Mindjack

[.coldfuzion]

Hello Vanquish players. I hope you're enjoying the game so far. Now, here's another third person shooter from back then that I think deserves an another chance as well. It's name is Mindjack and I believe it was released in the year 2011 like Vanquish as well. While at first glance it might be not that special, what does make it somewhat unique is your ability to 'possess' enemies at the point of near death to make them temporarily fight on your side. It also got an interesting multiplayer component where other players can invade your game Souls-style and can either hinder or help your progress depending on the color of the phantom. Anyways, do check out this game if you can and tell me what do you think.

Isn't that the game that got absolutely slammed by critics and players alike?

Why are you telling us?

People like Vanquish because of it's mechanics and fast pace. Mind Jack plays like a normal TPS with gimmicks.

If you want to recommend a game you should recommend one with good movement mechanics or mecha.

Oh man, I remember Mindjack! I actually quite enjoyed it despite the slamming it got. Wouldn't mind seeing it ported to PC.

To be honest, while the gameplay was quite generic shooty bang bang big American hero type fare I found the mindjacking aspect pretty neat and I liked the general aesthetic of the world.

It was a dumb, brainless shooter you could blast through on a rainy weekend, which was exactly what I did. I remember thinking it like was a less intricate Ghost in the Shell.

Multiplayer looked neat but I wasn't really interested in that part of the game.
