The only misnomer in this regard is the stealth, as the level design seem to be more geared towards open combat, meaning it's not long before enemies spot you even as you attempt to approach them covertly. Feeling blueĥ things you should know about Rogue Trooper Redux These are understandable flaws for a decade-old title, but less forgivable for a remaster being re-sold 11 years later. Rogue Trooper was considered something of a revolutionary for its unique cover mechanics in 2006, which at that point were almost unheard of in shooter games, but this remaster reminds us that being one of the first cover shooters doesn't necessarily make you one of the best. Getting in and out of cover also bears a same degree of finickiness, unintentionally making it much safer and more viable to run and gun in heated firefights, so as to avoid getting into sticky situations where the game's cover controls work against you.

The act of chucking a grenade or switching weapons - a smooth, almost instinctive processes that we take for granted in modern shooters - are incredibly fiddly here, impeding the flow of the combat and often leading to fail states that weren't necessarily the fault of the player. Rebellion has attempted to significantly tweak Rogue Trooper's controls and mechanics since its 2006 debut, but the new changes can't quite cover up the rigid senility of the game's sixth-generation design.
