    E.Y.E. is a mixture of very good and very bad, so it scores a 5 for me. The concept is very good, though not unique.

You get RPG elements of character progression and customization that are quite nice and diverse, and you get a mixture of occult and technology, which few other games offer (Clive Barker's Jericho is another). The mood is a strange brew of horror and dystopia that's well supported by an alien dialog and quirky soundtrack and it really works. The ranged weapons are very satisfying to use, being both precise and powerful. It feels right to kill someone with a single bullet instead of with a barrage that would shred an elephant. This was on the right track to becoming a very good shooter, but... the bad: It is very unstable. Performing simple things, like navigating the menus, forced me to reboot Windows 7. And I mean "big red button" shutdown, not a clean exit. I own a truckload of indie games and Source games and not one of the others does this. The interface is overly convoluted and frankly, unpleasant to use. It gets in the way of the game. Finally, the lack of polish, makes it feel more like a mod than a stand-alone game. A "version 2" of this game, with a streamlined interface and the bugs removed, is sorely needed to make it a viable contender in the shooter space. In its present state, it's a fun curiosity if you can get it on sale, but it isn't likely to make it to many people's favorites list.… Expand

    Like all cunning satires, E.Y.E. is in many ways better than the media tropes, games, and films it makes fun of. Cyberpunk wasn't a setting or a look and feel - all of that is just how the mainstream received William Gibson - it was deconstructing and rebelling against an odious and bloated genre of science fantasy.

Cyberpunk wasn't a setting or a look and feel - all of that is just how the mainstream received William Gibson - it was deconstructing and rebelling against an odious and bloated genre of science fantasy. E.Y.E. is continuing that - the garbage dialogue that everyone goes on about is mocking the player for being docile enough to enjoy a Skyrim-style subquest whose author uses every cliche in the book to try and make the gamer care about a digital non-entity. This game is saying "stuff all that, have a proper bloody cyberpunk gunfight: Gibson, Harlan Ellison, Blade Runner etc etc were all very literary and clever but all they really bequeathed us was a desire to blast through gangs of punks with a cybernetically enhanced warrior". And that's what this game is - the sorts of gunfight Robocop would have - you'll blitz through wave after wave of inferior beings with a cybernetic killing machine. Then your clip will run out and you'll get pinned down and have to be repeatedly resurrected. Like the cyberpunk tropes. My favourite is the factory in the first level, the inside of which looks exactly like the aftermath of the fight between Sgt. Motoko and the robot tank at the end of Ghost in the Shell. Like they just didn't tidy up afterward, left the bits of the tank there, and hundreds of years later it's a location in a game. This is like Syndicate without the backstory (!?) - cyberpunk's backstory is the ruins of human literature.… Expand

    I feel like much of the criticism towards E.Y.E is due to a lack of understanding. This game is not Deus Ex, Stalker, or Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.

    E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy is a game about shooting things. You can choose from a large variety of weapons, and there are usually a few ways to approach every situation. It's very open-ended, for an FPS. The game's aesthetic draws inspiration from cyberpunk works, such as Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell, while also giving many nods towards franchises such as Warhammer 40,000. Stealth and hacking elements exist to assist you in murdering people. They are tools, rather than styles of play. Enemies respawn, which may seem irritating at first, but then you realise that if they didn't, there wouldn't be very many people for you to shoot.

    If murdering dozens of men every mission doesn't sound appealing to you, then you probably won't like this game. If you want am FPS experience like no other, you might just enjoy it. It's extremely niche, but it satisfies the needs of this niche group like no other game can.    … Expand

Hacking is boring, story is a mess, translation is bad, enemies spawn everywhere you can't see and can spot you from 500m away, melee feels clunky and you have to around A LOT. Inventory system also sort of forces you to use only one weapon because you can't carry enough ammo otherwise.… Expand

    This one's rather an experience. Not a mindless one at that.

    If you're confused, concentrate and think, dammit.

    That's not to say if you didn't enjoy you're inferior but rather that people used to games holding their hands *should* try and invest in some more independently-minded titles even if they don't like it the problem's on their end.

    And all that talk about bad localizations and too omnipotent enemies is trash. People are disgusted by (insane) originality and a hard game, that's all there is to it. Also, people aren't used to a truly oppressive and haunting setting. This *is* true mental and depicted dystopia we're presented here. The game often feels like a Lynch movie!

    As to similarities, EYE is akin to the original Deus Ex, moreso Doom 1 and 2, and in its level-up the original Diablo with some extra depth to it. References are made to many cyberpunk wonders, including Ghost in the Shell. And in its lore it feels like a slightly more abysmal and dreamlike world of Warhammer or of Texhnolyze the animated series.

    If you can still play original Doom, Deus Ex and Diablo games with joy, this one's right for you!    … Expand

Where it falls apart though is in game direction (starting out you get no primer at all and are left on your own to figure out what the hell is going on, which could take a few hours or some heavy googling), the localization (language) is very Korean MMO-esque which also causes the story to falter, menus within menus with literally no explanation when you first play of what the hell is what.

