Skip it if you…

- Players who want a forgiving endless mode may hit a wall in its unforgiving challenge.
- Players looking for multiplayer shooting modes may find the single-player focus limiting.
Our take on 2084
The clearest sticking point is endless mode: players who want room to recover from mistakes may bounce off its explicitly unforgiving challenge. Those looking for a long campaign may also reach the end of the story sooner than they want, since the campaign is presented as short.
What is 2084?
2084 is a single-player first-person shooter set in a grim cyberpunk world.
Fight through groups of enemies and face multiple bosses, using hacking to affect some enemies and parts of the environment during encounters. The game has two modes: a short campaign about a Nano-Phage outbreak simulation that has gone wrong, and an endless mode described as unforgiving. The setting features drugs, virtual reality and neural implants as part of everyday life. The game began as a 72-hour internal game jam project, and the vendor says community-driven development is part of its approach.
