Congo

This game changed very little from early access to full release. Don't buy it. Once you realize every strike and kill is the same and so is every enemy (Two enemies.

Pros: Innovative idea Focuses on use of resources to get through the campaign. Cons: Top-down view eliminates atmosphere Targetting is too finicky to work Vectors cause inescapable holes Ammo is different for different guns, including two different ammos for shotguns but no distinguishing features between ammo leaving a player to question wHY they have 30 shotgun ammo but their shotgun won't load Only three seetings...
