  Hard Reset Redux is a video game. It is EXTREMELY a video game. It keeps score. There's a wave-based survival mode. You shoot robots. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more "video game" video game. It's great. The future is here and everything needs to be destroyed. You start off in a city. The city is grungy and full of things to destroy. You move out of the city into the countryside. The countryside is grungy and full of things to destroy. Nothing good ever happens to any of these places. Destroy them. The future is here and everything needs to be destroyed. The game has a plot. It doesn't matter. You don't have to care. The plot ends on a cliffhanger. The developers have moved on. Listen: You're a man with a transforming gun. The gun can shoot bullets or energy. You can upgrade the gun to shoot rockets or lightning or bombs or lasers. You can shoot robots with the gun, but critically: You can shoot EVERYTHING with the gun. The future is here and everything needs to be destroyed. If you shoot a car with the gun, the car will explode. If you shoot a barrel with the gun, the barrel will explode. If you shoot a wall fan with the gun, the wall fan will explode. If these things explode next to enemies, the enemies will explode. Then more barrels will explode and a wall will explode and secrets will fall out of it. The secrets will play a guitar riff like the opening of the KLF track "3 AM Eternal". That's rad. If you see something and you think it will explode, you should shoot it. The future is here and everything needs to be destroyed. You also have a sword. It's an energy sword. It goes whom vrrm and makes things explode. I'm not going to tell you that running directly at a horde of robots waving a glowing piece of metal is always a good tactical move. I am going to tell you it's an awesome tactical move and I salute you for it. How you choose to destroy things is up to you. The future is here and everything needs to be destroyed. Hard Reset Redux is an excellent video game.

  It's decent. Story is mediocre, most of the time I had no clue what was going on, but it's also rather short and it can be nice if you want to spend a few hours mindlessly shooting waves of robots in a cyberpunk-ish post-apocalyptic universe. It won't let you stop and it won't give you a break, it's action after action, after action plus enemies are bullet sponges much to everyone's annoyance so I advice to be extra careful and get some practice in advance before going into hard/insane difficulties.

  Hard Reset is a very good FPS, which while claiming to be "retro style" is closer the likes of Painkiller or Serious Sam than to Doom. Just so we're clear, I really liked the original Hard Reset as well as the Shadow Warrior reboot, and got 100% achievements in both. However, this Redux version a little disappointing. They decided to ride on Shadow Warrior's success and to take elements from it to add them into Hard Reset : the player is now able to dash in all 4 directions and can use a katana (acquired around 2 hours into the game). Just so we're clear on the new content, we're talking moves that are directly taken from Shadow Warrior, with the same animations. There are also new "human" enemies, but we're talking about reskinned version of previously existing enemies, the "human looking" robots, which were dreskinned with some human skins we could already see in the game... It does feel very cheap. They also changed a few combat situations by swapping some enemies here or adding some there. Some of that includes enemies from the old DLC added to the original levels. This is the good part of this version, if you enjoyed the original, it is worth replaying it just for those new combat situations... However, only about 1 or 2 fights per level got changed! This is very light! Now the issues this version brings up.... Originally you could not dash, and you could only sprint forward. Now, not only you can dash in all four directions for as long as you want to, but that dash is a lot faster than the sprinting (sprint move which has therefore become completely useless). The good thing with the dash is that it makes the game faster paced.... The bad thing is that the enemies AI were not updated in consequence of the new moves. The enemies are still designed with in mind, a player who can only sprint forward and not at a great speed... The result is that this new dash move allows you to outmaneuver every enemy very easily. MANY of the game's enemies have attacks which are based on rushing towards the player, but now, you can easily dash in any direction to get away. In the original game, the fun and skill of the game came from predicting the enemies attack and reacting quick enough, but now you can simply f**k around not caring so much, and get away from most situation with a couple of simples dashes. As for the katana, it can become useful against rusher enemies and in close-up situations. However, the original game's balance is based around managing two different ammo types, using one not to run out of the other and vice versa. A huge part of this balance and ammo management is screwed because the katana doesn't use any ammo at all, and lets you get away with bad weapon management... In other words the balance of the game has been completely screwed, and it requires a lot less skill to be good at the game. If you have never played Hard Reset, play the original game first. Then play Redux if you like the game enough. Recommended for fans of the game only.

