Vanquish
Vanquish is a sci-fi third-person shooter game with a wonderful world and mesmerizing gameplay. This is a title that emphasizes style, skill, explosions, and fast-paced gun-play. Like some shooters, this one will make you feel like you’re participating in a well-made action movie.
Vanquish takes place in the distant future where a Russian extremist group called the Order of the Russian Star has taken control of an orbital space station called Providence. Using its tremendous powerful weaponry, this Russian group fires a deadly attack at San Francisco, leading to the United States to dispatch a full fleet to stop them.
This is where the game’s protagonist Sam Gideon joins the fray in his ARS battle suit. His reasons for joining are to test out his suit and to locate Professor Candide. He is the creator of the system that powers the space station and Sam’s suit. Vanquish’s plot lacks depth and intriguing ideas. It doesn’t add anything of value to the game. Thankfully, the same can’t be said for its gameplay.
Vanquish features a wonderful mix of familiar and other-wordly weaponry. At the start, you’ll come across weapons like shotguns and snipers. Later, you will find futuristic weapons like lasers and low-frequency devices. Sam’s suit also comes with a nifty trick. If you take enough damage, Sam’s suit will malfunction and allow you to slow down time. This allows you to put up a fighting chance when pushed into a tight scenario.
