Bet On Soldier

Unsurprisingly, Bet On Soldier is galaxies away from being a well made and recommendable fps even for its time, especially when meassured against the mentioned games.

Though the gameplay is solid and the graphics are actually pretty good for the time period (comparable to games like Unreal 2, Doom 3, or Butcher Bay).

this game often takes itself really seriously, its like a double A game trying to act like a triple A game, it really tries to set up this B.O.S program as a big thing but it does somewhat get in the way of the game, this is most obvious in the cutscenes and introductions trying to weave a grand narrative but its a fairly generic plot of revenge, about 30 minutes of my playtime is just repeat cutscenes, the voice acting also tries to sound serious but even though im sure these actors tried their best about 80% of the acting comes off as pretty weak or unclear what people have said, although the voice and environment audio mixing here is good so its passable, the subtitles also get mismatched at times, particularly towards the end of the game subtitles cut a few words at first and then at the final mission actually adding or changing words entirely, possibly trying to retcon what the actors actually said, though this is most likely because the studio itself is french and most of the names and culture inside this game is european.