  You know what's funny? As soon as i started playing the game, maxing out every setting available, i was amazed by two things, the first one being the fact that the game ran pretty darn well, and the second one being the fact that the game looked a little bit poorly, even from memory of having played the original Hard Reset a couple of weeks ago, i could tell there was something wrong about the textures, they look... just... Muddy. My fears were disregarded by a wave of hand coming from my head until i actually saw a comparison video on youtube about the game missing crucial things to enhance it's graphical fidelity, things like ambient occlusion, things like reflections, and lighting, or in my case, even the textures, i don't know what was the reason behind this "downgrade" but it's a sad thing that you keep announcing this game as a "remastered edition" from the original when in reality all that it does is add one new weapon, which i haven't even found yet, as well as a couple of small gameplay changes, like the dashing from Shadow Warrior for example. What's the point of remastering a game, to downgrade it's graphics in the first place? I'm not even asking for better graphics, but what you're basically charging me for it's to play the game with only one new weapon, one new dashing move, a couple of balancing changes, and that's it, i hope to see some kind of patch, or something that at the very least brings up the graphics up to par with the original release. The original, as well as this one, are great games, but when you're remastering something, the whole idea behind it it's to make the product in question better, not worse in any way, i don't understand... Maybe it was an accident... Who knows?

  Hard Reset Redux is the graphical and gameplay upgrade to Hard Reset for the PC and consoles. The 2011 game was notorious for being really difficult because of the limited movement and hard hitting enemies that are bullet sponges on the higher difficulties. I loved the old game because of its' fast paced action as well as its unforgiving gameplay, despite its' faults. I played the Redux on Insane and have just started the Exile levels at this time of writing. Overall it is a decent update gameplay wise, but there seems to be a number of things that I feel are pointless or don't really integrate well. I'll start with the changes I noticed that were good: [list] [*] The enemies are no longer bullet sponges (except for the grenadier) which definitely makes the game less tedious [*] The dash and sprinting mechanic from the Shadow Warrior reboot makes it much easier to dodge dangerous melee attacks. You also seem to have infinite sprint. [*] The damage of the little saw bots has been toned down so you don't die in one hit, which could happen very easily in the original [*] Some of the enemy spawns have been changed which I think adds to the variety compared to the original [*] The new human enemies I found were a pretty cool addition [*] There is now music in Survival Mode [*] Game runs flawlessly on an FX-8350 and R9-270X on Ultra [/list] The Redux is also moderately easier than before; the game seems to tolerate alot more mistakes and I have only died twice so far. These are things I think are negative or pointless changes: [list] [*] The "Cyber Katana", although a cool enough weapon, I found was pointless because melee in a game like this is somewhat dangerous plus trying to switch between all 3 weapons is somewhat annoying [*] The updated graphics are barely noticable, even on ultra [*] The weapons are alot more clunkier to use; it takes a little longer to switch between the various modes and sometimes they are not responsive (like the smartgun lock-on) [*] Some of the weapon animations are missing or are just less fluid. Compare the new grenade launcher with the original and you'll see what I mean. [*] Some of the grunts from Shadow Warrior's Lo Wang have been added (such as when dashing or using the katana) which is really misplaced [*] Very minor nitpick, but the gui's used to unlock doors and whatnot, is no longer interative like in Doom 3, which the original game used [*] Another minor nitpick, but in survivial mode, there is no longer any damage or enemy health modifiers. [/list] I have also encoutered a bug where the game would alt-tab and say it crashed, but it actually didn't and was able to continue like normal. This didn't happen in the old game but it did in Shadow Warrior. There have been mentions of becoming frozen at the upgrade machines but I haven't experienced that. All in all, I'm sorry to say but this Redux hasn't really done anything groundbreaking. There have been some good changes but I feel they do not warrant a whole new remake of the original. If you liked or hated the original and loved Shadow Warrior then try it out and form your own opinion on it. If you haven't played the original, you'll probably find this alright, but I recommend you grab the original first. However, if you are a Hard Reset purist or just hate the idea of remakes like this, then don't pick it up (except if you can get the discount) As for me, I think I'll stick with the original.

