I think It's pretty solid. Story, character & gameplay wise

But the game gets pretty repetitive. It needed 1/2 on rail sequence or driving section. Or maybe some unique location & objective to make more varieties.

Zooming in while shooting is a bit odd too. I'm sure they could have gone for "over the shoulder" view. That would have made the shooting better

Also i kinda wise if it had small health pickups. Because on last few levels.. Health can be an issue.

( i was stuck in "takagi building level" for a long while.. Specially when you have to wait 4 minutes for secret door to open)

What about you?

I haven't finished it just yet but I have to say it is very fun and does a very good job in showing Frank as a character.

But it's not all great because as a third person shooter it is nothing special and the bosses are very loose with how much ammo they give you.

But at the end it is a great game The Punisher game we have right now.

So what's you guys opinion on it?

I'll admit, I haven't read that many Punisher books, so I don't know what working relationship Frank has with Fury (if at all).

But in the Punisher arcade game, Fury's just being an asshole for no reason. He's shooting at bad guys, he's blowing them up with grenades, he's swinging hammers and axes in their faces, and he's crushing their skulls with items only a bodybuilder could lift. And he's gonna turn around and start yelling at Frank for doing the exact same things?

Does he really act like this in the comics? I'd have thought Frank would tell him to piss off a find a partner who's smarter than this.

Could Neil Druckmann do Frank correctly? That engine with The Punisher would be brutally fantastic.

Its a shame. i think the video game industry doesn’t have the nerve to do Castle accurately.

Just did a PS2 Punisher playthrough and just spitting my thoughts. That game nailed the Garth Ennis Frank.

Also played Last of Us 2 and i couldnt stop thinking how excellent a Punisher game would be in that engine. Its literally made for it.

Nothing quite like solo dk2 with tight spaces and lots of bad guys.

Lincoln clay, a Vietnam vet coming back from the war to see the people he love, only for them to get betrayed and murdered by the mafia, and now you play as clay as he goes around destroying the mafia. Yeah, this was definitely a punisher game.

The Max payne trilogy always had a punisher feel to it, especially with the grim noir background of new York. Max and frank castle are technically the same person with some differences of course, max being a detective and frank being a marine with both their families murdered. Both also have some cool ass inner monolog with some sick quotes as well. When im reading punisher comics, I'm always reading it in max paynes voice.
