Story Synopsis:
Shadow Complex propels lost hiker Jason Fleming into the hollows of government conspiracy, dark political motives, and military upheaval. When Jason and his girlfriend Claire accidentally stumble upon a rogue paramilitary group called The Restoration, it soon becomes clear that the faction’s intent is to set in motion a chain of events that will cause America to collapse into a new civil war. Along the way, Jason acquires many high-tech “toys” The Restoration is developing, and eventually becomes a super-powered engine of destruction.

Not a very special metroidvania beyond the nostalgia. Passable exploration and atmosphere that might be inspired by the early MGS game, but also 100 percent dumber writing. Exploration for goodies isn't that rewarding. You can increase your grenade carry limit so much before you hit a point where its difficult to run out pf them between save points, and then your grenade carry limit doesn't matter anymore. There is a little bit of stealth. Not a lot, but this is rare in a metroidvania game, so its good. Unfortunately the game has the worst bosses I have ever encountered. Many of them feel very lazy. Some of them feel like puzzles---but not particularly rewarding ones, like the Axiom Verge bosses. They're just very, very simple and don't feel like bosses at all. It's fun though. Get it on sale if you're a fan of the genre
