Whereas Trepang2 has a reputation that makes completely no sense to us, this fast-paced, single-player FPS usually provides us the identical exhilaration you’d count on from a sport like DOOM. It doesn’t matter what weapons you have got geared up, the tremendous soldier you play as, 106, is all the time the strongest particular person within the room. Mixed along with his time-slowing focus skill, you’ll be able to run all over, dismantling any squad of enemies that steps in entrance of you. You’re feeling like a motion film badass at most instances. In fact, that doesn’t imply that Trepang2 is simple; we discovered the sport very tough once you pump up the problem just a bit bit.
Whereas we by no means received bored with the fast-moving motion that 106 is consistently met with, there are some shortcomings. Our largest grievance with this sport is how darkish it’s always. Even on a degree the place it is sunny, the second you go indoors, it is rather arduous to see something, even with a flashlight. The sport additionally routinely turns off your flashlight when interacting with something, which is annoying. It could be making an attempt its finest to cover the uninteresting environments and add to the strain, however we discovered it extra cumbersome than something.
Trepang2 tries to be stealth and horror-focused at instances, however going quiet with the cloak skill is rarely that enjoyable, and out of doors a few low-cost jump-scares, it’s not that scary. That mentioned, the gunplay by no means will get outdated. Operating by way of rooms of enemies whereas dual-wielding incendiary shotguns is a degree of enjoyable that basically reminds us of shooters from the 2000s.
Trepang2 is a really enjoyable shooter that generally loses its focus and needs to be a Swiss military knife that does every thing. It goals to be a run-and-gun army sport that is additionally a stealthy horror title on the similar time. It’s good to try to combine in selection, however the one instrument we need to use is the one which makes us really feel like an unstoppable killing machine.
