(I appear to be talking to myself in print. Worse things have happened though, maybe it’s just gameplay focused. (SPOILERS END) It’s a shame because as I said the set-up is pretty good. (SPOILERS) there’s a running theme of C.O.U.N.T.E.R seemingly planning to steal the plans and blow up the moon themselves, but it never develops into anything- you steal the plans, you stop the rocket, that’s it. I hope you got your fill from that description of the plot, because there’s pretty much sod-all else on offer. Anyway, you play an agent of C.O.U.N.T.E.R- a neutral, third-party agency that sends you into both Soviet and US bases in an attempt to discover certain parts of the plan. I shit you not- the USA did actually have a plan to blow up the moon in an attempt to show the Soviets that they were nothing to mess around with. Before we go any further, I feel it’s worth pointing out that this was a real plan during the cold war. The former really got me into it: it’s the cold war, and both the USSR and USA have plans to DESTROY THE MOON. The latter is an exaggerated, cel-shaded style in which enemy soldiers are colour-coded and your protagonist is constantly draped in shadow, regardless of the lighting. The first things that stick out about this one are its interesting plot set-up and its graphical style.

This one will cover “CounterSpy” and the re-release of “Surgeon Simulator”, both on PS4. Okay, these have been a long time coming but here we go, four downloadable titles I’m going to be taking a look at over two reviews.
