Excerpt: "What unfolds is a 10-hour plus rollercoaster ride of equal parts action and downtime, providing the ups and downs in this story-driven game. It is very much a linear game that's focused on delivering a believable world where hubs are inhabited with an impressive number of people to show it is "lived-in" and that everyone is struggling in their own way. This leaves little room to explore areas with collectibles and hidden ammo stashes hanging about. The Underground is harsh, and full of oppression. Above ground is inhospitable and the creatures that roam it are incapable of anything but feral behavior.

4A Games celebrates the 10th anniversary of its first-person shooter by offering it free for a week.
