Boiling Point: Road To Hell (PC)
Infamously buggy free-roaming FPS/adventure/RPG thing.
And it is buggy, oh yes. Subtitles don’t match dialogue, dialogue often doesn’t play, game crashed after half an hour or so of play. I’m not too bothered. I’d killed a woman in the starting town, so all the civilians either ran away from me or shot me, which was getting annoying. And I’d made enemies of the government by killing an informer in protective custody, so the police were shooting me every time I wandered into town, too. The bandits liked me, but who cares about them? And I kept dying and losing guns and stuff, which was annoying. Combat seemed to be all about the head shots, which would be fine if I could ever get any.
And, boy, it’s ugly. I’m sure technically it’s nice and clever and everything, but on normal settings everything looks horrible close up.
