#Bright memory infinite series x series
If you’re an FPS fan itching for something to play on your Xbox Series X/S, then this could satisfy you for an afternoon. Unfortunately, beyond being nothing more than an appetizer, it’s hard to recommend this release. Bright Memory shows us that Bright Memory: Infinite could potentially be an amazing game, with some great visuals and solid gameplay. On Xbox Series X/S, this is not the case, you will need to purchase Bright Memory: Infinite separately.

If you were to purchase Bright Memory on Steam (PC), you would get the full version of Bright Memory: Infinite for free when it eventually releases. Another issue worth noting is that you’re essentially paying for a demo/prologue. The game hits a lot of high notes visually, but some design choices, like the bizarre water drop issue and the screen tearing issues, detract from the overall presentation. You can dress Shelia up in four different costumes, including the ever-popular school girl outfit, but you really only see them during cutscenes. There isn’t a lot of reason to replay the short campaign either, save for earning Achievements – they even included an Achievement for finishing the game three times. I played through it twice, each time the total game time was between 30-40 minutes in length. It’s almost as if the dev created this neat water drop overlay and applied it to the entire game. There really isn’t any logical reason for there to be water drops on screen.īright Memory is a very, very short game. What’s worse, they even appear when indoors. And we as humans don’t accumulate water drops on our eyes like car windshields would. But, here’s the problem, Shelia doesn’t wear glasses. I understand the purpose is meant to convey a feeling a being wet.
However, the worst thing about the game’s visuals appears to be a game design decision involving the overabundance of water drop effects that appear on screen. Unfortunately, there are screen tearing issues that pop up quite frequently and really hinder the overall presentation. The level designs and dungeon interiors look good, but after a while feel a tad repetitive. The same can be said about the gun models. The protagonist, Shelia, is a very detailed character model, everything about her has been given a lot of attention. The various in-game abilities have some cool glowing particle effects. The boss battles aren’t easy and the second one feels a bit “cheap” during the second phase, but after a few tries, I had a workable strategy.
During the course of the demo, you’ll encounter two boss battles, both of which will test your ability to dodge attacks while countering with the variety of abilities discussed earlier. As you move from area to area, your progress will be stopped by enemies magically appearing out of thin air. The area contained within the demo starts briefly in some facility, then transitions to an outdoor area, which looks really cool, and then the remainder of the game we’re stuck in a sort of cave-like dungeon. Some more intuitive choices with the controller would be much appreciated.īright Memory is a linear game with minimal opportunities to explore. Unfortunately, there are so many abilities that once you’ve unlocked them all, you’ll need to select a couple of them in very awkward ways, like triple tapping left on the d-pad. Killing enemies will earn you XP, which you can use to purchase new abilities offensive, defensive and passive. Then you have a number of energy based abilities such as the EMP that will cause enemies in your proximity to pause and hover for a moment. You have a grappling hook that you can use on specific grapple points to swing across chasms or to grapple enemies drawing you closer to them. For most of the game, I would use my sword, then as it charged, I just used my shotgun. Your sword, like other abilities, have a limited use, then must recharge. You also have a sword that shoots a light beam at your enemies – kind of like Link’s sword when he has full health in some of the older Legend of Zelda games. Nothing fancy, and really only serve to chip away some damage at the enemies while your abilities recharge. You’ll be armed with three different guns a pistol, a shotgun and an assault rifle.
Bright Memory is a first-person shooter, that really tries to set itself apart from standard FPS fare.
