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’ll anticipate from a sport like DOOM. It doesn’t matter what weapons you’ve got geared up, the tremendous soldier you play as, 106, is all the time the strongest individual within the room. Mixed along with his time-slowing focus capacity, you may run in every single place, dismantling any squad of enemies that steps in entrance of you. You are feeling like a motion film badass at most instances. After all, that doesn’t imply that Trepang2 is straightforward; we discovered the sport very troublesome whenever you pump up the problem just a bit bit.
Whereas we by no means acquired bored with the fast-moving motion that 106 is continually met with, there are some shortcomings. Our largest criticism 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 extremely exhausting to see something, even with a flashlight. The sport additionally mechanically turns off your flashlight when interacting with something, which is annoying. It may be attempting its greatest to cover the boring 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 capacity isn’t that enjoyable, and outdoors a few low-cost jump-scares, it’s not that scary. That stated, the gunplay by no means will get previous. Operating via rooms of enemies whereas dual-wielding incendiary shotguns is a degree of enjoyable that actually 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 every little thing. It goals to be a run-and-gun navy 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 wish to use is the one which makes us really feel like an unstoppable killing machine.
