Bombshell
Bombshell is more "bomb" than anything else, with anemic shooting and lackluster exploration—when bugs aren't tossing you back to the desktop.

l, Bombshell is a remarkable drama that highlights the heroes that took down one of the most powerful people in the news industry. Unlike films like Vice, Bombshell does play it safe in terms of its storytelling. However, the film puts the spotlight on...
By nerdreactor.com onOne of the worst games to come down the PC pike in some time, Bombshell isn't a return to form for 3D Realms, but a reminder why the publisher was in so much trouble to begin with. A great idea is wasted off of horrible game design, bad graphic errors...
By gamecrate.com onBombshell is a fast-paced, energetic, deliberately absurd action shooter that's mostly competent at everything it tries to do. Stunningly crafted, downright epic environments and tight, responsive gamepad controls steal the show. But it certainly...
By in.ign.com onTo put it bluntly, Bombshell is a dud. What once began as something that had potential to become a so-stupid-it’s-awesome classic ended up being merely…well, it isn’t even really that stupid as a whole, just dull. It may have the basics for a decent old-school shooter lurking at its core, but unfortunately all of that is then covered by multiple layers of shoddily-designed gameplay consisting of failures to provide a consistent challenge, tedious enemy encounters, bland story and environments, and severely botched attempts at both humor and attitude.

By CGM onSascha Penzhorn (@GameStar_de)Ehrlich gesagt kapiere ich nicht, was die Kameraperspektive in Bombshell eigentlich bringen soll. Okay, das Teil spielt sich mit dem Controller im Prinzip wie ein Twinstick-Shooter. Ganz passabel sogar, bis auf die...
