REDSIDE episode 1
In the exciting technotriller REDSIDE , the player will visit the Soviet side during the Cold War.
REDSIDE is a series of games related to one plot, characters, events and the universe. I present to your attention REDSIDE episode 1 - the first game in the series.
During the operation to free Soviet citizens, the GRU special forces group receives information about the existence of an international channel for the supply of chemical weapons components. Intelligence assumes that someone is preparing a terrorist attack using a chemical warfare agent “Sarin”. Neither the targets of the terrorist attack, nor the executors, nor the customers are known, which means that the consequences of such an attack are unpredictable. In the context of a new round of the Cold War gaining momentum, such an attack could lead to the beginning of the Third World War. To prevent the worst scenario, the GRU uses all its capabilities and conducts a number of special operations around the world. Will it be in time?

Sin-Cay
This game seems like something straight out of a course or class on Unreal Engine. The menu reminds me of a retro X-com game and the blank white starting screen in the beginning made me think the game was broken. There are too many complaints I have about this game that I cannot recommend it in its current state.
Starting out, you are just dropped into a dark cave with terrible lighting issues. So avoid if you have aversions to blinking lights. Any enemies that aggro on you growl a terribly leveled voice that’s overpowering all other noises despite distancing. They take nothing to kill and even the over-sized replicas of the same enemies take minimal bullets. The bullets are infinite. You can heal yourself infinitely and hurt yourself… why? Only useful in the event of getting stuck? Depending on where you lookin the first level, the game tries to use some kind of realistic lighting but it’s not well implemented and everything goes invisibly dark. After beating the first level, you are dropped into another place with no context and you and your character have no idea who you are or what you are doing or the direction you should go. It’s a project (as seen in task manager as the file name) vastly needing improvement, clearer direction and purpose. The only puzzle I solved was shooting some explosive barrels. It could be fun with the diversity of locations and portals to new areas, but there needs to be more direction, world building, and context. It just feels like you tried new meshes and textures in each specific setting. Maxed out my 3070 on epic settings unnecessarily. The settings menu is limited, you can’t even control audio. Nah.

For me this game is more promising than other reviewers have found it. I’m not usually crazy about too much story line (too much for my taste in Crysis for eg) but with my favourite shooters going down the campaigns as thinly disguised survival scene after survival scene, where you face ever increasing and ultimately, pointless hordes of enemies to disguise a lack of imagination (think Doom Eternal - Ancient Gods, Serious Sam 4) this game strikes a nice balance for me. Sure there’s bugs, but there’s popular well established games out there with bugs that have never been ironed out. Happy to give this one a chance.
