Scourge: Outbreak
19.1 Hours played
I think it is best to describe this Cover-Focus Shooter as a Mystery, Sci-Fi, and most importantly, Horror B movie with a plot to match it. The game starts out as a simple 'get in, get out' mission with the goal of freeing an informant from a corrupt science facility while stealing an alien rock that company found. In classic mystery format, the plot progresses with unexplained actions, characters purposefully not being clear for the sake of suspense, and tons of gore not fleshed out well to make it bearable to watch. It has a major plot twist that I won't spoil, followed by pretty much petty revenge for the sake of it when the plot twist is revealed. If you can stomach the lackluster and borderline terribad plot arc, the rest of the game portion is quite good with minor flaws to get used to.
(quick score: 7.5/10 Well done with major story holes but a satisfying 5-6 hours worth of time with friends)

Pros:

- Most important: Online Co-Op works great. I've had no issues playing with people from the other side of the world, so consider it an easy pick to play with Steam friends.

- The dark and mysterious atmosphere they try to give in the game is well presented. I was interested in finding out what was in the building as I went further down to try to complete the objectives.

- Some of the best free aim shooting I've seen in a third person shooter. Often these style of games that encourage cover systems make shooting without aiming down the sights practically impossible to fire. With this, you always have 100% accuracy with blind firing, but aiming will provide a reticle and improve the potential accuracy zone as an incentive to aim. This gives shotgun blasting a great sensation and I often used it even during sections of the game that didn't benefit using it.

- Map progression has some slow points, but difficulty as a whole matches up nicely as each chapter continues to the next.

- The guns have a distinction from each other and an easy to understand desire for when to use them. The Firefly is great for mid range sustained burst fire, the Reaper is for power shots farther away, .etc .etc

Cons

- Wasted potential with the flashback scenes. Quite literally the scenes are there to make you question what is going on and don't really solve anything in the plot. They are slightly summarized during the plot twist, but are written off as a throwaway idea than cool to know.

- The cover system itself has some problems with how the character commits to cover. When using cover, the character will stand or sit pending what the object is. The issue is some cover makes them stand instead of kneel, making it useless and endangering players.

- The cover system also has problems with blind firing in cover. there are specific arc ranges the blind fire works and limits how useful it can be. Luckily blind fire isn't integeral to beating the game, but it is nice to be able to use it from time to time.

- After the plot twist, almost the entire story is inconsistant with what happened during the mission. I won't say how it does to avoid spoilers, but it is easy to say none of the things you'd see in the antagonist's action would realistically occur if the plot twist was legitimate.

- If playing with AI bots, the AI is almost useless. They do take more damage to compensate for how much they endanger themselves for a cover based shooter and do a decent job being field medics to revive downed players. For actually killing foes to prevent a need to revive, they are awful. Highly encourage playing with 1-3 friends.

- The story itself feels rushed. The initial objective, or at this point, the McGuffin, never gets mentioned again throughout the game and becomes all about hunting down Alpha Squad and oh yeah, maybe, eventually, rescueing Reisback as stated at the start of the game.

- Whoever came up with the game portion of the Dropship boss fight, I hate your guts and hope you don't do that again. That fight took 30 minutes of chucking grenades and missing the majority of the time. It is the worst section of the game, by far.

- HP feels inconsistant for both foe and yourself. The game makers give no hard stats to see health or damage and some the game uses locational damage as a factor, making it even harder to figure out how safe one is when they have to take damage. Head shots feel like a make or break against most enemies, especially later on when they can start taking a lot of bullets if hitting everywhere but the head.

Overall

Scourge: Outbreak is a decent game with a muddy story but worth the price of admission if played with a game mate. It doesn't have high replay value and some questionable spikes in difficulty here and there. Still, I would recommend people play it for both fun and inspiration to get the ideas flowing on the genre this game tries to be. It left a positive affect on me.