  [b][u]See written review below[/u][/b] or watch it here: https://youtu.be/LxxRZMexX3Q [h1]TL;DR: SKIP TO CONCLUSION![/h1] Hard Reset Redux is an improved version of the fast-paced old-style FPS game Hard Reset. The game is set in a dark cyberpunk world where you play as Major Fletcher to fight against the machines to protect the last of humanity. The story was told through comic strip style images, and voice dialog. The graphics in the Redux version are improved from the original, but it wasn’t such a significant upgrade that I was blown away by them. Much like the original, the music and sound effects were done well, and the voice acting wasn’t amazing, but it was decent. The story is the same as in the original; it was decently written, but as my second time playing the game, I was more focused on just killing stuff. [h1]Pros:[/h1] [list][*]the new quick dash ability is THE best addition that was made to the game [*]cyber-katana is also a very good addition against certain types of enemies [*]fun, fast-paced combat, with a run and gun style using little to no cover while lots of enemies rush at you (plus lots of explosions!) [*]killing enemies and finding secrets earns currency that lets you buy weapon and character upgrades to better fit your playstyle[/list] [h1]Cons:[/h1] [list][*]brief delay every time the game auto-saved [*]small delay when changing weapon modes (but it was easy to dash away to buy time) [*]some minor bugs where some objects behaved strangely when you would walk into things causing the objects to go flying [*]weird bug where I dashed down a flight of stairs, and I died for absolutely no reason - I had no idea what happened, but it only happened once ever[/list] I played the game on normal mode since I remembered the original being very difficult in some parts, but the Redux version was a lot easier than the original was. The new quick dash move makes life so much easier to dodge enemies, and just create a little breathing room. For me, the next best thing was the new cyber-katana that was added. At first I thought it was terrible weapon, since I thought being in melee range would just get me killed, but against certain types of enemies, this sword is fantastic! I used it a lot more than I thought I would, and it was really fun to use. There were two other weapon types, but each type you can upgrade into completely different gun modes. Most of the weapon types were very useful in different circumstances, but there were a few that I felt were mediocre at best, so I didn’t really use them. [h1]Conclusion:[/h1] If you’re expecting DOOM, Hard Reset Redux is not up to par, but it’s still a similar style of combat, and fun to play. The game took me about 5 hours to complete, and this was the second time I played through the campaign. The dash ability and katana was great additions to the game, and I enjoyed the Redux playthrough much more than the original. It was almost four years ago that I played the original Hard Reset, and I had gotten it for dirt cheap in a bundle. I liked the original back then, and wanted to play it again, so I had no problem spending three bucks on the Redux version; it was worth it to me.

  Hard Reset: Redux is an improved edition of Hard Reset that was released in 2012. A cyberpunk first person shooter. Flying Wild Hog studio is well known for another other game, Shadow Warrior. The original game was not released on the consoles, so it is nice to see them get some love in this improved release of the title. The game play does not differ from the original. You play through a grim world set in the future where the landscape is completely overrun by robots. These robots are the reason for the human race becoming near extinct. Your job, playing as Major Fletcher, is to face these dangerous enemies and fight for your races’ future. Combat is very fast paced and hectic, leaving the player often facing hordes of enemies at once and some pretty powerful bosses too. You have access to multiple different types of weapons, a multi-function rifle, which can be improved to include attachments such as RPGs, grenade launchers, shotguns or mines, or a futuristic canon which has similar attachments, and this version of the game also comes with a new weapon, a cyber-katana sword. I can only assume this comes from the Shadow Warrior game as it plays very similar to how the melee combat works in that game. The other new feature to the game play, is the ability to perform quick dodges, this allows the player to easily manoeuvre out of the way of the enemies attacks and melee swings with a little finesse, rather than bunny hopping around the map. This quick dodge can also be used to zip across the map at speed. The boss fights are challenging, as they incorporate waves of enemies as well different mechanics in order to defeat them. The level design is pretty well set out too; there was only a handful of times where I was completely lost and couldn’t work out where to go, each mission’s path is fairly linear, but it does allow for moments of exploration into side rooms and secret areas for extra loot and experience. Graphically, Hard Reset Redux has been improved significantly, utilizing the latest version of the Road Hog engine. The upgrade features better lighting and special effects, on top of a generally snappier game in terms of performance too. The voice acting is few and far between, but sound effects were all on point. If you played the original game, you may notice that some of the levels were shortened, or as the developers put it, “re-balanced” to allow for a better pace of game play. That being said, I managed to get just over seven hours of game play out of a single play through this game. The option for a New Game+ mode is also present upon finishing which is something I will definitely be giving ago. The lack of a multiplayer mode may prove to be a slight error on the dev’s part, as the longevity of the game will not last more than two play throughs at the very least. I really enjoyed my time playing through the improved version of Hard Reset – it had been a few years since I played the original so it was nice to revisit this game – it is definitely improved in both gameplay and the technical side of the game. Owners of the original game on Steam will be happy to hear they will get a heavy discount on Redux (85% off) which is well worth it! Personally I am not sure it is worth the full price of $19.99 – if you don’t have the original, you may want to wait for the sale season. [b][u] Tom's Score Card[/u][/b] 1) Stay away 2) Not Recommended 3) Only recommended when on sale [b][u]4) Recommended[/u][/b] 5) Highly recommended 6) This is a must play If you found this review helpful, please give it a thumbs up.

