    Bright Memory: Infinite is a first-person shooter game that combines fast-paced action, stunning graphics, and sci-fi elements. The game is a remake and expansion of the original Bright Memory, which was released in 2019 as an early access title.

The game is a remake and expansion of the original Bright Memory, which was released in 2019 as an early access title.

    The game’s story follows Shelia, an agent of the Supernatural Science Research Organization (SRO), who is sent to investigate a mysterious phenomenon in the sky that is linked to an ancient secret involving two worlds. The game’s plot is not very clear or coherent, and it does not offer much depth or motivation for the characters. The game’s main focus is on the gameplay, which is where it shines.

    The game’s combat system is a mix of shooting and melee abilities, which can be chained together to create stylish and satisfying combos. The game offers a variety of weapons and skills, such as a sword, pistol, shotgun, rifle, sniper, pulse glove and a time dilation device. The game also features some environmental puzzles and platforming sections that add some variety to the gameplay. The game’s enemies are mostly generic soldiers and monsters, but the bosses pose a decent challenge and require some strategy to defeat.

    The game’s visuals are impressive, especially considering that it was made by a single developer. The game uses ray tracing technology to create realistic lighting and reflections, and the game’s environments are detailed and diverse, ranging from futuristic cities to ancient ruins. The game also has some spectacular set pieces and action sequences. The game’s sound design is also well done, with crisp gunshots and explosions.

    The game’s biggest flaw is its length. The game can be completed in less than two hours, and it does not offer much replay value or extra content. The game also has some technical issues, such as bugs and glitches. The game’s AI is also not very smart or responsive, and sometimes enemies will just stand still or ignore the player.

    Bright Memory: Infinite is a remarkable achievement for a solo developer, but it also feels like a proof of concept rather than a full-fledged game. The game delivers an exhilarating and visually stunning experience, but it also suffers from a weak story, a short duration, and some technical problems. The game is worth playing for fans of action games who are looking for a quick and fun thrill, but it may not satisfy those who are looking for more depth and polish.    … Expand

    An impressive solo debut that gives triple-A shooters a run for their money, even if all the gimmicks quickly give way to reveal a rather short-lived affair. [Issue#18, p.90]

    With its sexy heroine, its naughty fights and its graphics which constantly seek to impress, Bright Memory Infinite has everything of the little guilty pleasure. But some players will feel disappointed because the game is too short and the story is anecdotal.

    Bright Memory: Infinite is a shining example of the power of development tools when placed in the hands of someone who truly knows how to get the most out of them. With its AAA production values and polished gameplay, it provides an evening’s worth of action that entertained me in a way that the genre has struggled to do since Respawn’s underappreciated Titanfall 2. If you’re comfortable with dropping twenty dollars on an experience that you know will be over in a couple of hours and are willing to overlook the messy narrative in favour of the excellent gameplay loops, then Bright Memory: Infinite is absolutely worth supporting.
