This game breaks you from all sides and not only because of its story but also because of all the raw images it gives you in a short period of time, just a few hours are enough to make an impression on the player and leave a mark
It is one of those games that you have to replay over and over again to understand everything that is happening and to truly appreciate all the great moments it has, and also take some screenshots of its collapsed landscapes
In this Dubai in ruins and with an apparent war of factions in the heart of its city is where we embark with Captain Walker to see what is happening
But everything quickly begins to take a sinister turn in which we are also involved in all the pain and the carnage that is being experienced
Honestly I had never paid too much attention to the landscapes of this game, perhaps because it is not the central focus but I have taken some beautiful screenshots and several of its concepts seem great to me today
From the sand dunes that we find at the beginning along with all the corpses all the way to the center and bottom of the city that has survived by pure chance
There is a nice contrast between all the levels left by the mere sandstorm that has hit Dubai and I think this just makes some photos look darker than others
Keep in mind that I am not a photographer, just not yet a video game enthusiast who has taken the time to take some good photos of one of those favorite video games
Do I recommend Spec Ops The Line?
If you want a shooter experience that is different from anything you've ever played, I think this video game will give you that. It doesn't innovate too much in terms of gameplay and at times it seems a bit rough, but it does stand out for its incredible moments in terms of the story.
The script, the dialogues and also the characters have a lot to do with it, along with the atmosphere, making this traumatic story as realistic as possible to what war is like in the real world.
The delirium that the protagonists go through and seeing how they fight against all the chaos around them seems to me to be the most entertaining and the most uncomfortable thing to see. Just think that you're going to see a lot of painful images.
All of this with the city destroyed in the background. During the game we go into hotels, casinos and safe houses where everything contributes to giving us that feeling that something that we don't quite understand is happening on a large scale.
What should I call this city now? "Sandy Dubai" 😂
