Trepang2 Assessment (PS5) | Push Sq.

Whereas Trepang2 has a reputation that makes completely no sense to us, this fast-paced, single-player FPS typically offers us the identical exhilaration you’ll anticipate from a recreation like DOOM. It doesn’t matter what weapons you’ve outfitted, the tremendous soldier you play as, 106, is at all times the strongest individual within the room. Mixed together with his time-slowing focus skill, you may run in every single place, dismantling any squad of enemies that steps in entrance of you. You’re feeling like a motion film badass at most occasions. In fact, that doesn’t imply that Trepang2 is straightforward; we discovered the sport very tough if you pump up the problem just a bit bit.

Whereas we by no means received bored with the fast-moving motion that 106 is continually met with, there are some shortcomings. Our largest grievance with this recreation is how darkish it’s always. Even on a stage the place it is sunny, the second you go indoors, it is rather laborious to see something, even with a flashlight. The sport additionally routinely turns off your flashlight when interacting with something, which is annoying. It is likely to be attempting its greatest to cover the boring environments and add to the stress, however we discovered it extra cumbersome than something.

Trepang2 tries to be stealth and horror-focused at occasions, however going quiet with the cloak skill 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 by rooms of enemies whereas dual-wielding incendiary shotguns is a stage of enjoyable that actually reminds us of shooters from the 2000s.

Trepang2 is a really enjoyable shooter that typically loses its focus and desires to be a Swiss military knife that does every little thing. It goals to be a run-and-gun army recreation that is additionally a stealthy horror title on the similar time. It’s good to attempt to combine in selection, however the one instrument we need to use is the one which makes us really feel like an unstoppable killing machine.
