Whereas Trepang2 has a reputation that makes completely no sense to us, this fast-paced, single-player FPS typically provides us the identical exhilaration you’ll count on from a recreation like DOOM. It doesn’t matter what weapons you’ve gotten outfitted, the tremendous soldier you play as, 106, is all the time the strongest individual within the room. Mixed along with his time-slowing focus skill, you’ll be able to run in all places, dismantling any squad of enemies that steps in entrance of you. You’re feeling like a motion film badass at most occasions. In fact, that doesn’t imply that Trepang2 is simple; we discovered the sport very troublesome if you pump up the problem just a bit bit.
Whereas we by no means bought uninterested in the fast-moving motion that 106 is consistently met with, there are some shortcomings. Our largest criticism with this recreation is how darkish it’s always. Even on a degree the place it is sunny, the second you go indoors, it is rather laborious to see something, even with a flashlight. The sport additionally routinely turns off your flashlight when interacting with something, which is annoying. It is likely to be attempting 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 occasions, however going quiet with the cloak skill isn’t that enjoyable, and out of doors a few low cost jump-scares, it’s not that scary. That stated, the gunplay by no means will get outdated. Working via 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 desires to be a Swiss military knife that does all the pieces. It goals to be a run-and-gun navy recreation that is additionally a stealthy horror title on the identical time. It’s good to attempt to combine in selection, however the one instrument we wish to use is the one which makes us really feel like an unstoppable killing machine.
