Have you ever played a game where you didn’t understand what was happening? If so, you know exactly how it feels to play BrightMemoryInfinite. Its actual gameplay is fun, but the rest is almost absolute and inconsistent mess. What am i doing The game tells you, but at the same time it doesn’t tell you anything. Why am I doing things in games? “For a reason,” you are simply told. It’s very difficult to follow while using Bright Memory Infinite. Overall, it’s not bad, but the first-person shooters / action games you can play on Switch are certainly better.
One of the highlights of Bright Memory Infinite is its gameplay. The easiest way to explain that is to combine a first-person shooter and an action game. If you are familiar with these franchises, consider combining Mirror’s Edge with GhostRunner. It’s an interesting mashup of shooter and action genres and has a lot to enjoy. Throughout the experience, you should always combine aspects of the game’s parkour with careful planning of how to attack the army of enemies in front of you. This strategy is even higher if you need to decide whether to shoot an enemy or use a sword for close range attacks. While each method has its advantages, it also has distinct drawbacks.
For example, a sword allows for a powerful close range attack that allows you to reflect bullets from your sword and return them to your enemies. What are the drawbacks? If there are 3 or more enemies in an area, they will be immediately shot down by the remaining enemies moving to the side. In many respects, gameplay is fun and can take dozens of hours.
The problem with Bright Memory Infinite is that you have no idea when or what is happening. You start by being called into a secret mission on a remote island. It sounds simple enough until you realize that the game doesn’t really tell you anything about your character, the person calling you, or why you’re going to this island. The bad guys are said to be on the island, which is fair enough, but I don’t know why they are bad guys. The game didn’t try to explain further throughout your adventure. Enemies emerging from a hole in the sky, interruptions of all sorts of dialogue from a commander, etc. are happening, but you are who they are, what they want, or what this is with you You will not know if there is a relationship.
To make matters worse, in my opinion, some sections of the game look like the cutscenes you’re looking at, except for the random quick-time events that were thrown. I’m not a fan of the game’s quick time event, and its gameplay elements are used to die many times over the years, but I know it’s worse than just hosting a quick time event mosquito? If any of them fail, you will have to start over from the beginning of the cutscene. This can go back just 30 seconds or even a few minutes.
Besides, I have no idea what’s going on in the story, so my other main problem with Bright Memory Infinite is that it feels more like a glorious tech demo than a video game. The technology behind the game is very impressive. Especially if it turns out that only one person created all the parts of the game. There are legitimate points that are so beautiful that they seem to have been created by hundreds of AAA developers. But the full experience you enjoy feels like trying to prove to the publisher that someone can make this game if they get the money. The dialogue is a bit funny, the environment is very repetitive, the enemy is even more repetitive, and it feels like it ended too early.
The overall experience seems to lack the sophistication that goes into a complete, complete video game. An example can be found very early on. When I crashed onto the island at the beginning of the game, I was told to kill two enemies on the beach before sneaking into a secret fortress. They both disappeared to the ground when I got to the beach and pulled out my gun to shoot the enemy. They were missing, and the game demanded that those two enemies be eliminated before you could move forward, so I couldn’t go anywhere and was completely trapped on the beach. Believe me, I tried. When I climbed the rocks and walls, I tried to throw myself into the sea, but I couldn’t go anywhere because I couldn’t see the walls. I literally had to reset the game, look at the opening cutscene again, redo the first beach sequence and then move on.
Maybe that particular instance is the glitch I’ve come across, and while someone else may not, it emphasizes something completely incorrect. Some work and some don’t, and many objects and people simply disappear for no reason. It was quite common to have to reload checkpoints as I suddenly lost what I had to do.
After all, is Bright Memory Infinite worth your time? Not in the current state. Thank you for the great gameplay and you can really be impressed by the fact that the game was created by yourself, but it’s not enough experience to justify your purchase. The pointless story of the game is very difficult to get to where I stopped worrying. It may look impressive, but frequent glitches, enemy discouragement, and checkpoint breaks can be frustrating to the experience. Also, it’s almost over. If it’s released and probably fixes more major bugs, try it if you’re interested in first-person shooters and action games. For everyone else, it may be best to leave BrightMemoryInfinite as it is.
