, as with all their other games, it doesn't actual feel complete, until a year later. Which is honestly just baffling how all their games feel like early access until exactly a year later. -Tangents aside, token-Marvel characterization, unfortunately all pretty cliche, none that interesting. -I don't understand the voice acting direction- again, very "comedic" in tone, but they lack tangibility and urgency. -Graphics are, okay? Everything looks okay? (But is "bad") It's just disappointing seeing Space Marine 2, and then, this. +Gameplay is WWZ but first person, but it is more punchy than WWZ I think. +Soundtrack is catchy~ at times -Severe lack of content, there isn't that many maps, they're "replayable" and nothing amounts to grandness like WWZ or WH:SM2 does -Loading takes ages if your PC is older or weaker -Gun modding leaves a lot to be desired, (Yes I'm coming from a CoD background, but there's obvious choices to the best guns and their attachments and there's too few here) -Skills/Classes are powerful, but has clear balance issues with what's actually useful and what isn't I really hope the game comes into it's own- more characters, more maps, defo more guns and attachments, more classes- this is a good baseline (for "early access"). There's more thoughts, but I can't remember them right now~ a lot of negatives yeah, but I think it's just a very mediocre, OKAY 6/10 game. Burn off a couple hours with friends, it's not too expensive if you want a decent experience.
