Odds are you’ll obtain this power and others much sooner than later. Thanks to a very generous cooldown, I constantly plucked foes from the other side of the map, with little consequence at times. This is great for dealing with distant threats and becomes practically broken (in a good way) once fully upgraded. Shelia’s Exo Arm offers another fun tool, letting you manipulate gravity to pull enemies toward you, then blow them apart with an EMP blast. I’m not sure why a sniper rifle would also fire a sticky grenade, but I loved using it to blow apart multiple targets. The four firearms – an assault rifle, shotgun, handgun, and sniper rifle – feel good in their own right, and each has a fun alternate firing mode, some of which are delightfully silly. Even better is an upgrade that fires energy beams with each swing, essentially turning the sword into another long-range weapon. So does a parry that deflects bullets and stuns foes, allowing you to launch and air-juggle them Devil May Cry-style. Slicing apart foes with Shelia’s sword feels incredibly satisfying. Playing Bright Memory: Infinite is thrilling thanks to its silky smooth, fast-paced combination of sword and gunplay. I care less about the story wrapping up quickly and more disappointed that I couldn’t play more of the game itself. This whiplash is jarring, and I’m still shaking my head in disbelief. Just when it seems like the second half is kicking off, the story pulls the plug with hardly any resolution. Even after telling my brain that its services weren’t required for this story, I was still floored by its horribly abrupt ending. The plot barely tries to make sense of its events, only telling you enemies are bad and must be shot and/or stabbed in the face. When you’re not tangling with high-tech soldiers, you’re battling centuries-old warriors and otherworldly demons for reasons that are not adequately explained. Your goal is to stop these guys and figure out what the heck is happening. This void is somehow connected to an ancient mystery in which an ostensibly evil organization – led by the blandest villain in years – has a vested interest. A black hole appears in the sky, consuming anything within range and causing catastrophic weather. You’re Shelia Tan, an emotionally wooden but capable soldier specializing in supernatural phenomena. Unfortunately, Bright Memory: Infinite burns out before it fades away, peaking early and showing great promise before concluding sooner than expected.īright Memory doesn’t have a story as much as it has a series of events that just happen. Infinite even has a run time that is comparable to some films. It boasts incredible – and wonderfully improbable – action sequences propelled by a story that barely qualifies as narrative. Bright Memory: Infinite feels like an interactive cheesy sci-fi action movie, for better or worse.
