despite being over a decade old and being from a particular genre beaten to death (ps3-xbox 360 cover shooter), binary domain stands out among the rest. the story is legitimate sci-fi, asking questions about humanity amidst the bay-esque writing and the nuts and bolts spilling everywhere. there's also an added layer of camaraderie to it because of the voice system the game has, making you yell out commands to your teammates a crucial part of the game's combat. on the topic of combat, it's good! pretty same-y for the most part but it never got too grating for me. music wasn't really a standout but i didn't mind too much. didn't think i'd like this as much as i do.
