Toxikk review
The only discriminant of a game was to be the player’s “skill”, which for years has been the beacon to which everyone has referred.For skills, which we can effectively translate into skill, we meant a mix made up of the mastery of the control system, the knowledge of maps and weapons and the development of strategies aimed at the domination of some key resources (weapons, armor and so on). In short, the games were designed not around the player, but around the search for a balance that brought out the skills and experience.
Over the years, the online shooter focused on the skill have been gradually dying because of their greater virtue. The new players, in fact, could not easily access many games, because they were literally turned off by those who had more experience of them. It is a natural and ineluctable process, but that it clashed with the needs of the market, that the games must be able to sell them even to the poorest players, without frustrating them too much.
So over the years the design of the online shooter has refined, going in the opposite direction to the initial one: the games had to become accessible to everyone and create “holes” of skill, let’s call them like that, that is, moments when even the player stronger he can not do anything to avoid being killed.
Toxikk steam not at all practices considered incorrect in good first person shooter for pc, such as camping, have become central in some modern games, while the speed of movement has been reduced, techniques such as double-pressing the keys to perform a dodge have been almost completely abolished Considered out of reach for many players, customization systems have been added based on the growth of levels and equipment, with related imbalances, and have been added weapons and techniques that allow everyone to make some points in the game (the infamous iron sight tells you something?).
To say, we have arrived at the paradox of an Overwatch that integrates mechanics once considered cheat and in which most of the best actions of a game are linked to the use of super moves.
We reviewed Toxikk, a beautiful arena shooter probably out of peak time
Toxikk system requirements
Minimum system requirements
Minimum system requirements reflect TOXIKK version PC configuration, where the game will run stably at minimum settings, without causing noticeable discomfort.
Recommended system requirements
Recommended system requirements TOXIKK – it is a landmark of how much power is required for the disclosure of the full graphic and technological potential of the game. On the configuration specified in the recommended requirements, the game is able to run and work comfortably at maximum graphics settings.
Regardless of whether officially specified minimum and recommended system requirements, they are often underestimated. As a result, the game performance may not meet user expectations.
IT IS NO LONGER 1999
Toxikk game is the confirmation that the classic shooter arena is dead and buried in the collective imagination , that is that they can no longer rely on large numbers, but must live marginalized in a market that no longer accepts them. After all, it is a great gift made to the industry, which can exalt its undoubted quality, pointing out the limited success as an example not to follow if you want to survive.
If you reread the previous paragraph, when we were talking about online classics shooter we were also describing the title of Reakktor Studios, which we can consider a real act of love towards a gameplay now sadly anachronistic. Not for nothing the slogan of the game is “Frag like it’s 1999”, that is the year of release of the already mentioned Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 Arena.
Toxikk’s problem is that he has absolutely nothing wrong:it’s fast, it offers maps with a perfect design and obvious sources of inspiration (like all the game, for that matter): The Citadel is clearly represented on Facing World byplay unreal tournament, despite its larger size, while DEKK is Deck 16; introduces elements of gameplay such as invisibility and apparent death (actually both already seen), but harmonizes them with the rest impeccably; there are vehicles, which are a clear reminder of Unreal Tournament 2004, and so on.
Every time you start the game with the RAVEN-th, but you can pick up other weapons scattered across the map. As well, you have to periodically replenish ammo weapons, picking up a bunch of bullets.
