There’s plenty of enemy variety, and each have a weakness to one of the four firearms or abilities that you have at your disposal. Both can and should be used in tandem to take on the various enemies you’ll face. Shelia is armed with both a firearm and a sword at all times. It’s not hugely different to other FPS titles, but is very much enjoyable. The combat is obviously Bright Memory Infinite‘s raison d’etre. It’s a very interesting design, even if the story supporting it is paper-thin. He’s created a black hole, for some reason, and the entire campaign is centered around you moving ever-closer to this ominous sphere in the sky. Shelia’s goal is to pursue a general who’s up to nastiness. It feels at times as if the development team’s handle on localisation was put on the b-list of ‘to do’ activities, but for the most part it works. You play as Shelia (no misspelling), a member of the Supernatural Science Research Organisation, or SRO (again, no misspelling). It is, however, still a wonderfully enjoyable experience. Furthermore, the level variety has been hemmed in considerably the sci-fi intro of Bright Memory 1.0 is nowhere to be seen, as in Bright Memory Infinite you’ll be pushing forward through wilderness and small villages, but little else. The exploration boils down to finding collectables for purchasing upgrades, and even these simply ask you to check corners opposed to straying from the beaten path. In Bright Memory Infinite, the levels are entirely linear.

Bright Memory Infinite doubles down on the action however. Bright Memory 1.0 offered a variety of environments across small levels, and the occasional distraction or puzzle to solve. Primarily concerning the level structure.

Examining why you should definitely play it, but be in control of your expectations as you do.īefore diving in it would be best to talk about the elephant in the room. This Bright Memory Infinite review will dive into both points. The follow-up is undeniably better, but isn’t exactly much bigger. At least, that’s what we believed at the time. It was an enjoyable, but short taste of what was to come.

The original Bright Memory 1.0 arrived alongside the Xbox Series X|S launch.
