Bright Memory: Infiniteis a frenetic sci-fi action title that combines anti-gravity melee with ballistic firepower and athletic movement. It wouldn’t be inaccurate to describe its combat akin to “first-personDevil May Cry.” PerhapsInfinite‘s most impressive element lies with its meager workforce, with almost the entirety of the game’s design, art, and coding performed by a single developer, FYQD’s Zeng Xiancheng.

Promising hi-octane action, a twisting storyline, exciting vehicular mayhem, and stunning next-gen visuals,Bright Memory: Infiniteremainsone of my most anticipated releasesof the coming year. Having gotten a taste of the action through its (admittedly brief) paid-demo, I’m very much on tenterhooks to check out the final release.
