I think overall it's a pretty competent shooter. The level design is super boring and the guns all feel extremely unsatisfying. The story is also a mess with a trillion left out details. It feels improved on the spot while also extremely tropey. But I think it's still fun and has plenty of neat ideas with the glaive and the viral infection preventing you from holding enemy weapons for very long. It's also interesting to see what served as some of the bones for Warframe. A game born out it the ashes of a different project who eventually rose from those ashes as massive burning phoenix that is still unstoppable today.

I find the post resident evil 4 era of horror games to be really interesting because it's a distinct turn for action oriented. Basically marrying shooters to more horror oriented elements while also missing why re4 was still effective at it. Dark sector at least has some really good atmosphere and monster design. I always like the concept of government agent gets mixed up in a bunch of horror stuff.
