Project: Snowblind

Just finished it and Project Snowblind is one hell of a first person shooter. It is of decent 6-8 hour length (which I prefer my first person shooter campaigns to be of), and the guns are actually pretty creative in both their primary fire and secondary fire, and I love how some resemble closely to the guns of our time while some looks almost alien in their nature is another nice touch. The power ups are also amazing, and having the ability of shield, vision, invisibility, zapping, and bullet time are all useful at some places and I love how those power ups made me stratergize more in terms of my action after I died and returned to the checkpoint. Like I love when fps games make me think before my action pumpy nature and it gives more of a fun edge, where dying doesn't feel like a setback, but more of, "hmm where did I go wrong, maybe if i do xyz then maybe that's where I can improve" and that is why I am actually happy that this game doesn't autosaves, but mostly manual saves for the save stations that you have to find yourself and that made things more edge of the sea for me. Obviously it does give you an option to save between chapters, but mid chapters, well you have to seek out and survive at the same time. Like I love it. Also the different types grenades/throwables were also fun, and I found myself using them a lot, and it gave me flashbacks to how much fun I used to have playing a shooter like Half life because you were always able to stratergize your encounters upon a setback instead of going through one scripted event after another (don't get me wrong, i love those as well, but there is something about a fps that provides you heck ton of gadgets and just says, "ENjOY" lol).

But yeah, Project Snowblind was a fun mid 2000s game that I had a blast with and will totally reccommend anyone who is interested in games like Half Life or Singularity to give it a shot.

Short and interesting gameplay in a nice package.
Held back by some obviously stronger methods of play (shield augment is all I used) and quite a few bugs and odd crashes, it still holds up quite well. The weapons feel good for the time and the choices of path to take is interesting. I ended up just perusing all the routes to see it all and didn't feel either direction was the wrong/better one. It's all up to you! There is the issue of Auto-Aim but you can forget about it, it's not game-breaking. I recommend turning off the Full Screen Effects/Depth Of Field as it creates some awful visuals during cut-scenes and game-play. Overall, I enjoyed this; Definitely worth the low price for something short.

TRASH

Gmanlives said it was good so I bought and beat it years ago. It's trash. Don't let the "lost Deus Ex game" comments fool you.

I was playing this game as a kiddo and I loved it. Now I own it on Steam and I still love it :D

This game seems like just a decent mid-2000s shooter for the first couple levels before it becomes painfully apparent that this was supposed to be a Deus Ex game. Half the game forces you into run-and-gun combat (which starts off rather boring but gets more fun as you get more augmentations and weapons) and the other half consists of the open-ended, stealth-optional level design and gameplay that Deus Ex 1 and 2 were filled with. It's not very long (6 hours if you take your time) but what's there is a fun time.

Has a problem with crashing but theres some workarounds that help, fantastic game as a kid and a great game now as an adult. Recommend it to anyone into older games

dated and jank but worth a dollar

yes if you can get sound to work. it is an easy fix on steam deck but could not fix on my windows pc

Deus Ex at home

Extremely fun OG xbox action slop. Plays a lot like halo, but there's a lot of deus ex influence in the level design.

Pacing is so ADHD you'd think it came out today. Pure action, no downtime just GO GO GO.

It's good junk food. The type of game you buy, get immersed in and enjoy. Don't expect too much besides stupid fun. K?

Crashed 4 times before I could even attempt to play, crashed once trying to load the game, and had to alt tab once and when I tried to tab back in the game crashed.

