Mini Review: Spec Ops: The Line


Pros:
-Interesting plot, quite unlike anything in the genre
-Soundtrack is very fitting
-Graphics are great, and the game's art style makes it stand out
-Voice acting is top notch
-Emotion, something rare in a shooter

Cons:
-Gameplay is nothing special
-A little on the short side
-Characters are lacking in detail

Overall Score: 8.5/10

Thoughts: Spec Ops: The Line is the best shooter I've played in a long time.  It's not only intelligently made, but also makes the players really think.  It makes them question their actions, not unlike games such as Nier and Shadow of the Colossus.  And for applying that in the shooter genre, I applaud Yager and 2K Games.

*Note: Multiplayer is not taken into account with this review, as I believe it would not impact the game's score.
