Hard Reset PC Review
It is hard to disagree. I don't know exactly what gives it that feel, but it certainly is there.
The graphics are good, although some of the objects feel like they come from an older game.
The lightning arcs look great, and you will probably see a lot of them - one of the things the game encourages is blowing up electrical panels and the like to fry your enemies.
Your enemies - at least in the demo - are all different kind of robots. They look very nice and seem on the quirky side - they have a few different cool looking moves.
The weapons and upgrades look nice. You have the classic rifle and plasma guns, as well as many others - applied as firing modes on the projectile and energy weapons.
The weapon above, for example, is an electrical mortar. It nicely spreads lightning on your enemies, and then explodes.
The cut-scenes are comic book panels, with nice art.
I really liked the demo. However, it was pretty short, so I don't know if it gets boring after a while.
I really recommend checking out the demo for Hard Reset.
Update: I've bought the full game, and I've been playing. The action hasn't changed much from the demo, and I still like it.
Some sections are really full of small bots that come in groups, and the electrical mortal seems even more useful in these situations, as it can hold areas for a few seconds. That is particularly useful when enemies come in batches from more than one side.
