The consequence system; A compelling story; Enormous; screen-filling bosses

Incredibly dumb squad AI; Unremarkable combat

From the mind of Yakuza series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi comes a sci-fi adventure built around what have become the dominant mechanics for third-person shooters. With sleek visuals and the promise of an innovative voice command system, can Binary Domain stand among the established kings of...
