Damnation Review
It seems the thought process behind Damnation was something along the lines of: Gears is a good game, let's do a Gear knock off, but our USP will be a Tomb Raider platform mechanic.

How The West Was Lost
I have to admit that like a lot of other people, I was looking forward to Damnation. I love games set in the old West, and the addition of an alternate timeline and a steampunk theme made this one even better, at least on paper.

Would it be wrong for me to start a review by saying this may be one of the worst games I've played in the past three years? Usually I'll put together some spiel with a background and introduction that eventually leads into the review.

This third-person shooter is a trip into hell.
Damnation's biggest accomplishment is making steampunk look bad. Even the usually cool mashing up of fantasy and sci-fi can't save developer Blue Omega Entertainment's mess of a third-person shooter.
Pros:
- Out-of-the-ordinary steampunk story and setting
- Some of the leaping-around acrobatics can be mildly amusing
Cons:
- Mindless combat
- Shooting-gallery enemy AI
- Annoying frame rate hitches and visual bugs
- Abysmal voice acting
- Grating weapon sound effects

Damnation
Every once in a while, a game comes along that completely blows your expectations wide open. Moseying on into town, Stetson angled down over its eyes, Damnation is one of those very games. But for all the wrong reasons.

Damnation review
Let's make this clear right away: Damnation is a game that lives up to its name. A game that promises a lot with its Steam-punk theme and its grand scale, but fails to live up to expectations. A game that is ultimately damned. To understand why, we need to look at where things went wrong.

An Awesome Concept and Setting Can't Elevate Lame Writing and Gunplay
In 1999, Alan Moore wrote The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It proved two things. One: Classic literature is still cool. Two: If you are going to write about an alternate historical reality that meshes steampunk with ancient mysticism, you'd better be a damn good writer.

Damnation
So, though still far from perfect (or particularly pleasurable, come to that), it's the platforming elements of Damnation that are – surprisingly, in fact – the game's highlight. But when they're the best part of an otherwise broken game, what does it matter?

Codemasters present us with a "Vertical Shooter" but does it cut the mustard?
