Your typical pay2lookcool - Blacklight: Retribution REVIEW

We all love free2play games, but all of them gotta have some flaws, right? Ghost Recon Online, NFS Online etc. Blacklight: Retribution is a free2play game developed by Perfect World. It stands out as one of the best F2P shooters i've played in a while, but it certainly gets on my nerves sometimes.
PRESENTATION/MULTIPLAYER
As most of the F2P games out there, B:R is a game that contains only multiplayer. It's filled with guns, attachments, equipment and some other customizations. It almost got into Steam workshop, but the devs strictly kept the imagination for themselves. As soon as you start, you can go through a short tutorial. After that you receive some items that last forever. Most of the items can be bought to last for a period of time, most of them cost a lot, and when you look at the price for permanent use of an item, you will be shocked, but it does make sense. There are absolutely zero hackers and cheaters in the game, but there are a lot of people that use the P2LookCool (AKA Pay2Win) method. It may be a little bit harder to kill pay2winners, and most of them don't really know how to play. Loads of guns to buy, loads of heroes to buy (BTW they cost a fortune). After only a few hours of playtime, i earned enough GP (the in-game currency) to buy myself a new gun for permanent use. Of course, the same thing applies for attachments, where some cost more than a high powered shotgun. Safe to say, if you wanna buy a gun, you'll need hard work, but playing Blacklight is like playing a F2P CoD, so a lot of players will get used to it. Loading times are very short.
GRAPHICS
B:R looks cool, but its optimization is weak. My PC meets the minimum system reqs, but i still cannot run the game on higher settings than the lowest. Still, the game looks badass, and i cannot complain against it.
THE VERDICT
B:R is one the best F2P shooters out there. It gets way less attention than it should. I give this F2P FPS game a 8.3/10 for its dynamic gameplay, strategy and fun. For more reviews, check out my blog. Laters.
