3.5/5 ★ – johnschwartz's review of Spec Ops: The Line.

PC Steam This has been in my backlog forever and I finally decided to take the plunge after it was delisted from all the stores. It’s such a bummer that it was delisted but I mean unless you have great lawyers or whatever who sign ironclad copyright usage, using licensed music in your game is the kiss of death. Kinda weird how movies can get away with it but games can’t… Anyways, Spec Ops was pretty good! The story and themes explored here are definitely subversive to what you’d expect from the genre buuut I think they could have gone further in a lot of respects (most notably in the gameplay). For trying to tell a story unlike all of its shooter counterparts, at the end of the day its gameplay is still just corridor shootin’.
