Started on "Concrete Genie" finally.
Interesting idea.
Bit slow.
You can kind of feel how "old" it is, I bought it ages ago AFTER it took forever to come out.
But yeah, it's heartfelt...simplistic storyline...nice enough to look at.
Pleasant music.
Dunno if I'll continue or not.


On PC, I've been playing "Terminator: Resistance" which I have to say is probably one of the best (not that the bar is high) games to come out of this franchise.
Time and again, I've been let down.
In fact, the only ones I actually LIKED were the 16-bit versions of Terminator & Terminator 2...and even those had their shortcomings.

So T:R, good sound, the T-800s look true to form, as to the large flying ships.
The "other" robots they've introduced are a mixed bag, not bad.
The music is decent, though nothing really new. (Still think the best Terminator related music was the cool synth score in T1)
The combat is pretty standard FPS fare.

Visually...aside from the facial animations which aren't great and some pretty simple vehicle models, it gets the feeling of the "post judgement day" wrecked world. Everything is largely settled, but it's empty and smashed up.

I'd say it FEELS like you're in the future Terminator world, which I like.
Storyline is not bad, new characters, No "Connor" stuff for once.

Thus far I'd give it a 7/10
Steam has it on sale at the moment. It's not horrible.
