When Spec Ops: The Line was released I barely gave it any attention. I thought to myself: oh gee another generic military shooter, no thanks. But then Zero Punctuation and Extra Credits started talking highly of the game. So it got on my radar. Yesterday in a Steam sale I finally bought the game. And I can say this:
Spec Ops: The Line is the best (military) shooter ever
Yes, it owns all Battlefields and Call of Duties added together (well, minus Modern Warfare 1).
I have never played a military shooter before that made as much as an impact as Spec Ops did. This game really truly shows the ugly side of war. This is the first time a game like this really made me think about what I was doing. And then there is the ending, which I won't spoil. It was amazing.
Besides the story, the game also has solid gameplay. And some of the level design is pretty cool with the sandstorms and all.
It basically comes down to this: if you are a fan of military shooters, then you have to give this game a try.
I do want to point out two things specifically. First, as you might have guessed, I was talking about the single player only. And second, the game is in third person, which might be an issue for some people.
The game is still on sale for 2 more days: http://store.steampowered.com/app/50300/
