I played Redeemer
Apr. 12th, 2025 11:40 amThe hero beats up this heavily modified combat cyborg, and it’s supposed to be this triumph of humanity. But the reason he can win is because he has unexplained durability that lets him shrug off all the times he gets shot in gameplay. There’s nothing within the narrative framework that explains how he can possibly live through this fight. It reminds me of that post about how Star Trek stacks the deck so normal humans can win against heavily modified and ostensibly “better” humans.
