Spec Ops: The Line reviews

Translated by
Microsoft from Deutsch
My first Contact was with Spec Ops: The Line On the Console, a Random Purchase I will never regret. I already knew The German Developer YAGER from other Games. I've never had in a Game such an Inhibition to shoot at Pixel As in Spec ops the Reason is quite simple. Because I was never sure if it was Enemy, Friend or civilian. In the Course of The Game I just shot at everything that moved no matter who it was. It Served one's own Safety and I thought before being shot at me I shoot and take the bad Conscience in purchase. This Game leaves the Player with a worse Feeling than while playing. That was my Feeling Anyway and there are no Heroes in the Game. I didn't find a Positive Ending Either, no matter what end you get it gets and that's one of the Reasons why I love the Game, finally not a hero shooter in which you're the Supersoldier, but a Punch straight into the Fresco. I wasn't positively surprised by the Story because it's perfect because it's not and you could have made more of the Story. But because, among other things, she addresses Post-traumatic Stress disorder and I think the Story is well staged. If you compare Spec Ops with other Representatives of the Genre, I think you can see the Quality of Spec Ops and the Story. No Shooter has taken Me so much yet and I have not experienced in any other Game what I know the War so dirty and ugly. This Experience also comes through Decisions you make, these Influences do not affect the Game but are rather emotional in Nature. Like, for example, I end the Suffering of this Person with my last Bullet or let me burn him alive. The Consequences of the Decision are well staged, sometimes as well as you have to swallow vigorously. I don't want to go into the Game at all, because I think you should experience it for yourself. A clear Recommendation.

It may look like another military shooter, but it's so much more. It makes virtual violence meaningful and encourages you to think twice before you pull a trigger again. 

If you played the game and liked it, I recommend you should read "Killing is Harmless: A Critical Reading of Spec Ops: The Line" by Brendan Keogh.
