I played this game while recovering from gallbladder surgery at my grandma's house, so I have some fond memories of it. It's fun, weird, has NOTHING to do with Yakuza but it sure feels similar in the cutscenes. Kinda strange in how the plot is executed, but overall, pretty fun Gear's styled shooter. Considering how rarely Gears style games are good, that is a pretty hefty compliment.

i first play this game when i was still a child on a xbox 360, but when the xbox box is not functioning anymore this game is lost. after all these years, found this game back and played it, love the game, but the mouse sensitivity is high. here an advice open the game and open the configuration file together and set the mouse sensitivity to your own liking

Janky mouse movement, abysmal controller maping and configuration. Even the one unique thing to this third person shooter being the microphone system where you can command your squadmates via voice commands does not work in the pc version of the game. Despite all of that, why am I in love? Story - I was honestly expecting some run of the mill humans vs. robots terminator shmuck but that all got flipped upside down with the certain themes that this game brings up. I won't spoil much, but the whole lore about the "hallow children" had me hooked and my eyes glued to the screen wanting more information on their heritage and purpose. The world of Binary Domain was also rich in diverse locations having you ascend up the ruins of Japan to their new dystopian upper reaches, and the game really had a nice feeling of progression the more and more you traversed. A huge A+ for me is the replayablity this game gives you. There is a loyalty system that ties you to your crew's bonds and at first I thought this was all gameplay related (which it is aswell, having the higher loyalty give your team mates more of a reason to follow your commands while having less loyalty gives them a reason to ignore it), but it turns out its also immensely story related. I'm not talking about, picking a crew member for a specific mission and just having different dialogue play out (though I cannot imagine the amount of voice lines recorded for this game, the variety is nuts), I mean depending on how well you participated in battles, and gave optimal enough commands, that could affect the character's fate or actions by the end of the game. I was completely blown away when I found this out, and blown away again on my second playthrough when I found out I could save certain characters from the choices I unknowingly made in my first playthrough. I'm not saying the story is perfect, but it definitely fulfilled what I wanted out of a game about blasting through robots. Its just dumb fun. Gameplay - So yes, as stated at the start the game has some stiff mouse movements, if you want to play on a controller good luck and find a guide for that shit, old pc config (so you have to relaunch the game everytime you want to change settings for EVERYTHING), etc. However, as a third person shooter, its pretty solid. The main appeal to me was definitely the commanding system, where you call the shots for your team mates on how to persue different situations. Like charging down weak wittled defenses, or holding contested ground. Another cool thing about the system is that your crew mates sometimes give feedback on your shot calling like if you stayed back and let them do all of the work they would acknowledge that and call you a fucker, good stuff. I was though heavily disappointed with the mic system does not work since that was my draw in from actually playing this game. Multiplayer - Funnily enough there was a multiplayer mode in this game that features the standard matchmaking of team deathmatch, free for all, etc. Aswell as invasion mode which tests you and your team's mettle against waves of robots in round based gameplay. Unfortunately, the no one is playing the multiplayer. Thought i'd mention it though.... because I wanna play it...... so if anyone gets the game or already has this game..... add me so we can play the multiplayer... please. If you're in the mood to try out something different and have some cash to burn, go ahead and give this game a whirl. Even if you only stick around for one playthrough this experience will leave an impression on you.

TL-DR: This original cover shooter stands out in a sea of generic cover shooters. Binary Domain is a PS3/360 era underrated classic. You face off against all sorts of Robot's with your ally's who will obey or disobey your commands depending on how much they trust you. PROS: + Fast, fluid action + Beautiful cutscene graphics (Same team that do the cutscenes for the Yakuza series so no wonder) + Runs like a dream on a decent old GPU + Fun banter between characters in cutscenes + Headshots are so satisfying. *PING!* + Great action OST (Albiet far too quiet in game) CONS: - A little short - Some frustrating moments including Quick Time Events and stopping Robots from blowing up a fuel tank which took a bit of trial and error - The music is very quiet for some reason - The a.i commands are next to pointless, I found myself very rarely using them - Final Boss is one tough S.O.B on Normal difficulty and above Overall, Binary Domain took me 7 and a half hours to complete on the easiest difficulty. It provided a consistant challenge throughout and I'd give it an 8/10. TIP FOR WORKING 360 GAMEPAD CONTROLS AND ICONS: .Launch the Config File from the games installation folder and choose 360 Pad under controls. .Now, launch the Binary Domain.exe from the games installation folder. NOT through the Steam Client!
