Bright Memory: Infinite

"Bright Memory: Infinite is an incredibly mixed bag. The story is nonsensical and the bosses are a bit disappointing. However, the overall gameplay is immensely satisfying, and the graphics are incredible."

"Bright Memory: Infinite offers gameplay that successfully mixes shootings with leveled weapons and hand-to-hand combat, without sacrificing anything on the technical side and on the fluidity of the clashes."

"Buoyed by beautiful visuals, great performance, and entertaining exposition, Bright Memory: Infinite still feels like a small part of a complete game."

"While it&s;s hard to be too critical, considering the entire project was developed by one person and a small staff, it&s;s also hard to even call this a full game. It&s;s a shame because its graphics rival tentpole AAA productions …"

"Bright Memory: Infinite looks great, and the combat is fun. Everything else, like its platforming and story, fails to captivate and leads to an overall poor experience."

"In Bright Memory: Infinite, a brief campaign doesn&s;t keep the game from providing some above-average shooter excitement."

"Bright Memory Infinite is a disappointing follow-up to a prelude that made its share of promises. It&s;s a shame because a polished expansion on the original concept would have had a certain cult appeal, whereas Infinite feels watered down. It&s;s …"

"Bright Memory: Infinite feels like a tech demo someone made just to prove they could do it. It’s not a bad game, in fact it looks and feels great to play. It just doesn’t feel like a completed game, as …"

"Bright Memory Infinite gets in its own way, and occasionally takes the focus off of its strongest quality: the core mechanics. I wish that Infinite was just a full extension of the action-packed prologue and was a little more polished, …"

"While the length may be an issue, there is a flip side to it. Just as I was starting to tire of the guns and sword combo fest, it was over. It wasn’t long enough for me to get tired …"

"Gunplay, swordplay, and force pulls—what more could you want in an action first-person shooter? Bright Memory: Infinite is a passion project developed by a single person, promising cinematic thrills and phenomenal visual design. While the effort is commendable, other aspects …"

"Despite being a jack of all trade (and master of none), Bright Memory: Infinite is still a game both frantic and visually impressive, but it&s;s also very short. Maybe too short."

"Bright Memory: Infinite suffers when it strays from its amazing gun and melee combat, faulting the otherwise frantic pace of the game with slower sections that feel included for the sake of adding something different."

"Bright Memory: Infinite will go down as a largely impressive game held back by glaring shortfalls. The frenetic and uniquely compelling shooter/hack ‘n’ slash combat as well as the breathtakingly realistic visuals make for a worthy experience alone. Unfortunately, that …"

"Bright Memory: Infinite is negatively affected by a very limited longevity and a marked underlying linearity, but the combat system and the graphic sector significantly rebalance the situation."

"Bright Memory Infinite is not without flaws, but thanks to the use of a fast and intuitive combat system it keeps the player glued to the screen for the two hours it takes to reach the end credits."

"Bright Memory Infinite&s;s tight gunplay is simply spread too thin to make up for an otherwise uninspired experience."

"Bright Memory Infinite is still at best a visual tech demo. It&s;s lack of quality of life updates and extremely short play time still makes me wonder if this was the full game to begin with. Still, the gun blasting …"

"Short but intense, Bright Memory Infinite is a next-gen shooter with good ideas and concepts, but doesn&s;t know how to take advantage of it."

"While I can appreciate the wonderful gameplay and can truly be impressed by the fact the game was made by one person, it&s;s simply not enough of an experience to justify a purchase. The game&s;s nonsensical story is extremely hard …"

"Bright Memory Infinite brings the ideas of its predecessor to a much more satisfying conclusion and comes within striking distance of many of the games it’s inspired by."

"In the end, Bright Memory: Infinite feels like an advert for a much larger, much more ambitious game and the price tag (around $15 or so), reflects that. Bright Memory: Infinite both absolutely looks and plays the part of a …"

"Bright Memory: Infinite is a shooter that accepts what it is. It feels great, the shooting is sublime, and it is impressive considering the development team behind it. There is a lot here to love and it feels like a …"

"Bright Memory: Infinite is a stupidly written good time spoiled by a way-too-brief runtime and insultingly abrupt ending"

"Bright Memory: Infinite offered a good experience, despite the many problems that appeares in the game, whether in terms of a meager story, which does not exceed two hours, or even the level of bad AI, the developers provided us …"

"Bright Memory Infinite may seduce you with the amazing graphics, but unfortunately its good ideas have literally no time enough to shine."

"Still, with its impressive visuals and non-stop action, Bright Memory: Infinite is worth a look for those who value thrills over playing time. Beyond multiple difficulty levels there’s not much reason to spend more time it, and that’s a real …"

"Bright Memory: Infinite offers concise and frenetic thrills, but technical issues and that same brevity hold it back."

"A slender and streamlined FPS made by just one person, Bright Memory: Infinite is quite the feat – an action game that flies by at a lick, bombarding you with slick set pieces and cracking gunplay. This is a first-person …"

"Bright Memory: Infinite is a short but could-be-much-sweeter shooter, and a hard one to recommend. It&s;s glitchy, it has an incoherent story that ends abruptly, the AI is inconsistent, and the whole thing is over in just about two hours. …"

"Bright Memory: Infinite is a matured version of the original Bright Memory, stripping away some of that game&s;s excesses for a more put-together experience. That said, the story is still complete insanity (that&s;s barely acknowledged by the characters), and it&s;s …"

"Despite all my problems with Infinite, it’s a game made by a single developer (for the most part) that was amazing looking enough that Xbox wanted to tie it to its then next-gen, now current-gen console. While Infinite isn’t available …"

"Bright Memory: Infinite is a promising new entry from a small studio, with visuals and a gameplay loop that give it the opportunity to sit alongside some of the heavy hitters in the genre. While it&s;s lacking in a few …"
