The first thing one will note upon starting up the tutorial: this is a good looking game. It's just interesting to see a sequel go free-to-play when the original was, and still is, marketed more traditionally. As I haven't played the first game (also a multiplayer shooter), this is pretty much the last comparison to that previous title I'll be making. Free-to-play titles have seen a lot of success of late, though, which probably has much to do with developers finding a balance between enhancing the experiences of those who spend money and maintaining balanced and playable title for those who won't.īlacklight: Retribution is a follow-up to Blacklight: Tango Down, which, unlike its predecessor, follows a free-to-play model.
A few years ago, I'd have said it was a match made in Hell: a competitive multiplayer first-person shooter based around a free-to-play business model combines the single most over-saturated gaming genre with a financial strategy that is always feared for its potential to fall into "pay to win" territory.
