For 2009 you would expect Crysis. Caster feels pretty much opposite to Crysis. Terrible and unfinished to be honest. But game have some cult following and despite being super lackluster, gameplay is done right. Overall idea is a bit like Mega Man in 3D with multiple powers, some affecting the environment, that is empty map, but you can affect terrain and navigate super fast. Considering it's pretty bad, it have some...
Very Interesting game that's for sure. Not the worst but doesn't really offer anything more.
