Soaking Fun | Wet Review

<p>Back in 2009 we saw the B-Horror movie revitalized&period; With Grindhouse releasing that year&comma; which was homage of classic horror movies such as Evil Dead&comma; and other game of that same year also took a hint from this old genre reborn&period; A2M thought it’d be a good idea to make a video game inspired by a style where blood and cheesy lines reign supreme&comma; but is it enough to keep <em>Wet<&sol;em> a solid experience&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Despite some poor choices of skills for the player to gain during the game&comma; and the enormous difficulty spike in the middle of the game&comma; <em>Wet<&sol;em> is soaking fun&period; Here is where it’s frustrating&comma; the game takes awhile to unlock certain key moves in the game&comma; so the player ends up being halfway through the entire campaign before they can jump&period; This is what is meant by poor choices in moves to award the players with early in the game&period; You can do neat combos&comma; and awesome and gruesome finishers where you can cause an enemy’s head to decapitate but can’t jump till almost the last part of the game&period; Now about the difficulty spike mentioned previously&comma; is when the player needs to kill enemies while car hopping&period; It may seem easy&comma; but you don’t die at all or you start over from the beginning&period; So try having the &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;FPS complex”&comma; where every enemy is shooting from every direction in places you can’t really see&comma; while trying to jump and kill enemies on top the next car you need to jump onto&period; Not only is it almost impossible&comma; but it gets frustrating to the point where the player might actually quit playing for about 2 weeks before coming back to that part&period; Besides that the gameplay for this game as stated previously reminiscent of a time were you literally took time to build up points due to your skills&period; Unlike most of what’s out there for video games&comma; the way you play will be the crown jewel to how much points you earn&period; Just like walking to an arcade to beat the high score back when you were little&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;7474" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-7474" style&equals;"width&colon;

The style of this game is like going back into a toy store after a few years&comma; it feels weird at first but once you roam around it’ll feel all too familiar in a good way&period; A very gritty and rebellious like feel to it&comma; kind of like the movie Friday the 13<sup>th<&sol;sup>&period; One can tell the A2M took more time in making the game look beautiful then making it playing&comma; taking the style-over-substance motif to the extreme&period;
