This game did flop but I think it had potential. They should've gave more incentive to tackle side objectives, as I remember those being pretty irrelevant to the main objective. Pretty sure one body type dominated over the others, which also helped stagnate things. Parkour ended up not being that big of a deal, despite the game pushing it so hard in its advertising. Game's premise and lore was cool, and I liked the island accent of the Ark Security commander. Anything was better than yet another military shooter aesthetic, especially in the timeframe that this game was out.
this game is probably the fastest dying multiplayer shooter that has ever released. it just doesn't have enough standout mechanics in it to be worth playing and what content it did have was overshadowed by the fact you'd be playing it again and again with little to no actual variation of how the matches played out. just not fun, and also, it's just dead now
Brink had so much potential - Brink had style, Brink had slick movement, Brink had a gorgeous art direction and ambient score, Brink had interesting characters and cool weapons, Brink had everything...so what happened?
Brink is tragic tale of a game that was supposed to be everything we wanted and more, yet completely failed as the sum of its parts. From the dreadful launch, the lack of content, the absence of a story, and the limited scope of delivery for each of the promises culminated in one of the biggest disappointments in gaming I have ever had to swallow. I didn't just lose $60 that day...a little piece of me died inside.

I was 13 when this game came out and it looked like the coolest thing ever. I was really excited for the customization and I hadn't ever seen an FPS with this cool post-apocalypse anarchist aesthetic and I thought it looked really good.
That artstyle has now become extremely commonplace in video games today, and that wasn't the only thing this game pioneered that ALL triple-A studios have now continued to follow: because Brink was also shipped in a state that was completely devoid of content.

This is one of the worst games I've ever played. I got this from a friend and he refuses to take it back. I've been trying to give this game away for 8 years and no one wants it. Awful gunplay, no idea what's going on, boring ass story. Never got past the second level, so I didn't technically beat it but it deserves a 0 star rating
