Corruption 2029
The Bearded Ladies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to play a few fast-twitch style games when I was younger, such as Counter-Strike<\/em> and a couple of the Battlefield titles. But truth be told, I\u2019ve always preferred slower-paced stealth games such as the ones in the Metal Gear and Splinter Cell franchises, to the aforementioned genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I did play the faster-paced shooters, I knew that I\u2019d be running up against kids that could hip-snipe me from 1,000 yards away and put me away with one oddly accurate headshot. To mitigate that, I\u2019d routinely utilize an unusually patient and tactical playstyle. Knowing that my young human adversaries couldn\u2019t sit still for long and possessed minuscule attention spans at best, I\u2019d often come out on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Corruption 2029<\/em> is one of the types of games that appeal to me. It requires an absurd amount of patience and planning. Fortunately, you won\u2019t have to put up with any 11-year-olds bunnyhopping around and head-shotting you from the hip. However, you will have to deal with AI adversaries that always have you outgunned and outnumbered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Corruption 2029,<\/em> you play as three elite members of the UPA (United Peoples of America). The setting is a near-future North America that has been decimated by a second civil war. When the game starts, you learn that your small squad, who was traveling in a drop pod, has been shot out of the sky and crashlands behind enemy lines. You must survive with whatever meager resources you have or can find while making your way through hostile territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game mechanics-wise, Corruption 2029<\/em> feels very much like a Splinter Cell title since you\u2019ll constantly be sneaking around in real-time. Map exploration is a big part of a typical mission because you\u2019ll want to get a lay of the land before initiating any contact with your enemies. When you do spot them, it\u2019s also wise to study their patrol patterns in order to see where their placement will be for optimal ambush tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combat begins once an enemy happens to spot you or once you take your first shot at them. When this happens, the game switches into its turn-based mode, so in this way, it\u2019s reminiscent of Divinity: Original Sin <\/em>2\u2019s combination of real-time exploration mixed with turn-based tactical combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stealth is a huge part of Corruption 2029<\/em> because you\u2019ll most likely die if you go in Rambo-style; the enemy is simply too numerous and have superior firepower when compared to your 3-man squad. Therefore, utilizing silenced weapons to quietly take down isolated enemies is the way to go. If a single adversary survives your initial assault, they\u2019ll radio their comrades and you\u2019ll soon find yourself in a world of hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you proceed through the game and rack up successful missions, you\u2019ll be given access to additional types of weapons and abilities that can alter the way you approach them. However, due to how strong your enemies are, you\u2019ll always want to maneuver your squad into locations that are optimal for synergistically taking them out in the most efficient manner possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because missions in Corruption 2029<\/em> are so challenging, when you do manage to pull off a successful ambush or flaking maneuver, you\u2019ll feel a sense of elation (and relief) that can only be experienced when you\u2019re going up against superior forces. In other words, through shrewd tactical planning and patience, David can (and ofter will) defeat Goliath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gamers who don\u2019t possess a lot of patience or who aren\u2019t that good at tactical planning, probably won\u2019t like Corruption 2029<\/em> that much. But people who are into creeping around in the shadows, waiting for the perfect time to strike, will definitely get an adrenaline rush when they snatch victory from the jaws of defeat during the game\u2019s numerous, incredibly difficult missions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCORE: 84%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corruption 2029 \u00a0has some pretty good looking graphics that make its stealth gameplay truly shine. However, you want to have a pretty beefy gaming PC or gaming laptop in order to play it at a decent framerate. So, you may just want to invest in a decent gaming rig:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