  Let me start by saying that I love the original Hard Reset. I noticed how great games Flying Wild Hog can make and I was glad to play Shadow Warrior later on. Now, I'm looking forward to enjoying its sequel once released. Back to Hard Reset: it is a fast-paced, old-school-style FPS game with tons of enemies and lots of combat. All set in a Blade Runner-esque environment in which the emphasis is on getting the city rid of a lot of robots. More details can be found in my other review - since the vanilla game is still available for purchase I'll continue and focus on the Redux Edition's characteristics in this review. A propos Redux: it seems recent years have been characterised by the release of special editions of our favourite games. We got a Director's Cut edition to Deux Ex (caused quite a scandal with its vivid colours), a Definitive Edition to Sleeping Dogs (with enhanced graphics and a lot more pedestrians on Hong Kong's light-polluted streets) and just before Hard Reset's Redux version a Definitive Edition to both Dead Island games that proudly use the most recent iteration of Techland's Chrome engine. All was set for a very good edition of this game that has already turned 5 years old. But Flying Wild Hog could only disappoint me. [b]The Good:[/b] +++ No more stamina: Finally! They realised that since it's all about running and gunning making our hero stop after a couple of seconds does not make much room for tactics. We now have the ability to run without stopping to catch our breath. +++ Better loading times and slightly reworked / tweaked gameplay: The former speaks for itself while the latter means that some areas have a different amount of enemies or the same amount of foes are placed differently. I noticed the game became easier on normal difficulty. I have to admit this is a good sign since the original was a tad bit difficult - I do like a good challenge but sometimes I had no idea what happened causing the bloody, red screen. [b]The Bad:[/b] --- Graphics: Enhanced or not, I did not notice anything. Options are a bit different but overall they have the same results. It's been 5 years since Hard Reset's original release and as Shadow Warrior 2 is on its way we know for sure their engine can do far better things by now. There are some videos out there comparing this with the original release showing missing lighting and shadows - I did not notice such a thing but did not see anything I could label as "enhanced". Sorry, this is bad marketing. Also, performance was already very good - the original's specs were already average. Thus, "better performance" was not noticeable, either. [b]and The Meh:[/b] --- New enemies: These Cyber Zombies do not make much sense in terms of story. Also, I got used to fighting robots why the sudden inclusion of humans? Plus, they are the slowest and weakest of all - only there to be bullet sponges. --- Katana: If I was harsh I would put this amongst the negative items. First of all, Shadow Warrior players will immediately recognise this weapon since it has the same two animations (primary and secondary attacks) that Lo Wang did when using it. It just has a different skin and while its lightsaber-ish sound makes it interesting its inclusion makes no sense. Your best bet is always to be as far from enemies as possible - Shadow Warrior was different since your acquired abilities allowed you to do special attacks with the blade. Here there's no such thing. Plus, the katana is "in between" the other two weapons so you always have to cycle through it when changing from one weapon to the other. Hard Reset is a great game. It's Redux Edition, however, is not. Newcomers can pick it up if they want but for those already having the original just have to launch the campaign once more - we do not need to find an excuse to go back and play again.

  In my mind, this new version of "Hard Reset" is an either-or sort of proposition. The revisions made to the game are welcome, but really quite minor. Certain enemies make their debuts at different times, a quicksave feature is added (hooray!), and you get a melee weapon... ...but I can't say that I found the sword to be all that helpful. And its the same game. It looks almost exactly the same, the geometric level flow is the same, and the encounters are only rarely different. It's cool of Flying Wild Hog to release this iteration at all, but I also have to say that this really feels like it ought to have been a patch on the original product. Plus, for some reason, they just had to create cyborg zombies for this version. Zombies - seriously, can we get over this phenomenon already? Everyone's done it at least twice. It's unnecessary, especially when you already have a good stable of aggressive opponents for the player to duke it out with. (Mercifully, there aren't that many zombie encounters, and they seem to go away entirely in the late game.) If you don't have the original, get this version, because this "Hard Reset" is clearly the "real" one. If you've already played through "V1.0," though, you may as well skip "Redux." The developer's efforts are to be appreciated, but this just isn't enough of a revamp for it to actually be a separate product.
