Shelf Life

Shelf Life is a free to play first person shooter set in a strange dystopian world controlled by huge companies. You play as a human ballistics dummy who gets caught in the middle of a hostile takeover and has to fight his way through the Edison facility. The biggest strength of Shelf Life is its humour. The game makes fun of big companies, capitalism and corporate culture while throwing you into a completely ridiculous situation. The story and world are clearly not meant to be taken seriously. The shooting is simple but fun. You get a strange selection of weapons, including a rocket pistol, a lighter that works like a flamethrower and a laser rifle that shoots NFTs. The weapons fit the weird style of the game and make the combat more entertaining. The enemies are also pretty strange. You are fighting reptilian drones from a rival company, which fits the bizarre corporate setting. The different enemies and weapons keep the combat from feeling completely repetitive. The levels are another good part. You travel through facilities and areas based around the game's strange version of corporate life. The environments have a colourful and unusual style that matches the humour. The biggest problem is the amount of content. Shelf Life is a small game and there is not a huge amount to do once you finish the main experience. It is more like a short comedy FPS than a massive shooter with loads of progression. The player base is also extremely small. SteamDB shows an all time peak of only 3 players, although this does not really affect the game since it is a single player experience. The game currently has a Mostly Positive reception, but there are still only a small number of reviews. Overall, Shelf Life is a weird and funny little FPS that has a lot of personality. The combat is enjoyable, the weapons are ridiculous and the corporate satire gives the game something different. It is short, but since it is free to play, there is not much stopping you from giving it a try. Rating: 7.6/10

RAM gun that shoots expensive AI gen, is needed.

Poorly thought out, poorly designed, overall just a terrible joke of a game.
