Gaming Excellence: Greed: Black Border Review

Greed: Black Border is a game that doesn’t quite feel like it knows what it’s doing, or what it wants to be. At first glance, it looks to be a Diablo-esque title, where loot is the name of the game. But then they forget the loot early on, try to add in a lackluster plot…things quickly devolve and everything becomes worse as time passes.

This is a simple game: shoot things, collect loot, shoot more things. The plot is pretty much "Investigate a distress signal, oh no things have gone bad." The gameplay isn’t much deeper either. Black Border is much like any RPG-lite top-down shooter out there. If you’ve played Alien Shooter, a previously released title, you’ll know exactly what this game is like. Unfortunately, Black Border is worse in nearly every way.
