User Rating: 10 | The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay - Developer's Cut PC
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was a totally new experience for me because it went into the world of Riddick and his merc-“buddy” Johns who tries to sell him at butcher bay. Hoxie the master of the prison city takes Riddick in the triple max prison which is very high secured and is very strict. You, undoubtedly play as Riddick, the last remaining Fruian who struggles to survive as he is hunted by many because of his high bounty. Story aside the game starts as a dream which is more like a tutorial but u get into the flow of it and as you play through, Riddick gets more powerful and learns to unleash the furian inside of him. There is also sort of an action/adventure feel to it too because of all different environments and levels that u can go through. Role playing type of gameplay was also quite present at times for example that u have to talk to the people in order to get the information needed to continue to the next level. The UV currency was also an interesting part of the game where u can buy tools and weapons from some of the prisoners and workers. The atmosphere of the varies throughout the levels and makes u feel like u are really in a prison but its rather too comfortable for Riddick as he later gets his Eyeshine ability later in the game which is a advantage over his enemies. The best part of the game is that u never feel like u are just stuck in one kind of gameplay and if u get tired of shooting then u can fight in melee combat in the prison ring or use the dark as protection an have a stealthy kind of gameplay. Or is u just get tired of fighting and shooting, u can go around doing sub missions for other people and earn some money which adds more of a role playing sense to the game. This game is on of the best FPS I have played I think it might even be my best. The only negative point is that at the end, I was left thinking… that’s it? After all the action it felt like it almost ended abruptly. The only thing I hope for is a sequel as good as this one.
