Dust & Neon 12+

This is fun and addictive but oh how frustrating it is once you finally get a nice set of weapons and a good amount of cash and you’re ready to take on the next boss and the game shuts off without warning. You lose all of your weapons and it cost you a couple thousand dollars to buy them back if they’re even available, a lot of times they won’t even be available for buyback and you have to start over accumulating weapons again. Very frustrating. seems to happen the most in the fourth area. I still haven’t been in a single level in there without it restarting and I have to start collecting weapons again. I’m just taking a break now leave us a review.

So, I had a bug report for the game. Under certain circumstances, either the player character or an enemy gets stuck someplace unfortunate. In one case, the player character ended up *inside* a wagon. No way to escape. In another, an enemy ended up on the wrong side of a barrier inside a facility you were supposed to “sabotage,” and couldn’t be killed. Since killing all the enemies was necessary, that meant the level couldn’t be completed. In each case you had to abandon the level and all weapons and loot. Frustrating, but I had enough information to characterize what was happening.

So… the “support” link takes you to Netflix support, which has only an article that says “tough luck,” no way to report anything. So I spend 12 minutes “chatting” with “Elsy,” who ends up emailing me the same article because “you can email about the issue.” Of course, the email says “don’t reply because this is an unattended email address.”

So, my advice is don’t bother with the game unless you dig frustration. But if you like that, go for it! It could be a good game, but I don’t see how they’ll ever fix any bugs.

I love this game, every aspect of it, from graphics to gameplay to story to music. It’s all great, in the tradition of Bullet Time, one of my all time faves. The biggest problem is the crashing. It didn’t used to do this when I first started playing, but now it’s every other mission, typically hard-level transmission towers. And, as nearly everyone has complained, it robs you of your best guns and forces a restart that’s far worse than just dying, where you can at least buy back your hard-earned weapons. Awful! Too much good here to be ruined by a coding glitch. Fix it and you’ll have one of the best games available.
