Blacklight: Retribution

Originally posted : October 2nd, 2012 @ 1:02am

A decent, fun F2P FPS that had just enough new tricks in the bag to make it different than other experiences. Yes there are unlockable customization items (guns, armor, tools, and killstreak items) that to own permanently you have to grind to afford, I don't mind as it's something to look forward to buying what I want. There are cheaper rentals too that'll remain competitive with personally customized guns.

The game is pretty fast paced, so twitch reflexes and good use of tactics are key. Overall it is a standard PVP FPS really, just with neat modifications like cloaking, revives, temporary wall hack ability, mech piloting, deployable turrets and mines all put together with a good variety of game types. Though the amount of maps available for certain modes, 1 each for two types of game modes, leaves something to be desired.

This doesn't really stand out as something amazing, but it's not bad either. If you like the genre, it's good and has future content to come.

TL;DR : Futuristic customization heavy Call of Duty with wall hacks. Try it out?
