Blacklight: Retribution

Blacklight: Retribution developer Zombie Studios isn't trying to reinvent the first-person shooter genre. Instead, it's taken familiar modes and combined them with excellent visuals and some of the tightest shooting controls since Call of Duty. But the team smartly realized that even good shooting isn't enough to draw entrenched players away from their favorite games, and made Blacklight even more compelling with a free-to-play system that pairs well with Blacklight's complex character and weapon customization. The end result: a great competitive shooter that's fun enough that its flaws are easy to overlook. While Blacklight is a shooter first and foremost, its robust customization system gives it an almost RPG-like quality. You can customize your character's appearance, changing out their armor to give them more health or faster running speed. Additional equipment slots help you flesh out your character's capabilities, tailoring them to your particular playstyle. But all of these bits of customization pale in comparison to the star of the show: your weapon. You start with a basic framework like an assault rifle or shotgun, and then change its clip, barrel, stock, sight and more. Every piece you add affects a number of stats such stamina, how long it takes to scope-in, and your bullet spread, giving you plenty of room to fine tune your loadout to your needs. It's fun to tinker around with items, and makes the experience grind more exciting since you're always on the hunt for the next best piece of gear. While not without flaws, Blacklight is a good option for anyone looking for a new competitive shooter. Great shooting mechanics and deep customization options make for an addictive combination, and its free-to-play model makes it easy to jump into with no upfront cost. Character customization is important, but giving you and your friends the guns and battlegrounds to kill one another in remains the focus for the Blacklight series, so you won't find any single player campaign here. Instead, you create a free account and hop right into modes taken straight from any number of other games, such as capture the flag, king of the hill and team deathmatch. These modes offer something for everyone: blood thirsty players can slay one another in deathmatch, while support and team-focused players can jump into modes that encourage cooperation. With the exception of king of the hill, Blacklight's modes present good versions on timeless classics. King of the hill suffers due to poor spawning of the control points. Matches end up being a matter of who spawned closest to the random location of the next point rather than who has the better team. Blacklight's game modes may not be all that original at this point, but they're engrossing thanks to the game's excellent controls. It doesn't matter how good the rest of a FPS is if the shooting isn't just right, but Blacklight succeeds; what's here feels fast and responsive, empowering for a skilled player regardless of whether or not they're spending boatloads of cash on new fancy items. Today I will just start playing Blacklight and see if it is as good as people say. Even though it was released 1 year ago. I will download it on steam and probably play it and make live streams on my YouTube account dudeweezer or Jayson Matthews. Or if you want to play with me my name is ShadowTeen901. I hope I could make a live stream my internet is week from where I am playing my video games. I also herd that It is better to play Blacklight not with the keyboard and with a bought controller or a station controller. I have a PS3 controller but it looks hard to install to my PC. So tonight I will see if the myths are true. Steam is the best to get Blacklight if you don't know what steam is it is a website where you can download games for your PC.
