    A return to gaming's roots. The best launch title for PS4 bar none.

    Another expertly produced retro-inspired shooter from Housemarque, Resogun gives players an immensely impressive level of depth, challenge, replayability, and graphical prowess that stands as one of the best ways to be introduced to the recently launched PlayStation 4.

    Housemarque did it again. Resogun is a brilliant shooter with lots under its hood: great visuals, stunning gameplay and rich personality. If only it had more levels.

    Much like Geometry Wars was for the Xbox 360, it’s an extremely fun and addictive arcade shoot-em-up that is actually more worth your time than any of the hotly anticipated full-priced launch titles.

    It’s gorgeous; Resogun draws on its host hardware’s graphical capabilities to make you feel like the most powerful entity in the room.

    Resogun does everything it promises, and not a a bit more. It has gorgeous graphics and solid skill-based gameplay, with valuable online co-op support and just enough content to keep things interesting for a while.

    When I first saw this game I instantly thought of the obvious comparison: Galaga. I loved playing Galaga but it couldn't hold my attentionWhen I first saw this game I instantly thought of the obvious comparison: Galaga. I loved playing Galaga but it couldn't hold my attention past maybe the first 2 levels. This game however, held my attention for much, much longer. scales very well with each level and each difficulty setting. Saving the humans is a cool addition to mindlessly flying around and shooting enemy ships. Nice graphics and sounds as well.… Expand

    I just see no point in choosing this out of the two. The 3D thing felt a bit unpleasant.

    I love shooters but this just felt awkward.

    Doesn't mean it's a bad game, I guess a lot of it is personal taste.

    1/10 was its value to me. There are many games I would score zero and not understand why people would like them at all. That isn't the case here. If someone gave this a 10/10 then that would be understandable too. I just have too many games in this style that I prefer, to want to play this.    … Expand