A childhood game for me that makes me sad that I can't enjoy without emulation or an actual ps2

If you're familiar with Deus Ex games you will find Project: Snowblind very simmilar to those in terms of Weapon progression and Augmentations (altough Project Snowblind is WAY more linear). In fact this was supposed to be a Deus Ex game called "Deus Ex: Clan Wars", following Invisible War. But lets cut the crap and get to the actual thing, Project: Snowblind is REALLY good, it hardly Had any dull moments and its Safe to say its Simply an "action movie" game. Everything happens very fast and the story progression Has no pauses, no long monologues, the cutscenes are straight to the point and i loved it. The protagonist (Nathan Frost) dosent talk much and does more which i think is a good protagonist for an action game. The amount of Weapons and tools at your disposal is INSANE and this game holds one of my favorite weapons of all time, an assault rifle that shoots nanobots that Seek targets, its so goddamn powerful a Boss you will encoutner later in the game does not stand any chance agianst it and it rocks. Project: Snowblind is just one of those games that wants the player to Simply have fun, theres no difficulty settings, the game is fairly easy and you get a ton of ammo and health troughout the game...and that's amazing? The game is really short because of how fun it is but i cant complain. The story is alright there isn't much characters talking but that's how it should be, theres no plot twists nor any large story breakers its just Simply good guys vs bad guys and its FUN. The only problem i Had with the game is that it crashed from time to time (around 4 times maybe) but that was not a problem what'soever...so i can proudly say the game deserves a 9/10, Frost out.

Classic niche FPS. I remember playing this during my college years and it had really got me at the right time. The game doesn't have much of a story but the cutscenes help give maybe a generic story? It just had to be fitted in there.

Secondary objective - gather Intel.
How do you compkete it?
Can someone help?
Game is great 9/10

meh

This game is such an hilarious mess - you can tell just by looking at it that it's development was a chaotic mess of corporate shenanigans, from the way they dropped the Deus Ex IP in favor of modern military shooter dumb bullshit that takes it self so seriously it's hilarious to the aweful backward port from Ps2 to PC - If you think Invisible War suffered from being released on the Xbox, wait until you play this one
This freakshow of a game is such an efficient demonstration of why this industry is the worst - almost as good as Fallout 76

Where do I begin..
Right off the bat, I want to say that I recommend this game and that it's good for what it is, and that's a short, linear shooter with some surprisingly interesting takes on certain mechanics.

This game was originally supposed to be a Deus Ex title and that's immediately obvious when you see not only the graphical style, but also the different possible approaches to missions and the plethora of gadgets at your disposal. The story and characters are interesting enough. Nothing too crazy or innovative but they get the job done pretty well and keep you interested. The shooting feels fine and the mechanics in general are well implemented and intuitive.

My main gripe with this game is that it feels rushed, short and the amount of content it has is disproportionate to its length. From the moment you start playing to the moment you reach the final mission, you keep getting both gadgets and abilities to play around with. This would be great if not for the game's length the developer's removal of RPG elements. You are left with a shell of an RPG game that was ostensibly half-assedly twisted into a full-on first person shooter after it was decided it wouldn't be a good fit in the Deus Ex universe.
For example, you have the option of being stealthy, using cloaking, electricity, super vision, shields, like ten weapons, etc, but in the end it's still a "go straight and shoot everything that moves" type of game and you can easily finish it just by using the first weapon you see and without any abilities. Furthermore, since this is just a linear first person shooter, I don't understand why they felt the need to not allow traditional saves and instead opted to create a system similar to the early Resident Evil games where you have to find a save room and manually save. In this type of game it's just tedious and annoying and does not enrich the experience in any way.

This is definitely a flawed game but I still think it's pretty good and it definitely has that mid 2000s charm and cozy feeling. You can complete the game in a few sittings so these major flaws can't make the game overstay its welcome.

Nostalgia Pure

The time I played this with my best friends and my dad on the PlayStation 2 was one of the greatest experiences.
The game has so many ways to play through the story in different ways, my god.
It offers a solid 5-7 hours of gameplay, though the story is almost nonexistent and pretty bland.
But I love the nostalgia this game gives me.
If you want to play this game, don’t tab out, or the game will crash.

Thought it would just be nostalgia because I played this on the PS2 a long time ago, but it turns out it's a pretty cool game. It crashes often though
