The biggest problem with the game is its short length, hardly explained story, and abrupt end. This is simply a necessity and even playing on normal difficulty (with the difficulty going from easy, through normal and hard, to insane) it would be near impossible too make do without it. It is very important to have a good sense of where you are and to be constantly mapping out the environment so that you can use it to its fullest. There are a few parts that don't look fantastic, the main menu for example, but overall it is quite high definition and beautiful.Īnd the gameplay is almost as interesting as the presentation. While it is a FPS, it plays very much like a top-down shooter, with a huge amount of the environment being destructible and it being very important that you use at least some of it to help take out the hordes of enemies. These high definition graphics are replaced with a comic book style story between the levels, which overall was just OK. The game is completely full of explosions, electricity, bright signs and lights, huge structures in the distance, and large and small hovercraft going by at all distances. Graphics wise, Hard Reset has a lot of attitude. If this was just one more FPS produced by mainstream gaming I would be talking about this game with decidedly more style then normal with some interesting game mechanics that at the very least makes it somewhat unique and worth a try But it is not just one more FPS, it is one of the only original indie high definition FPSes. Hard Reset is a very enjoyable game with some great high definition graphics, and as such is a unique entity in the world of indie gaming.
So if you like the occasional FPS you should check this one out. Just finished reviewing Hard Reset, a cyberpunk FPS, over at The Indie Elitist.
