    Sprawl isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to retro-inspired shooters, delivering a rather by-the-numbers fast-paced shooter experience.

    SPRAWL doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it instead pulls together several established and classic design and gameplay elements to deliver a well-rounded package that succeeds in what it wants to do. Combat is enjoyable and hectic, and though the melee system probably could have used a bit more depth, slowing time to line up the perfect headshot never gets old. The Sprawl may be a largely familiar cyberpunk setting, the the narrative set-up is intruding enough to hold interest. For those looking to scratch a twitch-shooter itch that works equally well for short-burst or longer play sessions, SPRAWL offers a package worth looking into.

    Sprawl is a fun shooter but don't expect a good story or replayability value in it.

    Despite a few frustrating moments and a bug that prohibits completion, Sprawl’s six-hour jaunt is remarkably fun. Across that succinct span, you’ll master bullet time-enriched gunplay while parkouring about. If Max Payne with relaxed gravity sounds remotely interesting, consider spending an afternoon inside this dystopia.

    Thoughts-
    Sprawl isn’t a game without its problems, both technical and game design. Its poor job of explaining how its skill-centric parkour works, and essentially throwing you to the wolves might be endearing to some, but it definitely puts a blemish on a game that’s otherwise pretty fun if you’re into fast-paced FPSes. The gameplay is the centerpiece in Sprawl, and just about everything else is made in service offering up an entertaining, if rather by-the-numbers fast-paced shooter.

    A pretty cool cyberpunk OG fps / movement shooter, a little bit conservative on when levels give you additional weapons (a la Quake I: E2M1).A pretty cool cyberpunk OG fps / movement shooter, a little bit conservative on when levels give you additional weapons (a la Quake I: E2M1).

    Enemies have weak spots, health bars, and flash when they enter a mode you can use finishers on and drop ammo/hp/armour/adrenaline (DOOM remake mechanic) which you use to enter slow motion mode.

    Soundtrack has songs reminiscent of Ghost in the Shell as well.
