OXCGN's Binary Domain Review: Don't Be A Scrap Head

OXCGN:

"Binary Domain is a third-person, cover-based cyborg shoot-em’ up brought to us by the good people at SEGA CS1, the developers who helm the underrated Yakuza franchise.

This deviation from their regular format takes us to Japan circa the not too distant future.

Sergeant Dan Marshall and his Rust Crew buddies are on a mission to take down the mysterious Amada corporation and their super evil robots, or, “Scrap Heads” as our hero affectionately refers to them.

With an emphasis on cooperation with your AI team (featuring real communication with them over microphone) and a genuinely engaging story, this is a shooter that has enough originality to stand apart from the crowd and definitely shouldn’t be missed by fans of the genre."

No marketing at all for this game....barely heard of it. If you have a game that's half good, shouldn't you be getting press and advertising coverage of it?

Eske5177d ago

Aye. Game marketing is wildly inconsistent. This one's going to get lost without proper attention, which is too bad.

Proeliator5178d ago

Seems interesting, although for some odd reason it reminds me of Vanquish.

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot

pretty solid third person shooter played from start to finish, also there is another great third person shooter game from that time and very unique called Inversion.

porkChop1165d ago

Inversion was cool. It was made by the same team behind TimeShift, another really cool but flawed shooter.

HeliosHex1165d ago

Yeah this was a good game despite poor reviews.

Hofstaderman1165d ago

I still have my copy. It’s a brilliant game despite the reviews.

Cyberpunk Backlog: Binary Domain - A Masterpiece by SEGA

Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the makers of the Yakuza games, Binary Domain is an extremely underrated cyberpunk third-person shooter. Directed by Toshihiro Nagoshi, the mastermind behind the famous Yakuza series, the game is quite different from his previous works. Nagoshi stated that he wanted to explore the themes of life, more specifically through the use of robots. It’s a cyberpunk-themed game, and the game has interesting views on technology, robots and how society would behave in such a world. There are numerous references to other cyberpunk works and fans of the genre will be pleasantly surprised.

I would love a sequel or remake of this game. Such a fun romp

JayRyu2252d ago

^Agreed

This was such an underrated game. I liked the story and some of the action scenes were really good.

Gamehard2252d ago

I've always wanted to play this game. Huge fan of Vanquish and a few of my friends have always recommended trying this, too. I think I even have it on steam and PS3 but just never made time :( The backlog struggle is real.

DerfDerf2252d ago

This game was awesome. So satisfying the way the robots broke into pieces.

SovereignSnaKe2252d ago (Edited 2252d ago )

I'm looking at my copy right now. I got rid of a bunch of 360 games years ago but I just couldn't part with this one. It was really something special. I've recommended it to several people over the years and almost all of them have never even heard of it.
