Isonzo - All Reload Animations in 25 Minutes (Monte Grappa Update)
16A WW1 FPS game set in Italian front from 1915 to 1917 with weapons include pistols, rifles, melee, machine guns, and other experimental weapons.
Oh man. It took me forever to make this video. Maybe I'm just so unmotivated. Probably. But keep in mind that this video is slightly outdated because it's been maybe a month until the patch just got realized. Fuck it. I can't re-record them. I have to upload even if this video is hasty. Also I lied about staring at the sky or have to recorded at Monte Grappa map. I just liked the Dolomiti and Piave map as they're both visually beautiful, in my opinion.
I'm back making this WW1 game to see if it's getting better. I say more of a big yes. Now that the update has added three maps for Germans, it makes the content more playable. The problem is most of the German maps are really badly optimized. Monte Grappa map is the worst offense on having too much trees getting in my way. Carporatto map, aside from being washed out gray, is an okay map. At least only in the town area and the top of the mountain being more playable. But the Piave map is the best one, in my opinion. It's visually appealing, moderate performance, and balanced. But if I'm in it for bloodbath chaos, I go with Carporatto map. Everything else, all developers add is more pistols and just only pistols which I'm okay with it.
So recapping my review on this state of Isonzo, the gameplay goes first. The shooting is realistically heavy being a far cry from older WW1 games being snappy arcadey shooting that having recoil and movement is a big part of this game. That is what I really like about Isonzo the most. It makes combat very tense and slow paced. Generally an improvement, for sure. Also melee combat is much more easier than both Verdun and Tannenberg as stamina last much longer, often times close quaters, and very brutal. Especially the ice pick can rip off the limbs and head!
For maps, they're very beautiful to look at... least for the base game ones being all of them have blue skies. But for German maps, I can see why Blackmill Games made their direction on snowy and rainy weather. It's not Tannenberg level of weather, but it's something. Again the newer maps have terrible optimization and only Piave worked for me, so far. Other than that, the objectives seem to fixed from my last complaint. Although the Dolomiti map for Austrian side is a lot harder than Italians now.
Class system, yeah they're good as usually being I gotten used to it. After all, it is a different game from previous WW1 games.
Finally for weapon animations, ehhh still as buggy as usually like WTF did they do to Luger pistol? I guess they'll fix it later. The base game weapons work great as usual, but German weapons are still sometimes fidgety which is probably because the devs try to give them new sound designs away from older games. The pistol animations are getting better. Revolver reloads, OMG they're so slick. Like when they added the Gasser M1870, oh yeah I can reload all day and be an Austrian cowboy. Machine gun reloads are still nice, but I'll get to the German machine gun sooner in the next paragraph. The sounds are crunchy, mostly for Italian rifles that I favor. So is the German rifles being more mechanical and crunchy, too. Austrian rifles being more mechanical sound being they're rather reused from Tannenberg.
The German machine gun, MG 08/15, is still fucking useless and the animation is even more god awful. Even more so when I tried it out. Please Blackmill Games, buff this gun's ammo size and I'm begging you! Either give it 200 ammo capacity since Verdun or spawn the ammo crates like you did in Tannenberg.
Oh I did not forget that Austro-Hungarian cannon. So you can thank me later.
So then, is this Isonzo game now worth to buy for $30 bucks? Yes. Yes it is. After 9 months of lacking content, they added many things: the German faction, new guns, custom modes, and promises on better optimization hopefully. But for cosmetics, I guess you could if you want to support them. For me, I only bought German cosmetics just to put my Steam reviews there on certain updates. I'm starting to think the developers are now listening to me. A game that is an improvement from WW1 games for pure combat and if you want to be a historian nerd, the game is for you.
Oops. Looks like my essay has limit the time stamps. Guess I'll do it in the pinned comment. Anyways enjoy this ASMR WW1 weapon reloads.
