E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy
Posted: Sun Dec 25, 2011 7:26 pm
So a friend of mine had some extra cash, and bought me, herself, and another two people a copy from the 4 pack that was on sale this Christmas weekend. While the voice acting is weird to me (well, hearing a game in French with deep voices is kinda trippy to me, so...), the game really flows well. A plus side is that it's on Source. There's a lot of things you can do with Source, and E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy is certainly an example of fine development. The AI can be a little dodgy sometimes, but all games have their AI problems. The game really is interesting in many different ways in which I cannot describe.
I believe a game like this should not be based on looks alone...and should be played hands-on to see what I mean about it being interesting. The game design kind of reminds me of a mix between Half-Life 2 and Deus Ex, with a bit of Killzone thrown in there (some of the enemy troops look like Helghast, or at least remind me of them, despite me never having played Killzone...), also feels like there's some Japanese and Greek style things in there too. It really is a mixed package...
The best parts, I think, are the RPG elements and the fact it has coop so you can play with your friends (and a solo campaign, which I am playing at the moment. :p). If you're on the edge about it still, I guess you could find some videos on YouTube about it. Overall I like it. At first, it's a bit confusing, but there are tutorial videos in-game that you can watch to kind of understand more about the mechanics. There are enough weapons and classes to keep the game fresh, I think. So, it's pretty fun. Can be annoying at times, but all games have their annoyances somewhere.
I recommend people here to at least give it a bit of a try. Right now it's on sale on Steam for $4.99 USD, so it's 50% off. It was 75% when my friend got it, so try and get it when you can if interested.
Peace out people.
