Introduction

In the world of video games, sometimes you come across a game that seems like it was made by one ambitious human in his parents' basement. Enter *Bright Memory: Infinite*, a first-person shooter that’s like if *Devil May Cry* and *Call of Duty* had a weird mash-up after an awkward blind date. The price of admission? A couple of fingers on your controller and maybe a brief spell of existential dread when you wonder how something this pretty came from a solo developer.

Gameplay

So, the gameplay of *Bright Memory: Infinite* is what you’d expect from a first-person shooter, which is to say you’ll be shooting, slashing, and teleporting your way through enemies like a caffeinated ninja. You play as Shelia, a superhero in a world where the main villain wants to resurrect the dead for reasons that are never fully explained. It's a bit like a family reunion: there's lots of chaos and misplaced goals. You can mix bullets with swords, fire energy blasts, and even manipulate time, which is useful because when the game gets tough, you’ll want to rewind your last few poor decisions. There are plenty of upgrades and skill trees, allowing you to tailor Shelia to your liking, which is a bit like customizing your burrito: do you want extra spicy or are you more of a ‘mild salsa as a primary food group’ kind of person? The game's levels can get puzzly too because, of course, fighting endlessly and mindlessly wouldn’t be fun without the occasional brain teaser to remind you that math does exist. But don't worry — these puzzles are about as hard as remembering your Netflix password.

Graphics

Graphical fidelity is where *Bright Memory: Infinite* sets itself apart, shining like a diamond in a pile of semi-precious stones. The environments are stunningly rendered, showcasing a vibrant world that balances its anime flair with cutting-edge visuals. And then there’s the narrative quota, which, instead of delving deeply into character development, opts to bombard you with inconsistent lore and epic set pieces while Shelia occasionally transforms into a supernatural samurai. You can't help but admire the visuals while simultaneously questioning what dimension you just hopped into. The graphics are so good, they could probably pass off as a fancy animated movie — if only the character models didn’t have weirdly high cheekbones.

Conclusion

In conclusion, *Bright Memory: Infinite* is like that kid in school who aces art class but struggles a bit in English and Math. The graphics are stunning, the gameplay is flashy and fun, but the story feels like it was written in a rush during lunch break. It has certainly carved out a space for itself as a visually impressive, action-packed experience. If you're looking for something to keep your fingers busy while you ponder the meaning of life (or at least how to defeat that pesky boss), then give it a go. But just remember, it is a ride — just maybe not a very deep one. So, load up your gumption and prepare for some wild combat — just don’t expect Shakespeare. Score: 6 out of 10 — not terrible but could improve with some time spent in the 'English' class.
