This game is truly ubershit, even Homefront is better than this low budget crap.
Hmm I don't know what to think. Homefront was an amazing game, I loved it from start to finish, very detailed, handle great, guns are great, fun to play, only problem is that it was just too short. This isn't even comparable.
I usually even like low quality shooter more than most people, but I couldn't finish to first level here. Everything is just brown, there no other colors in the game. Environment aren't really inviting either, another version of damaged middle east buildings. Controls and guns handle like shit. Story doesn't seem advanced at all neither. Even with my top of the line PC I get a laggy feeling with graphics to medium, and they are ugly. Update didn't help. Don't think I'll give it another chance unless somebody says "Hey, game start getting good a few levels further on!".

Patch details, seems it didn't do much (Based on the replies below that post.) even with these adjustments.

We removed the experimental SSAO and Shadow Quality settings and readjusted some more things under the hood.
Am I reading this correctly?? If so...
Amazing way to fix the performance problems!! Remove the settings/effects from the game!
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
Well judging from the videos it's a good thing that they removed that horrible uber-dark SSAO... they should also eliminate the brownish palette/blinding bloom and finally the game will be playable without sunglasses
Upon receiving a review copy of Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops, I was presented with two new "firsts". One was the knowledge that Shadow Harvest existed at all (was anyone aware of this before it popped up on Steam?) and the other was the fact that the publisher had attached a "Letter to the reviewer". It reads as a mission statement for the game, meant to be read before playing to more fully understand the intent of the developers. Immediately, I became wary; after all, don't games usually speak for themselves? I didn't need a lecture beforehand to enjoy Assassin's Creed, or a history lesson before playing Civilization. Regardless, I read the letter, curious as to what developer Black Lion needed so badly for me to know before I deigned to boot up their pride and joy.
The letter starts off with a wholesale lambasting of the current day shooter genre, bemoaning auto-healing and extensive pre-rendered animations and cutscenes as having "gone too far" away from the rightful challenge that a game should have. They go on to affirm their commitment to the strategic use of medpacks and multi-approach level design. And honestly, at this point, I am fully supportive of their sentiments. But while I give their intro letter high marks, I can do no such thing for the actual game.
Ah, with such a noble cause, how could they deliver such a turd?!
