USAC: Code Breach

taught me to restart a nuclear reactor and that my unfound hatred for the french was not unfound 8/10 would recommend PS: the french are controlled by ants and the fire ants in southern US are a deepstate operation by the french to control united states oil reserves

Was a good game for sure :D

Good game

I thought going into this it would be something more akin to We Were Here with asynchronous puzzle elements, but also had FPS elements. It doesn't do either of those things well, with generally one person doing something while the other one stands there, or sometimes feeding required information like the name of a computer. One person gets an entire arsenal, the other getting a single pistol that is not very effective. Most situations in the game lead to instant death rather than actual firefights, and even then with no human enemies and just stationary turrets or rarely robot dogs with guns, everything just felt clunky, especially towards the last third of the game where it was a series of instant death mechanics from just about everything. Would steer clear of this one even if you have a dedicated friend to play this with.

The tutorial bugged out at least 4 times, then when the game start your character is glued to its seat in a train ride that I felt was awfully long (probably because I was already pretty fed up after the buggy tutorial) while going through tunnels. I was too riled up for any puzzle, pettily dropped it just there and never came back to it.

7/10 This was an enjoyable and challenging co-op game with an interesting underlying story. However, numerous frustrations or annoyances from strangely unobvious sections as well as unsatisfying filler gunplay detracted from the overall experience. The action music was cool for the vibe but often played too long keeping the tempo too high especially when progress stalled. I ended up having to turn off the music because it became distracting. This game was worth picking up on sale but not at full price, especially since each person needs a copy to play.
