    The idea of an FPS in the spirit of Counter-Strike is sound enough, but Rekoil needs to do a lot more than emulate this Valve classic to pull it off.

    This is one of the worst Xbox LIVE Arcade games I've ever played. The conventions are basic, very basic. Gameplay elements like shooting consistently suck.

    Nothing bout the experience stands out, and in eschewing modern enhancements and conveniences, the developer hasn't crafted a purer or more-to-the-point shooter--just a much less interesting and impactful one. [April 2014, p.72]

    Rekoil: Liberator is as generic as they come. Basic maps, uninspired character models, the "same-old, same-old" game modes we're all used to. What it tries to do to make itself stand out it fails at, and what does make it stand out is nothing to be proud of.

    Rekoil is an awful first shooter person full of issues. Bugs, lag, empty servers, glitches, unbalanced weapons and modes... there's no hope for this kind of product.

I eventually only got two kills, when I could actually find the other players. The first was a total fluke when someone ran in front of my floating, drifting ironsights, and the second - and this is the clincher - was when one of the other three players spawned directly in front of me, with their back turned. Dull graphics, awful aiming, a non-existent plot (we need a at least a reason to be doing our shooting these days) make this one uninspiring first-person shooter. You may think the file size of this game might be an issue at around 650MB, and in this case you'd be right. But then the wonderful and innovative Portal: Still Alive was slightly less, and that came out over five years ago. Food for thought.… Full Review »

    A game that looks promising, but fails on all accounts, Rekoil: Liberator is a game that can't deliver anything it promises. Dull graphics,A game that looks promising, but fails on all accounts, Rekoil: Liberator is a game that can't deliver anything it promises. Dull graphics, unbalanced weapons, poor net code and more, this game looks and feels like it's still in it's beta stages rather then a finished product.… Full Review »
