making a shooter where every enemy has a hitscan weapon fun is incredibly difficult, and new order and old blood did it so well you wouldn't even notice it. this game throws out all the nuance those two games (okay more like one and a half, whatever), had in exchange for levels and fights that run the gamut from confusing to repetitive to utterly frustrating. enemies literally feel like they're dumped into levels without any thought.

at least the over the top pulpy story is still good here. also the lasergewehr is the best-sounding weapon ever, i could listen to that BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO all day. neither can save it from being one of the most disappointing sequels ever though. sucks that this series plays second fiddle to doom once again.
