Blue Estate is a rail shooter that misses the thing that makes them most enjoyable, a well made lightgun which we really haven't had since the PS2 and Xbox and likely not something the vast majority of PC players will have. You will aim your mouse cursor over 100s of enemies in each of the game's seven levels trying to shoot them before a targeting reticle films up to tell you that they are about to hit you, enemies die in one shot to the head, with a nut shot, or with a few body hits. Story wise the characters and jokes would be like playing House of the Dead Overkill if it was more offensive, none of the jokes landed, and it wasn't a homage to a film style. There are only seven levels and the game is short but the levels each overstay their welcome and their are three badly designed and long boss fights, luckily the game is so easy that it is unlikely that you will die and have to replay a level (I don't actually know where it restarts you if you die as I never ran out of health). The game will require you to push an arrow key or swipe the mouse in a direction to beat QTE events, knock back thrown weapons, or to deal with frequent annoyances like your hair falling in your eyes or throwing off a dog that is humping your leg. There are a few moments where you can hold the reload button to take cover but there is never any real reason to do this, a scoring system that really doesn't matter, and in each mission you will find a second more powerful weapon that I ended up never liking more than the default pistol as I only went for headshots and they had a much longer reload time, some of them just didn't have enough ammo or shot too slowly to even be viable in some situations.
