Line of Sight Review

Line of Sight is a multiplayer FPS game, developed and published by indie studio, BlackSpot Entertainment. If you could somewhat characterize this game is that it’s a mixture of Bioshock and Call of Duty, as the studio points out. Even if you don’t have CoD’s spotless shooting action or all those flashy powers Bioshock had, Line of Sight is a cool concept that’s actually decently represented.

Truth be told there’s a ton of FPS multiplayer games out there, however almost all of them have no comparison from one to another. Where Line of Sight differates itself is the existence of psyonic powers that allow you to teleport, create fires with your mind and shoot magic missiles. Make use of the tutorial to learn the ropes, since it also offers a reward by the end of it.

Customization is a key feature in Line of Sight is a huge part of the game. Visually, the character and weapon customization tab is heavily influenced by Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, having the same layout and letting you use many different weapon customizable parts such as sniper scoped even to pistols. There are more than 40 weapons and more than 1.5 million customization options as the company points out, meaning that there’s zero to none chance that your loadout will be the same as anyone others’.

The Combat Mastery tab is another feature that’s essential to the gameplay, letting you choose traits you want to have during battles just like The Division. There are 3 categories, Equipment, Strategy and Reinforcement which you can enhance to turn the tide of battle. Does this have huge impact in-game though? No, but it’s nice knowing that it’s there.

In-game, Line of Sight feels like a classic FPS game with 20 different maps with both day and night options which bring more variety, if you are giving a serious amount of time to the game. If you can play past the ragdoll mechanics and the extensive amount of blood thrown on screen then its gameplay is pretty decent.

Microtransations play a huge role in Live of Sight, however it’s not considered Pay-to-Win. Players can rent weapons and use their cool customization parts to make them even more powerful but there are no uber-powerful weapons to be bought with money.

Overall, Line of Sight is a mixture of elements in other top tier video games. In theory this might sound like a poor concept but in practice, it works. Interestingly, Line of Sight is a fun-to-play title but with no future of being something outerly huge.
