Brink

The mix of parkour and gunplay is an awesome concept that works quite well. The classes are all unique and useful. The storyline - albeit very simplistic - is kinda interesting with it's unapologetically political themes. I want to love this game, and I'll probably play it for a few more hours until I get the last non-DLC achievements. But I have experienced so many frustrating design flaws along the way that I just can't call the game worth your time, and that's a damn shame. I think one more year in development could've given us a really sweet game.

It's a ton of fun and does offer some customization, but don't expect a lot!

Brink is a really fun game that is worth your time if you got it for free. The game hasn't aged well, the game can feel a bit clunky at times. Playing alone is definitely not recommended as your AI partners are god awful, sometimes staying downed for several minutes waiting for a revive instead of respawning, allowing the enemy AI to rush the objective in force and complete it.

Beware though as the challenges which reward weapon parts (at one time) would only reward those attachments if you completed the mission solo. I am not sure if this is still a bug (as I was solo the entire time) but be on the lookout for it.

You can choose between 3 character body types which will affect how easy it is to be hit by enemy fire, how much health you have, and your speed/parkour ability. I didn't do much with the "parkour" system in this game, preferred the heavy body type (once you unlock it that is) and some minigun action.

Overall, the game is fun but it's a bit of a buggy mess, crashing at random and having some weird AI movements which can really throw you off. But if you got it while it was free, it's actually a decent enough game to kill some time.
