About Phantom Forces:
This game is fantastic in what it does, and it scratches an itch for me that hasn’t been scratched in a long time. It’s temple run meets dungeon crawler. Each level, you search for treasure as the traps and bosses get progressively harder. Each run leaves you pumping with adrenaline, and I can’t tell you how many time I’ve held my breath on those really close moments. To top it all off, this game sharpens both twitch reflex and situational awareness. I felt so dull on my first few runs, and now I get to the furthest dungeons easily and consistently because of how much my senses have been sharpened. And I kid you not, because of this game, I had a skill save in real life. I parked my car in the city earlier today, and looked both ways before crossing the street. It was a one way street, so I checked the non-traffic way first (left), then the traffic way (right). There was a bit of a blind spot on the left, but I didn’t think anything of it because oncoming traffic isn’t supposed to come that way. But as I was looking straight after checking, and took my first step into the road to cross, an oncoming bicyclist going the wrong way who was not paying attention was going full speed as I stepped into the road. I saw him in my peripheral view and had almost no time to react. I leapt forward, and just as I narrowly escape the devouring rage in this game, the brim of my hat hit the bicyclist. A second later, he barely realized what happened, turned and said HEY! and kept going. Were it not for this game, I would likely be in the hospital right now instead of writing this review. 10/10.
