Today’s game is Star Wars Republic Commando. I’ve been in a bit of a slump recently now that i’ve suddenly been given more free time and been at a loss as to what to do. I’m not really feeling up for anything in my On Hold shelf, and i’ve played so much Halo i think my friends might puke if i ask them to play more with me. So i just decided to follow my Steam Play Next Suggestion and play this which was first (After removing all the Free Online games i’m not really interested in getting invested in right now).

I was expecting something similar to Halo (ironic, i know), but to be honest it controls more like what i’d assume metroid prime controls like. I say assume because i’ve never touched Metroid prime before.

I like the squad mechanic. It’s fun to give them orders, though i can’t say i feel as if they’re very fleshed out. Maybe that will change, i’m not sure as i stopped after getting on the elevator. I like how they’re all fairly distinct though and have unique roles.

The game overall is fun, though i’m not sure if it’s scratching the itch i have. I’m sure something will come to me, it always does, but i want to keep trying this. It doesn’t strike me as a particularly long game, or hard. But i am having fun with it.