    Then there's random stuff like why the hell are there monsters and thugs running around the streets and all shooting at me? Couldn't the monsters at least attack the thugs? Plus, the Enemy AI is a little TOO GOOD. You can't even hide yourself inside a building or room. They will come straight for you even if they start out on the other side of the screen (300+ yards away).

    If you're a Deus Ex or Cyberpunk/Sci-Fi fan this is a game you will want to like but this really feels like it was prime for Beta and maybe close to release but right now...definitely not release ready.

    If you can look past all of that it's still not a bad buy for under 9 bucks.    … Expand

One of the first things I noticed about this games were the odd translations, they aren't terrible, but definitely not good. I'm guessing numerous things got mixed up during translations though, because the dialogue of the NPCs very heavily. One minute the dialogue is believable and seems to fit the lore, the next it seems like it's made by a juvenile 14 year old.

    Translations and story aside, the gameplay is a below average with enemies that wait in place for you to headshot them. Enemy variety is low, and even when you fight a different enemy you use the same tactics as they don't offer a new challenge. The level designs are bland, with no motivation to explore because there aren't any items or interesting locales to find. Completing quests don't feel as rewarding as other games, as you aren't rewarded any new weapons or gear, just money for high priced items.

    Overall the game falls short in a lot of categories, it's playable, but not really enjoyable. If it was more story driven with better dialogue I could see this game being a 7 at least.    … Expand

The result is EYE: Divine Cybermancy, a game with no limitations or respect for the rules of game design, with over the top action, incredibly in-depth, flexible and at times daunting character progression, abusable physics, insanely powerful weapons and an perplexingly convoluted, mind-numbing narrative coupled with a generous host of bugs, 16+ player coop and generally just absolutely crazy gameplay. EYE is SO crazy that the player character has a sanity meter, and when it dips low, he can suffer vivid halucinations. EYE gives the player numerous options for negotiating its sprawling stages: Where negotiation, hacking and stealth fail, the player can employ a varying array of firearms, melee weapons, cybernetic augments and psychic powers to devastate your numerically superior but sorely outmatched foes. As you progress, even assault VTOLs and twenty-foot tall rocket-spewing psycho-deamons will not give you pause. EYE also lets you adjust not only its difficulty but the respawn rate and AI behaviors of its enemies, giving you fine control over its experience. EYE has a few major issues, most notably its poor English translation, easily (and necessarily, in my opinion) remedied by downloading and applying a fan-made translation patch, available from the steam forum. EYE was released around the same time as Deus Ex: Human Revolution, obviously to capitalize on an upswing in interest in cyberpunk games, but in truth, it is a very different beast. Where Deus Ex rewards the calculating, stealthy player who avoids the game's useless lethal weapons in favor of the almighty tranq rifle, EYE fully allows you to become an unstoppable, heavily armed and armored, posthuman super-warrior, and its setting and asthetic owes a great deal more to Warhammer 40,000 then, say, Neuromancer- amusing considering this game's developer has gone on to work on an actual 40k game, the upcoming FPS Space Hulk: Deathwing.

I've played plenty of RPGs and FPSs from Far Cry to Witcher 2 to Battlefield 2, and I still had no idea which buttons I was expected to press. A previous reviewer stated he was able to skip all the videos and jump right in. I imagine he's a genius, spent a half-hour (or more) pressing buttons to see what they do, or's lying.

    Aesthetically, the game is "a bad kind of dark." Often, you're in dark areas with poor light, and ugly textures. It's generally excusable when using a high-end game engine, as the technology compensates. However, I guess this is a taste preference, because others have praised the game's aesthetics.

    Psi abilities can be fun to use and watch, but using the standard weapons is very dull. The AI itself is very dull and unrefined, which is probably why I was bored with combat. They run right at you after spawning from the ground, do their attack, and die (not necessarily in that order). That said, enemy AI is much more interesting than friendly AI dialogue, which I guess was not originally written in English. It shows, though it doesn't excuse the obtuse characters who lack depth and development.

    However, while I was bored out of playing the game to the end, there're a LOT of ideas in this game I hope will be further looked into. I actually thought the hacking minigame was a bit fun (... out of combat) -- it's sort of like an old-school RPG game where you have basic stats displayed and use your abilities to create a weakness and attack before the object you're hacking "kills" you. Research was fascinating, and I think a far superior mechanism than how the latest Mass Effect handled research (remember? scan, scan, scan.... eyes droop.... Oh - something to click on for the nth time for x resources! ..... scan, scan, scan......). Someone previously wrote about how the game's research mechanic is most similar to X-COM's - and that isn't the only influence it had. X-COM was the first game I played with the inventory management scheme as EYE has, similar to how Res. Evil 4's works.

    Overall, I liked a lot of the mechanics I saw at play in EYE, but I didn't enjoy the package enough to tolerate more than a few hours. A well-funded and long-developed sequel may produce the gem whose sparkle is occasionally glimpsed at, and that's the only reason why I'd recommend buying the game.    … Expand

    I genuinely like this game. It has fantastic gun-play, many fun abilities and top notch visuals for a source game. However, it has many things holding it back. To name a few:
    1- A horrid French-to-English translation
    2- Poor optimization 3- A confusing cluttered interface 4- Your saves may become corrupt unexpectedly (You could always counter this by backing up your saves, but I'd assume    I genuinely like this game.

