With new improved gameplay and all the contracts you need there is a lot of excitement waiting for you.With a new engine driving it this installment of the game has a lot more options for you to play with. Here you can hide bodies and unconcious people in a much easier fashion, and thus reduce your level of suspicion. You can of course just shoot your way to the target but the stealth approach has greater rewards. There are more combat options, improved moves and weapons as well as a lot of new methods to dispatch your target. The story is one that leads to interesting places and it is worth seeing to the end and getting even more of the picture surrounding the mysterious 47.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
