in the past


I like the ideas Jericho presents as a first person shooter decorated with squad based elements. Considering this game came out in 2007 to a harsh critic reception, I feel as though it was unfairly judged at the time. The epic and almost cinematic combat sequences with you and your Jericho Squad feels unreal, even to this day. I feel that this was all deeply overshadowed by the nonsensical narrative and cynical character designs that made vomit run up to my mouth each time a character would open their mouths. There's nothing appealing about the world, the characters or the narrative. The narrative is ridiculous mumbo jumbo, something only a madman could come up with during a fever dream, yet even with such unique conditions for a nonsensical narrative, it somehow feels extremely generic at its story twists and conclusions. There's lot to appreciate in Jericho almost two decades later, but characters and the narrative aren't it. Give it a go if you want a first person shooter with an epic feel to each battle and a depressing setting to stroke your already melancholic nature.
