Kvark v1.0 Review - Proof games should emulate Half-life’s gameplay rhythm, not just its setting.
20Standing out in the saturated retro-inspired FPS genre is hard, though Kvark (pronounced like the English “quark”, I think) has generated some traction thanks to several Half-life comparisons. Despite appearances though, it was not the dystopian setting, sprawling research complexes, or unethical experiments that I found most similar to Valve’s classic; instead, it was the satisfying gameplay rhythm as it alternated between traversal puzzles and brutal, hand-crafted combat encounters.
