Edit: The corpse despawn being diegetic is actually pretty near, and the way the story just ends so abruptly screams to me that they were rushed to release. I wonder what more they'd have done with it, though think it probably would have just been a simple both sides bad narrative. Would have liked to see it become more than it did.

Quite a good review. The only mistake I found that lot of game reviewers doing, is selecting difficulty which is quite easy for them, so they feel boring. "Pretending to be dead" works much better on hard difficulty, when you have split second to decide if you wanna to pretend and hope that your squad move enemy from you, or take your chances. Also fight with elite soldiers doesn't seems so hard, and spike difficulty not so steep at the end, because previous fights wasn't so easy. Server room fight is definitely the hardert. Also game glitched on me there and I didn't get checkpoint after I finally survived at the server room, so next few corridors I fought like an animal to not die and go back to server room fight again. I think at this moment Haze became the best console shooter I played for years. Anyway, thanks for review, I always like to compare my experience with someone else.

While i never experienced this game at the time and never played it but only watched a few gameplays online, i actually wanted to try the demo last year. And yeah, i was only less than 5 minutes in and it bored me so quick that i deleted the demo lol.

KoRn did a song for this game called HaZe. I've never played this game before and it doesn't seem good. But the song is worth checking out.

I remember beating the whole game on hardest difficulty a couple years ago. Wasn't a fan either, but the story had potential I guess. Was a little bit challenging from what I remember, especially the last level or 2.

When that Trophy sound was going off I thought HAZE doesn't have Trophies then realised it wasn't the game doing that :D + TimeSplitters1/2/3FP by FRD was AMAZING on the PS2 & this game was nothing like their normal games(& now I know why) :-/ Hopefully one day we will get a TimeSplitters Trilogy update on PlayStation :P (+ it's GOT TO HAVE the 4 player split-screen mode to because that was BRILLIANT especially in TS2) :P

Agreed. The team is back together and working on a new Timesplitters game right now :) Also really hoping for 4-player split-screen as that's what TS was all about for me

It's one of those games with some really great ideas, but unfortunately executed poorly. They spoiled the story in the trailers before it even came out, that was a big screw-up. The game had so much promise, probably why there was a decent amount of hype for it. I thought the first bit was decent, but too much was forgettable.

Haze wasn’t that bad of a shooter. It was mid but I enjoyed it. I feel like it gets a lot of hate for it’s time
@ToastyCubes
Жыл бұрын
We live in an era where "mid" now means terrible. This is partially IGN's fault, since they flat out refuse to score mediocre games below a 6 or even a 7. So when someone hears a game is just okay or mediocre, that registers as forgettable, unambitious, and sometimes bad. If you want some recent examples, look at games like Forspoken or Dead Island 2.
