Product received for free damn Hitbox!
GAIN, released in 2016, is an infiltration FPS where we embody Xavier. Xavier has to look for documents. Xavier doesn't know how to aim. Xavier never thinks about taking more than five bullets for his pistol. Xavier's a moron.
The most:-the principle is really cool. It revolutionizes nothing like that, but the idea was cool. Just badly done.
-The powers are interesting. There is a Wallhack to see the enemies through the walls, a time-slowing spell. But no gauge to see if it can be used or not. You never know when you're capable of reviving power.
-100% fairly simple.
The minus:-already, very short. There are seven levels. That end in less than 10 minutes once you understand how to pass, what to kill, etc...
-The HITBOX.. RaaaaaaaaaaaAaAAAAaAAh.... The trick to not miss in an undercover game... If you miss your shot however, no worries if the enemy is back, it will not bronze. However, if your head shot does not kill him, he will turn and kill you instantly.
-Perma-death could have been a good challenge. But with the problem of Hitbox, and Bah... It just makes it crazy.
-AI is magical. You can run next to it, shoot everywhere, as long as you don't get into her field of vision, from that moment on, you're just dead.
-3 weapons. A pistol with 5 bullets and a sensational dispersion. A throwing knife (which could have served as a short but good knife...) and a bow that does not kill.
Conclusion: GAIN is a bad game. At least, poorly realized. (Hitbox, IA, content, etc...) Too bad, because the principle was nice.

Well...
The Concept of the Game is good. Unfortunately, implementation is not at all.
Concept The Goal sounds simple: Collect a Document, then go to the Exit. The Catch: Guards run across the Map on set Routes. When they see you they kill you with just one Shot and you start again at Level 1. As a Player, you have a Pistol with a limited Number of Shots and a Throwing Knife Per Level. From Level 2 you can slow down the Time for the Guards and from Level 3 you can freeze them with a bow for a certain Amount of time.
The Guards, like their Field of view, you can see with a Kind Of X-ray vision.
Impressions First of all, the Game seems very difficult, but you can find out the Paths on which the Guards run quite quickly. With this Knowledge and the Field of View displayed, it is actually no Problem killing the Guards ... Actually. With the Gun and the Knife you feel at most half of all Attacks, as the Guards ' Hit boxes are set extremely poorly. In addition, the Pistol seems to fail completely from a Distance of perhaps 4m and thus fulfills the Purpose of a Melee Weapon.
Apart from that, the Guards themselves are also relatively stupid. You can follow them at Every turn or Kill a Security Guard standing right next to them without the Guard noticing anything about it. However, if she takes note of you, she starts shooting at you. The Guards don't always hit but mostly. Even from the most impossible corners. Often they don't even appreciate you from a Look while they shoot you.
The Controls I found to be extremely spongy and the Graphics to be very modest, even at high Quality.
Also, the Fact that the Game likes to display Error Messages at Your Whim and hangs up in the process does not necessarily promote the fun of The game (my Computer Meets the Requirements of the recommended Hardware).
As a Demo version, the Game would certainly not even be bad, but to call this Product finished is very daring. Unfortunately, the Game does not appear to have received any Updates since its Release. With the News, I only saw Blog entries from the Developer.
Summary Pro: Concept e.g. Creative Weapons Kontra: Hitboxing Range AI the guards graphics control error messages No updates Price I would give the Developer a Thumbs up for the good Idea but since the Implementation is so fatal, unfortunately this is possible Not; Even if you learn through the Blog Entries how much Time and Passion went into the Project.
