In Bright Memory: Infinite, a brief campaign doesn't keep the game from providing some above-average shooter excitement.

In the end, Bright Memory: Infinite feels like an advert for a much larger, much more ambitious game and the price tag (around $15 or so), reflects that. Bright Memory: Infinite both absolutely looks and plays the part of a furiously assured shooter with resoundingly empowering combat, it's just a shame that the relatively emaciated amount of content that surrounds its otherwise excellent core makes Bright Memory: Infinite feel much more like a taster for something more ambitious to come rather than anything else.

Still, with its impressive visuals and non-stop action, Bright Memory: Infinite is worth a look for those who value thrills over playing time. Beyond multiple difficulty levels there’s not much reason to spend more time it, and that’s a real shame as we’d love to get into more scrapes as the capable Shelia, despite her awful name.

While the length may be an issue, there is a flip side to it. Just as I was starting to tire of the guns and sword combo fest, it was over. It wasn't long enough for me to get tired of its main selling points: the top-tier graphics and the chaotic combat. The visuals are stunning, granted, but the game takes place more or less across very similar environments, except for the gunfight on the wing of an airplane hurtling toward a black hole - Neil DeGrasse Tyson would pull that scene apart in a second. If the game ran...

Bright Memory: Infinite is a short but fun big dumb action game. It doesn’t have much if anything in the way of replayability, but it feels pretty good, looks great, and as long as the price isn’t too bad it’s worth checking out. Not only for the solid, overpowered feeling action, but it’s one hell of a weird-assed ride that I was glad to experience.

Bright Memory: Infinite, from developer FYQD Studio, is a fast-paced action shooter that looks to combine compelling gameplay with top notch visuals. The results are stunning to say the least, but does the sum of its parts make a good game? Find out in our Bright Memory: Infinite review below.
Read Full ReviewAll in all, what's here in Bright Memory Infinite is impressive, and the shooting feels super smooth throughout. However, even though the first Bright Memory was classed as a demo-of-sorts, Infinite still feels like an Xbox Series X|S tech demo, all things considered. It's still incredibly short at just two hours long, and the game's story, systems and world need more work for it to feel like a full game. We dig what's here, no doubt, but we were hoping Bright Memory Infinite would feel more like a full game than it ultimately does.

Bright Memory: Infinite started its life as an Early Access release by the name of Bright Memory on the PC before making its way to the Xbox Series X|S as a console launch title. Made impressively by a solo Chinese developer by the name of Zeng “FYQD” Xiancheng, Bright Memory was praised for its incredible graphical fidelity and smooth FPS/action gameplay whilst being criticised for its short length and nonsensical storytelling. Released now as an expanded and complete product, Bright Mem...

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.

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.

Bright Memory Infinite brings the ideas of its predecessor to a much more satisfying conclusion and comes within striking distance of many of the games it’s inspired by.

Taking just over three hours to beat, it’s a fun distraction that ultimately doesn’t leave a lasting impression. If you’re looking for an action-packed shooter with lots of enemies to mow down in attractive environments, then it’s worthy of your time. If not, then there isn’t much more to dig into. Bright Memory: Infinite is available starting today for $19.99 on PC with releases on first Xbox Series X | S and then PlayStation 5 scheduled for the future.

Bright Memory Infinite caught many an eye when its next-gen trailer was aired at an Xbox event heralding the release of the Xbox Series S & X late into 2020. While it didn’t make the launch of the Xbox Series in November, players could dip their toes into its prequel (of sorts), Bright Memory.

Bright Memory: Infinite feels like an interactive cheesy sci-fi action movie, for better or worse. It boasts incredible – and wonderfully improbable – action sequences propelled by a story that barely qualifies as narrative. Infinite even has a run time that is comparable to some films. Unfortunately, Bright Memory: Infinite burns out before it fades away, peaking early and showing great promise before concluding sooner than expected.

Bright Memory Infinite is still at best a visual tech demo. It's lack of quality of life updates and extremely short play time still makes me wonder if this was the full game to begin with. Still, the gun blasting and blade swinging action is bombastically fun. After all, this game was developed by one person alone. So kudos to Zeng Xian Cheng.

Swordfighting and shooting cutting-edge guns isn’t a common combination in FPS games. However, an alluring concept and jaw-dropping visuals are still not enough to recommend Bright Memory: Infinite, even to die-hard fans of Crysis and Shadow Warrior.

Buoyed by beautiful visuals, great performance, and entertaining exposition, Bright Memory: Infinite still feels like a small part of a complete game.

Bright Memory: Infinite is finally here with the follow up to the Early Access version simply called Bright Memory, which I did review when it launched for Xbox Series X|S. It was an interesting release because it really should have just been a free demo for Infinite’s eventual release, but I enjoyed what was there. Bright Memory and Infinite were both made by a single person studio, named FYQD-Studio, and I will admit that it is impressive what he has created. However, we were promise...

Bright Memory: Infinite looks great, and the combat is fun. Everything else, like its platforming and story, fails to captivate and leads to an overall poor experience.

Bright Memory Infinite's tight gunplay is simply spread too thin to make up for an otherwise uninspired experience.
