Instead, you’re in charge of fairly four standard-issue soldier men, and you endlessly blast your way through forgettable room after forgettable room.

Unfortunately, Breach & Clear doesn’t have enjoyable gameplay to counterbalance its uber-militaristic politics. I get that war-related games have a vested interest in making the military look good, but it’s so over the top here, I feel like even CoD devotees might look at this game and say, “A little much, don’t you think?”Īs I said, though, I could probably overlook that if the game was still fun.

You’ll also have ample opportunity to reflect on how much the game glamourizes the military, with its breathless loading screen anecdotes about how amazing each country’s special services units are. God of War, Uncharted, even Reel Fishing: if I really think about what’s going on in those games, I realize they go against a lot of what I stand for…yet at the same time, I’m too busy enjoying myself to stop and think about it all, so I’m able to look past it all.īreach & Clear, by contrast, is a slow-moving tactical strategy game, which leaves plenty of time to think about the fact all the bad guys are wearing Middle Eastern garb, and about how the game almost lovingly shows them getting blown away in slow motion.

After all, as horrible as the game’s politics may be, I can think of plenty of times where amazing gameplay has trumped questionable ideology for me. I have a bit of a chicken-egg dilemma when it comes to Breach & Clear: did the fact it’s a mediocre, repetitive game make me more likely to notice that its politics are kind of appalling, or did its appalling politics make me take a dimmer view of its gameplay?
