Selaco is peak, I can't wait for the finished product also happy new year bud, subscribed during your Ashes vids and glad to see you still popping up on my feed talking about bangers like this and the New Blood games
Selaco is a weird one. It's combat is built around the assumption that you have very quick reflexes and can stay on a target despite those targets being pretty hard to see with all the muzzle flash, screen shake and smoke. Kicks my ass in a way I haven't really experienced before and I play a lot of shooters (granted I made it as hard as possible aside from ignoring the "new game+" mode they're building). The danger of individual enemies, Dawn's unique movement and the... _unique_ weapon balance forces you into a hit-and-run, extreme prejudice style of tactics that took me a while to understand. Kinda had to think about it like XCOM actually, the tactics are similar. People compare it to FEAR because of it's particular brand of corporate arenas and focus on small-scale environmental destruction. The level design is similar in how it's tailor-made to make the AI seem clever (or at least aggressive). The enemies have a similar vibe. And honestly, the gunplay just FEELS very FEAR. I constantly found myself wishing I could lean like you could in FEAR, it felt like a missing piece of the puzzle, but I just hadn't figured out how much the game wants you to lock enemies down yet.
Yeah your character is a totally normal super soldiers veteran war on terror hero with PTSD that was off duty checked into this hospital to help work though your problems and the fact your here and relatively unarmed is part of the reason why the terrorist attacked the place totally normal nobody of great importance stuff sure
My only gripe with the game is the classic mistake of making enemies feel like they're made of marshmallow and nitroglycerin. Enemies exploding into gibs and mist from an SMG burst makes guns feel cheap. Turning the gore setting down to the lowest setting somewhat helps, but enemies would still evaporate from existence when shot with a shotgun and explosive weapons sometimes. It's a shotgun, not a fucking 120mm artillery cannon, damn it.

Naw that’s awesome, gives the weapons a lot of impact
@didyfinkise9033 A normal human being soaking up 19 low-calibre shots just to blow up on the 20th is the opposite of good weapon impact.
