It goes some interesting places from there, but though the script can be clunky and the characters are pretty predictable, it’s a fun and interesting story with lots of twists and turns and a heavy supply of long cut scenes that never bored me. Binary Domain tells the story of an international force of operatives, called a dust crew, going into Japan to investigate a robotics company that may be producing “Hollow Children,” or illegal robots that are indistinguishable from human beings. However, Binary Domain has some things going for it that make it an interesting and enjoyable experience despite its dated playstyle and various flaws. The environments are pretty small and limited by modern standards, the bosses are predictable to the point of seeming semi-scripted, and the weapons are mostly boring and repetitive (two assault rifles and a light machine gun that shoots like an assault rifle? You spoil me.) It has a tacked on multiplayer survival “horde” mode that nobody seemed to like. Playing it is a bit more awkward than any of those games, with cover-based shooting that never really feels great and clunky enemy movement and patterns. It’s a linear third person shooter heavily influenced by Gears of War and Uncharted, with a pinch of Vanquish for good measure. It's a shame that the game flows so badly - the artificial intelligence of your teammates just isn't acceptable for a squad based game in 2012.īuried here is a good game that plays like it has been released far too soon.It is clear from playing Binary Domain that it is a game of from early 2012. The environment and robots look great - boss robots are especially impressive. If you have a microphone, there are voice commands, but this doesn't work great and feels like a gimmick. Unlike in Mass Effect 3, where a teammate will move if you want their cover, in Binary Domain you will just have to go somewhere else. Their speach, while well acted, is often nonsensical, and they often get in your line of sight. Your teammates are what really spoil Binary Domain. Shoot a robot's legs and it will drag itself toward you, for example. When you're fighting a wave of oncoming robots, it can be easy to forget the flaws of the game, as the shooting is good, and the enemies react well to being shot. Binary Domain has a satisfying arcade feel to it, and the movement of your character and the weaponry is excellent.
