I played this on the streaming service with PS5 and I have to say, it ran a lot smoother than previous times I've used it. That being said I can't be sure if that influenced some of the gameplay issue I had or not. Overall it was mostly fine but it didn't feel great. There are few studios that actually make good FPS games and while Insomniac makes incredible TPS like Ratchet and Clank, their foray into the Resistance series doesn't feel as polished. I was really hoping for something more in this game in terms of scope that it didn't deliver on. There were definitely some great set pieces and cool enemies but then you had things like sparse weapon placements and the terrible Swarm boss fight mechanic that really ruined things. Overall I'd still recommend it but just understand game design has come a long way from when this was released and it shows.
