This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of Maj. Fletcher, a soldier tasked with protecting a futuristic city from intelligent machines. Players use machine guns, plasma rifles, pulsar canons, and explosives to destroy robots and cyborgs in frenetic combat. Firefights are highlighted by cries of pain, realistic gunfire, and large explosions; some partially-human enemies emit blood effects when shot. A variety of comic book–style cutscenes also depict characters being killed/dismembered by mechanical creatures. In some playable sequences, players can shoot human corpses, resulting in scattered limbs and large splashes of blood. During the course of the game, one city billboard depicts a topless woman in the background. The word “f**k” can be heard in the dialogue.

Warsaw based studio Flying Wild Hog, are no strangers to FPS-games, rather, they are connoisseurs of the genre who know how gamer hearts work. In “Hard Reset”, they have managed to combine the spirit and feel of the old school shooter with amazing graphics, and it is a wild ride, if not for a lifetime, then for at least 10 – 15 hours if you are an acheivement hunter.
In the extended version of the game, you get the DLC “Exile” for free, which is quite generous in these times. Previous Hard Reset-owners can also download the DLC for free, which keeps the action going for at least two more hours.
Storywise, there is nothing new here, but there doesn’t have to, which is something I really liked about the game. You go from one scene to another, knowing exactly what you should do, just like in the old days; so be prepared to use your tiggerfinger alot.
Conclusion: If you are looking for a nice looking shooter to get you through the day, you need to play Hard Reset.
