MORE INFORMATION:

• The combat visual is a hot mess. While it may look artistic and stylish, visibility is a disaster as you get colors splashed out and melted all over your screen with camera shaking and light flicking during combat.
• TTD is terribly short (no difficulty selection). It is so glaring that the game even includes an in-game cheat for players to mitigate it. As most enemies can kill you with two hits and in seconds, the combat heavily relies on high mobility and quick reaction to dodge. But thanks to combat visual, it is hardly possible to see enemies’ projectiles. Therefore, you will have lots of sudden death not knowing what kill you, if you don’t or can’t keep moving around, making each encounter more of a struggle to survive than enjoyment. While it doesn’t necessarily mean it is hard as long as you don’t touch the Formation mission, it definitely feels unfair, infuriating and stupid.
• Death brings you back to the last “bonfire” for no good reason but adds some extra frustration.
• The game only allows to equip two fire modes at once, causing the combat to lose lots of momentum because you have to go to the menu to switch to others.
• Weapon design is unbalanced because most fire modes are useless. They are either hard to use but yield non-ideal results or do not differentiate enough and functionally overlap.
• Unlike most shooters that reward accuracy, the game punishes this intention as aiming is a big cause to get hit. Your best weapon is the launch ability that doesn’t require aiming and does more damage, making your gun basically a buffer when the ability is in cooldown, which I don’t think is a right and balanced way to do a third-person shooter.

Technical Details

• Performance: I tested the game on both a 1080p and a 1440p monitor. I was able to reach a steady 60 FPS with medium ray-tracing enabled in 1080p. If you wish to utilize this technology on higher resolutions, DLSS is a must. Closing the map overlay often results in a lag spike.
• Polish: In one of the latter areas, the walls of another area glitches in and out. There's also an issue with text being rendered in low resolutions when standing just a few meters away.
