I was happy to see the Hawken name again, but this really blows. It's a mind-numbingly boring single player FPS. You simply move through a linear corridor following a friendly NPC, and shoot the same enemies over and over, with no strategies or skills required. And if you dare try to go in another direction, you'll just get a game over. It feels like a bad game from the PS360 era. It even looks like a game from that era, with flat and ugly brown colors everywhere.
The story is uninteresting and it's told with ugly comics drawn with AI. The only good thing I can say is that I didn't encounter too much bugs I guess.
This is clearly not an attempt by passionate developers to revitalize a beloved niche IP, but just a soulless attempt to use an old IP to sell microtransactions.
