The spy who shot me™

Funny idea but motion sickness and really bad aim experience.

Ok for the spirit and the jokes.
Good humor about 90's and some older spy movies.
For this part the game is well made; we don't expect a deep writing or game mechanics.

Not really good on the technical part.
Playing tens of minutes give me sort of motion sickness and nausea.
The graphic is just too sharp, too fluid, something seems off and causes eyestrain and sickness.
It probably would have been better with some grain, and some filter to give an older look.
I tried reducing the resolution to workaround this but it isn't enough.


The worst and more frustrating part by far is the aim mechanic.
The game forces on us a "aim smoothing" which make aiming a painful experience.
As soon as you're aiming the edge of an enemy's hitbox, the mouse speed decrease BY A LOT. You're almost feeling stopped in your aim.
Trying to do an headshot is a pure pain as your pointer almost immediatly stop beside the head of the target.

In fact it probably play a great part in the sickness, as on a bunch of enemy your aim constantly stop and accelerate and stop again.
A really strange idea, never saw it and didn't succeed to disable it.


To me it really is a bummer about this aim system. Can't recommand the game at all due to this, it really break the experience.

And there doesn't seems to have much activity since 2022 so I guess this issue will never move on.

It should be fun but there is so much jank and I don't mean like an old school game.
There are a million cheesy ways to die that only exist to make you start again, the game doesn't have the option to pause mid mission or review mission objectives once you have started.
Using a controller with this game makes it act weird, esp with sprinting not being recognised at a pivotal moment.
The mech fight might be the single most annoying boss fight I have had to do in any game ever and made me put down the game more than once.
Here I am trying again months later and meh, I want to like it but it's just boring.
It's cute for a day if you can get it on sale, but otherwise I'd leave this.

References, humor, good artistic direction.
But mandatory mouse smoothing (and it's a voluntary implemented feature), a lot of bugs and strange movements speed variations.

Ran through 4 missions on normal, realised it was far too easy so I put it on hard and then completed the game and my total time was still only 3.5 hours and that was including messing around with the environment and looking for secrets so the game really isn't that long at all but it was a blast. Its silly as it gets and lacks any form of seriousness (in a good way)

I wish the game was harder and a bit longer but other than that its just a fantastic game to blow through on a weekend.
