We analyze the difficult Faraday protocol

Many games have recently hit the market for our Xbox One and Xbox Series S consoles | X, especially in this busy November. Yet among the giants, sometimes games resurface that go unnoticed and worth a try. Today we will discuss the new and difficult Faraday Protocol, a bet from the team of Deck 13 interactive for a unique and different experience.

Run, jump, shoot and think. Above all, think about it.

Faraday Protocol It stands out for its advertising as a puzzle-solving game but with a great commitment to the environment and the history that surrounds it. We put ourselves at the feet of a human astronaut who has reached an unknown place, where we will find ruins and we will have to act as a space archaeologist. Among these ruins, temples and constructions, we will have to face hard riddles in the first person.

The game immediately throws us into the first abandoned facility we come across. We have a small open space where we can test the controls and get used to it. Mobility is somewhat rough, especially the camera movements, although we won’t need such precise controls later on, because as we progress towards the first challenge we will find ourselves in spaces and levels firm. Even so, the controls, especially in open spaces, They leave a lot to be desired, they don’t take advantage of the variety of Xbox One and Xbox Series controllers as they should, and they have shortcomings. Especially the sensitivity or the speed of the camera when running. Also the collision with objects.

Luckily, these things are quickly forgotten, as we will have to focus on solving challenges and games that will test our ability to think logically. And really, the rest of it goes almost unnoticed. We will have to learn to use the different types of “energy»Who spawn in abandoned burial mounds and chambers, and control them to open or close mechanisms.

Welcome to this forgotten archaeological paradise!

Never judge a book by its cover, let alone if that book is set in an abandoned archaeological facility in the middle of deep space. Faraday Protocol has environments and areas that Pleasantly surprised. Both at the start of the game, and during the old dungeons in which we will do archeology.

Highlights the egyptian frame in many areas of the installation, as we have seen in the previous images. Also, key game objects, such as totems, mechanisms, doors and hatches, items, platforms, etc. they are all located in the ancient cultures that once populated the land. On our Xbox One consoles, the game runs very smoothly with some slight issues with to burst In textures. On the other hand, on Xbox Series X the game takes place without any complications.

Faraday Protocol’s (absent) music

Faraday Protocol no shines especially for his music. The game suffers from the lack of soundtrack original which gives it personality, and instead chooses to use adaptive music fairly generic to accompany you during levels like the first one. In dungeons and during challenges, this music practically disappears. The sound effects are however successful and perfectly accompany our utensils, levels and challenges. Sometimes they almost remind us Zelda: Breath of the WildBoth for the original and fun challenges and for the music that accompanies them: whether to solve a puzzle or find a hidden room.

However, in this regard, it is not enough to save the game of the pass sufficiently in terms of hearing.

Conclusion

Faraday Protocol puts on the table an interesting proposal and with a lot potential, both historically and in terms of playability. However, only the last one explodes, even if it is doing quite well. The designs and structure of the puzzles They have been designed and thought out in detail and this is something that is noticeable at the time of Game. We have challenging opportunities and missions, puzzles and mechanics that will make us consider everything we have learned in the game. Faraday Protocol take the test, although there are many aspects to tweak and fine tune.

And for you, did this game catch your attention? Do you want to explore these intrinsic installations and do some space archeology? So, let’s get to work, and don’t forget to take a look at the rest of our news.
