Let’s Play Total Recall! Another Filmbruary, another set of subpar games. Wait, Total Recall isn’t subpar. Well okay, it’s not great, but it’s kind of fun. It was featured in one of those infamous “Game Player Tapes” that we had as kids, I know that, so that on its own makes it worthy of a let’s play.
Let’s Play Total Recall:
I actually just saw Total Recall for the first time, the movie that is. I sort of saw it in college once, but a random tornado was threatening at the time and I think I was drinking at the time and playing cards while it played in the background and we made sarcastic observations, so I kind of don’t remember anything about that.
But yeah, when I saw it more recently, it was pretty good actually. I was trying to do something productive while it was on but the movie kept pulling my attention, so there’s something to say about it.
As for something to say about the game which is based on the movie, it’s pretty damn difficult, actually. The first half is pretty doable, but as soon as you land on Mars, they crank it up. You saw how many times I had to reload for that near final stretch. Yeah it’s pretty insane. So much so that I don’t remember much outside of the final stretch, but overall not a bad game.
