What players say
Pretty good story and gameplay. The rust system is simple but has impact in the story. Kinda surprised it flopped.

Binary Domain is a decent cover shooter that has a lot of charm and interesting ideas. The gunplay and movement is definitely slower paced but its solid. One of the most unique things I've ever encountered in any game is that the story actually requires you, the player, to speak through a device to respond to characters. This affects character relationships, gameplay, and even story. Its definitely a cool concept...
this is what we are missing in modern gaming, a game about absolute badasses, men are men, women are women and a top tier Sci-fi story and everything is over the top. The dialogue is bad but hilarious. Loved it. 10/10. The destruction of bots as party by part is incredible, loved the game must buy. 10/10
