Tags: HarbingerGame Over has posted a luke warm review of Harbinger, giving it a 75% which it appears it got for graphics and storyline, rather than gameplay. Here's a clip:
That leaves combat where Harbinger should provide its entertainment value, but it just doesn?t happen. Enemies are pretty strong in the game, and so you have to use hit-and-run tactics in almost every fight, and even though there are a couple dozen different enemies, fights go about the same. Shoot a couple times, run away, and then shoot again. Supposedly you can use melee for most of the fighting, but I just found that to be a good way to get killed. And so you just ding the enemies to death, and they?re dumb enough to let you do it. Eventually that gets boring.
Melee supposedly gets much better later on, but getting to the later on just doesn't seem worth it.
