Gamespy:
In the world of Binary Domain, "Hollow Child" is the nickname pinned on an outlawed robot that not only looks and acts human, but -- in a Blade Runner twist -- doesn't even know it's a robot. The label is also an accurate description of Sega's sci-fi shooter as a whole. Binary Domain looks and plays the third-person, cover-based shooter part, but it's really just a soulless imitation. And I'd love nothing more than to bash its robot brains in.
GF365: "Here are our picks for the ten most underrated third-person shooters that you might not have played before or even known about."
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
Step into a dystopian world full of robots and cyborgs with Binary Domain – the sci-fi shooter game from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. Let's revisit this classic!
I personally enjoyed this when I played it. I know it wasnt reviewed well but f em

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.
Inversion was cool. It was made by the same team behind TimeShift, another really cool but flawed shooter.
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.
^Agreed
This was such an underrated game. I liked the story and some of the action scenes were really good.
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.
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.
If I've listened to reviews like these, I would have missed this underrated gem.
