Bright Memory: Infinite Reviews
Bright Memory Infinite turned out to be a game that can go either way on the scale for the average player but nonetheless impressive work for what is essentially a one-man studio.
Pushing out sheer pornography with its visuals while also testing you with fast paced combat, Bright Memory: Infinite teases you like a temptress. It brings you oh so close, then leaves you wanting more.
Gunplay, swordplay, and force pulls—what more could you want in an action first-person shooter? Bright Memory: Infinite is a passion project developed by a single person, promising cinematic thrills and phenomenal visual design. While the effort is commendable, other aspects end up in suspect quality.
Bright Memory: Infinite is negatively affected by a very limited longevity and a marked underlying linearity, but the combat system and the graphic sector significantly rebalance the situation.

Bright Memory: Infinite suffers when it strays from its amazing gun and melee combat, faulting the otherwise frantic pace of the game with slower sections that feel included for the sake of adding something different.
Bright Memory: Infinite is an incredibly mixed bag. The story is nonsensical and the bosses are a bit disappointing. However, the overall gameplay is immensely satisfying, and the graphics are incredible.
Bright Memory: Infinite is a terrific shooter that delivers that high-octane sense of speed and precision fans of arena shooters love.
Bright Memory: Infinite is a fast-paced first-person shooter that gives the player a high-tech arsenal to dispatch their foes. For some, the game may be a little short but it doesn’t take away from how fun the game is. I can see a decent amount of replayability in this game. The speed, combos, and weapons will be appealing to a lot of the players. I really wonder what FYQD-Studio could have done if they had access to more resources. Bright Memory: Infinite really shows what Unreal Engine 4 can do graphically. The various weapons in your arsenal feel solid and fun to experiment with. If you are a fan of over-the-top combat and cool sci-fi environments, I would say Bright Memory: Infinite is worth a try.
Bright Memory: Infinite doesn’t overstay its welcome, but with a lengthy of only an hour and a half to see the credits, feels like it only just got started. And because of that, it still feels like a tech demo that should be something more – a criticism shared by its predecessor. It’s style over substance, but respectful of your time, and that’s hard to find. Bright Memory: Infinite is nothing short of impressive by FYQD-Studio, regardless of anything else. Bright Memory: Infinite’s ambition is never fully realized, but that doesn’t stop it from being a gorgeous, flashy, and entertaining game.
A product that looks more like a technical demo than a full and fun game.

Bright Memory: Infinite will go down as a largely impressive game held back by glaring shortfalls. The frenetic and uniquely compelling shooter/hack ‘n’ slash combat as well as the breathtakingly realistic visuals make for a worthy experience alone. Unfortunately, that narrative is told in a less than elegant way and the quick sprint to roll credits hold Infinite back from reaching its true potential.
If you have bought Bright Memory title in the past, this title is available for free and in this case I can say that it is definitely worth a one-time experience, but if you are thinking about buying this title, I recommend you to think more about it.

Bright Memory: Infinite is a fun experience, yes, but a brief and inconsistent one. The stealth segment is completely unnecessary.
A beautiful looking game with simple-yet-engaging sword and gunplay, it’s hard to think that this was made by one man. Yet Bright Memory: Infinite is proof of a passion project done right, even if it does suffer from a surprisingly short runtime, forgettable story and extremely linear progression system. Still, it’s better than this period’s AAA offerings.
Bright Memory: Infinite proves that smaller games don't always have to forego high quality visuals, but at the same time it also demonstrates that looks aren't everything.
The development of a single person has resulted in this title that mixes the unbridled action of hack and slash with first-person shooters. It is a technically stunning game whose only downside is its extremely short length.

While Bright Memory: Infinite is the best-looking game I’ve played all year, it’s not the best executed one; but as a product of a one-person team, it is an impressive feat.
Obviously, this is just the beginning of a long journey, and for the first game from a very tiny studio it's a huge success. The enthusiasts did what the players asked for. One can only guess what fate awaits the FYQD studio, but I would not be surprised if in 10 years Bright Memory becomes a huge franchise under the wing of a major publisher.
Zeng Xiancheng demonstrates what just one person is capable of. Frantic and rewarding gameplay deserved far more content.
