A cool game based on a cool movie with a cool character voiced by cool actors.
It is clear that they worked hard on the plot, production, and characters. The story feels solid and believable, and the characters feel alive. Dialogues are also well done and don't sound artificial. Riddick does not speak often, but aptly. The story radically changes its momentum several times, the further the main character progresses through the plot. The gameplay also changes. First, you hide in the shadows and quietly and invisibly kill enemies one by one, and suddenly you have to run, fighting off a huge pack of alien monsters, and then you are already sitting inside a hefty battle mech and mow down enemy armies.
Stealth in the game is one of the best. The system of hiding in the dark and hunting with night vision looks great. The melee combat system is also interesting, although a bit unusual at times. True, the game is not easy and in close combat, you can be finished off pretty quickly. There are enough types of weapons for various ways of killing.
The soundtrack is commendable.
Graphically, the game looks good even now. Light and shadow effects are well done.
There are many locations here. They are well-detailed and allow you to go through them in several different ways.
No wonder this game is considered the best game based on the movie.
