REDACTED Review

Back to the lab...

I grew up playing COD zombies, so when I came across REDACTED on Steam I was fairly interested. Although not a new concept, and from a pretty small studio, I thought, "Why not? It's a free game, I don't have anything to lose.". 

The game is what you expect from a small production: basic menus, clumsy animations, and bugs everywhere. In a nutshell, lacks refinement. But I was expecting that, and I wouldn't do a negative review unless it affects the gameplay and annoys the user. So you know already that these aren't the main problems, so the question is, what ruined my gameplay? Why am I giving a negative review?

I think my record was 12 minutes without a crash. The game would constantly freeze or shut down between waves of zombies, which as you can expect, is not really enjoyable. Each time you crash, you need to start all over again. It's not hard, just extremely annoying to repeat the same process over and over. We already have the base game, which is already quite repetitive in itself, but at least let us achieve something. After addressing the elephant in the room, let's go to what REDACTED does well. 

I enjoyed the whole tutorial, from start to finish. Simple and explains everything well. The narrator also helps a bit, I found quite funny the voices and the comments he would make. Sometimes they are a bit cringe, but it left me in a good mood. The "building" is well-placed in practice, I felt like I was playing house flipper for moments, and the shooting may be awkward sometimes, but it's good enough. It meets the expectations, but as I mentioned earlier, it needs some refinement.

Result: 3,5/10
