Agent 64: Spies Never Die review
PC; Replicant D6 This GoldenEye 007-styled retro shooter is an agreeable set of straightahead shooting missions that hark back to a simpler time, with simpler controls
TL;DR
- Agent 64: Spies Never Die is a retro shooter paying homage to GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark.
- It features blocky graphics, enemies with 'pinched' facial features, and a Big Head mode.
- The game retains some of the N64-era control scheme's quirks, particularly with modern input devices.
- Auto-aim is generous, encouraging a fast-paced 'run and gun' playstyle.
- Split-screen deathmatch multiplayer is highlighted as a key feature, offering nostalgic fun.
- Story mode missions are short (under five minutes) and challenging, with a focus on 'par times' and collectibles.
- The game's appeal lies in evoking nostalgia for playing classic games in the late 90s.