    All in all I'd say that it's worth its current price ($9.99 USD). I've had fun with it and intend to have even more.    … Expand

    There are many excellent things about EYE. The novel death system really does make you take care and adds an extra level of tension to the action. When you see a new unknown enemy on the horizon you don't want to charge in and see if it will own you because there's no classic save/load function as such.

    The visual theme is also unique. Being an Indie game it couldn't spend the big moolah    There are many excellent things about EYE.

    The visual theme is also unique. Being an Indie game it couldn't spend the big moolah on shiny graphics, so went for the Source engine and uses a distinctive grungy techno style. It works and rather then the graphics holding back the game, they become one of it's plus points.

    the MEATYNESS of the weapons and character movement is also impressive. You really do feel like a cyborg made of metal and bullets.

    I've heard reports of bugs, crashes and performance issues from other reviews but after 15 hours of play I've not come across a single one. This game makes many big budget titles look like bug-ridden crash-fests (but then I guess may of them are..)

    Down sides include some slightly repetitive gameplay and a horrific minigame experience that is often neccesary to do repeatedly, but overall this in one of the best indie games out there and a good game in it's own right.    … Expand

    This is a rare indie gem. If you like Sci-Fi, FPS, RPGs and huge open levels then this game is for you. Though it's built on the older Source engine, the game world is simply stunning. What sucks you in is the atmosphere. It's truly a unique game world and will leave you wanting to explore the levels thoroughly. The RPG system is very deep.

It's truly a unique game world and will leave you wanting to explore the levels thoroughly. The RPG system is very deep. You can play your character in many different way depending on what build you like. Hacking, stealth, melee, sniper, assault style, ninja style, PSI abilities, cyber implants. The list goes on and on and on. One thing that stands out about EYE is that you can advance your character via both single & multiplayer. The coop is fantastic. The devs keep in good contact via the Steam forum for EYE and have vowed to patch and support their popular new game. This will be the best $20 you spent on a game in a long time!… Expand

    EYE suffers from too broad a scope. The result is a loss of focus and features and mechanics not implemented or executed as well as they could have been.

When complete, the researched item awards certain benefits orEYE suffers from too broad a scope. The result is a loss of focus and features and mechanics not implemented or executed as well as they could have been. For example, similar to X-COM, EYE allows players to research different weapons and technology, allocating a number of scientists to research a particular item over time. When complete, the researched item awards certain benefits or unlocks new research options for the player. The game, however, never explains what benefits each piece of research will yield leaving the player to blindly throw money into items he can only hope will provide benefits to his particular character class or style of play. Players can also invest in passive bonuses which are much better explained and therefore more relevant in sculpting a preferred play style or class. EYE features a good variety of weapons, skills, and abilities that truly provide a breadth of options in how players approach the game. Do you hack the cyberbrain of an enemy trooper, possess him, and force him to kill his comrades? Do you use PSI powers to create clones of yourself and assault head on? Do you cloak, stealthily moving to high ground to pick off enemies with a silenced sniper rifle? Do you teleport into their ranks, mercilessly cutting them apart with a two-handed sword? This variety, coupled with the open ended level design, provide a great deal of freedom in how players decide to approach the game and is perhaps EYE's best feature. However, the only introduction players receive to this vast swath of game mechanics is a pull up menu of tutorial videos. The videos explain the basics of every feature, but don't answer every question, leaving players to discover much on their own. This can be frustrating at first and may lead to confusion about how to level a character toward a specific class or play style or what certain attributes do. Another excellent feature is character continuity. The profile players create for the single player campaign is the same character players use in multiplayer. Of course, players also have the option of creating a separate profile just for multiplayer if they so desire. This means a player with a level 20 character can play the campaign cooperatively with his friend's level 1 character. Coop play is also a blast and best with 2 or 3 players though the game support up to 4. It's great fun coordinating how to tackle mission objectives with your friends based on each player character's strengths. The singleplayer campaign is short, but multiple endings may draw players back for another run. When you complete the game, it starts of from the beginning, but you retain your items, money, character level, and stats. I don't know, however, if the game automatically raises the difficulty for the new game.… Expand

    One word is enough to describe the experience of playing E.Y.E.: variety. As an FPS/RPG hybrid, the game offers so many options for your character, from the DNA in the genes to the kind of armor worn. [February 2012]

    It's no masterpiece, but full of surprises. It may take some time to get into the game, but the different ways to progress in the game are motivating.

    If you're bored of all those standard issue FPS games, E.Y.E. is definitely worth trying. Don't mistake this indie cyberpunk FPS for Deus Ex imitation, for it surely isn't. It has fresh ideas, vast well-designed levels, wide array of nice weapons, cybernetic skills and PSI powers and an interesting plot. The game is almost too ambitious for its own good, which makes it cumbersome at times and hard to approach. It has also some minor bugs yet to be squashed. But even with its flaws E.Y.E. is something very unique. [Oct 2011]
