Strange Brigade

Criminally underrated game with a fantastic setting. This game deserved so much more.

FOR EVERYONE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH 4-5 MINUTE BLACK SCREENS AT THE START
Go into your BIOS and disable Hyper-Threading, something with the newer build of windows 10 (possibly even 11) breaks Hyper-Threading in regards to Strange Brigade, causing it to hang when booting. The same issue effects the game Code Vein and needs fixed by the developers.
Please remember to re-enable Hyper-Threading after playing the game, as disabling it can negatively impact performance in other titles!

Is it repetetive? yes. But as long as you know what you're getting into, it's fun. As someone else said, it is a bit serious sam like, you're blasting your way trough waves of enemies, and doing some light exploration and puzzle solving, and looting, and that's it. Nothing more, nothing less.
Looks good, runs great.

Normally,I don't like puzzle-type games.But Strange Brigade really has a different experience.After playing this game,I started to love puzzles.The game is really funny and very beautiful.It is a better game,especially with friends and a full team of 4 people.I would definetely recommend the Extreme challenge,and those bulls that were constantly running at you had me throwing a tantrum.I would not recommend buying the game at its current price.But if it goes on sale,I suggest you buy the full version.Good games

+ Light story
+ Performs well in 4K on modern GPUs
- Missions 2-12 aren't offering any new game mechanics that wouldn't already be present in the 1st mission
- Overpriced if not on sale (80€ for the Deluxe Edition is excessive)

Strange Brigade is a good spin over game with Zombie Co-op theme.
It's definitely not worth it's fully price, but with heavy discount it's definitely a good catch.
Achievements are balanced - I did not find anything extremely hard in terms "you need to be skilled".
Although finding "jar" collectible is such a chore and without guides, it would be near impossible for me.
Notes are so-so,
Cats collectibles are fine.
Relics are fine, except that you can block yourself and in extreme cases even reloading checkpoint will not help.
Shooting is just okay - you get that vibe of WW1 or WW2 weapons, accuracy is missing. (Power too, if you are playing Extreme). Weapon choice is not that great - we get number of them, but only 3 or 4 of weapons feel sensible. Progression could make it more logical - you can unlock last weapon first, if you get enough gold.
Weapon upgrades are uneven - and you cannot unmount the gems. Bollock. And option to sell them for 100 gold? So silly.
To some point game is very repetitive - although you get new enemies, in my opinion they do not vary much. They give some refreshment and challenge, but it's not long term.
Amulets are similar story - some feel useless. Some are awesome.
Graphically, I really liked the game. There were no places where it evidently lost much FPS - it kept stable.
Narrator? Gave the game another charm. Although general humor in this game is "British" (as per my teammate).
Horde mode is waste of time. It loops itself. Not really fun. Maybe done once.
Attack Score? Somewhat nice addition, but timer is sometimes way too strict IMO.
I enjoyed the game, it has it's flaws, but generally it's well done game. If you are not purist and have some friends, I recommend to grab it.
Solo experience should be fine, too.

kind of a reskin of the Zombie Army spinoffs of Sniper Elite, but nothing bad about that. a nice, fun adventure. it's silly and simple in a good way. a shame there was never a sequel
