About this game

Metro GameCentral

"Its lack of longevity and ancillary options are an issue, but this still plays like a classic and is one of the best shooters of its generation."

PC Gamer

"A great port of an entertainingly subversive cover shooter. It's short, but the core loop never gets old."

"Vanquish is a fun, dumb game that feels good to play when you get into a zone. If you're a fan of Escape From New York or other B-grade action films, Vanquish will appeal to...

Amazing game. Over the top action that you'd expect from Platinum Studios. It's a little short, that's the only complaint.

A fast-paced fps classic. It's kinda cheesy but I loved it in my childhood and still love it now.

It’s a great game that should have had a sequel but unfortunately it was never to be. The game play is solid. It has a great story mixed action with alternate history. All around great game!

Vanquish is one of those games you can get under $10 on sale and just genuinely enjoy it. The graphics are decent despite it being an old game and combat feels quick and engaging. Reminds me of Metal Gear Rising Revengeance in a ton of ways. I got about 5 hours for a quick playthrough but there are tons more to do once you beat the main story. If you're a fan of platinum games or just looking for a high-speed action game... buy it! Quite shocked to see that this game also supports 4k resolution even with it being so old.

Short and sweet action packed Third-Person Shooter. It's up to you whether you want to idle behind covers or go and face your problems head-on with your thruster packed exosuit.
