Though I chose easy, many parts of this were not so straightforward, and anyone thinking easy mode would be a cakewalk has another thing coming when it comes to dispatching the more senior enemies. It feels like a really well-made rail shooter, smattered with low-level simplistic puzzles, but you get to choose the direction and pacing of the gameplay.Īiming your gun and pulling the trigger is super intuitive, and reloading requires you to slam in a fresh magazine, pull back the bolt, draw the slide back and release to chamber your next round. Though the game gifts you a few, small, interactive puzzles to negotiate, such as pulling a lever cranking a shut-off valve, or driving a crane to reposition haulage containers, but there is no real meat to these small sections of the level, which is a shame. The whole time all you see is your gloved hands reaching out and gripping each glowing yellow ledge it's utterly enthralling and entirely captivating. The feeling of exhilaration and the level of endorphins pushed around you are incredible. The car slides over the edge, changing the orientation from horizontal to vertical, so you now have to look up above you and pick your hand placement to scale upward towards the top of the car. Grabbing the door with one hand, it swings open, pulling you outside and as you grip on for dear life you spot a handhold, and then another, before long you are traversing the outside of the vehicle like a spider monkey. At one point you're on a cable car that you are piloting to the top of a mountain, but there is a destroyed section of the track ahead of you, you try to slow down, the car creeps toward the perilous edge, you spot an emergency door release and you pull down on the lever.

The climbing consists of environments such as a dilapidated ruin of an outpost, with no floor so to speak, so you have to climb the walls, navigate the beams and surfaces, and effectively monkey-bar across ravines to reach the next checkpoint. You essentially downhill ski from one destination to another, tilting your head left or right to bob and weave through trees, you climb hand-over-hand across treacherous scenery, and you have shootouts with waves of enemies. Though this title aims for quality over quantity, what it does accomplish is a superb feeling of motion and connectedness to the main protagonist. With no on-screen HUD and very little obscuring your vision, Fracked gives you the purest FPS adventure I have experienced in a long time. As you look around, taking in the whole escapade, you notice an avalanche, this is it, you need to outrun the powder and get yourself to the relative safety of the next outpost and it's utterly exhilarating! You then start the downhill journey, using your headset to tilt left and right, carving your way down the slopes, and watching the alpine background whizz past you in a rather incredible mixture of 1080 Snowboarding and XIII in terms of fluid kinetic movement paired with stylistic graphics.
