Instead of glorifying and gamifying armed combat, Spec Ops: The Line makes a blunt statement about the horrors of war, as well as the scars war leaves on soldiers. At first glance, it resembles genre stand-outs like Call of Duty (Activision) or Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six (Ubisoft), but Spec Ops: The Line uses those familiar tropes to turn the genre on its head. Yager Development’s Spec Ops: The Line is not your average military shooter.
Spec Ops: The Line challenges players with an uncomfortable storyline that asks difficult questions about heroism.
