What players say
If you came here because you crave more Sprawl Zero like me, this is not it. Evrything in this game is a little bit worse then in sequel-prequel. But it's still okay, nothing more.
quite a nice game, inspired by doom eternal's gameplay loop but more simplified in a cyberpunk aesthetic. brings back that Y2K classic look in some maps which is nice and coupled with a nice soundtrack and mgs inspired artwork, it makes for an appealing game. it lacks real challenge and can be a bit tedious with limited movement sets which is just wall-running really, crouch sliding in not viable but shotgun jumps...
There's some great GITS aesthetics to enjoy. But the gameplay itself is neither bad or good. Starts all right, but becomes run-of-the-mill circle hopping and weapon swapping. All done much better elsewhere. Even with it's short playtime of 4 hours, it overstayed its welcome. I kept thinking I wish there was a better game attached to the soundtrack and environments. Luckily Sprawl Zero is exactly that.
