I'm thinking of picking up Death By Degrees, is it any good?
Depends if you can handle the controls. You whack right stick in the desired direction for Nina to pull of strings in that direction. You move with left stick and make evades by tapping direction and going back to neutral. For some moves like multi CQC throws you need to combine right stick with R1 L1. But you don't have to master the whole moveset, few whacking strings are enough for the opponents. Besides Nina can find and equip weapons ranging from tonfas, double katanas, to rifles and uzis etc. You can just shoot the suckers by pointing the right stick.
Other part of game is your oldschool Resident Evil style game. Most similar to Dino Crisis imo. Lots of electronic locks, key cards, finger prints. That sort of thing. Lots of going here, keycard there, code somewhere else, wtf is this puzzle, oh sniper segment! etc.
You can also buy new moves, upgrade Nina's stuff, mini rpg element, the usual.
I like this game, it has really senselessly complicated fighting controls, but makes fun use of Nina as a character that plays like a Nikita. Also I like cut scenes in this.
Finally the game introduces absolutely best version of
, totally redesigned and badass. Love her here. Bonus features after finishing a game are also cool.
But I'm warning you. It's not "modern" game, as it's cumbersome, has lots of backtracking, not much hand holding. Fighting is easy, going right way and doing right shit it's what's difficult. I was replaying this few months ago and I got lost, even if I finished it twice years ago, lol.
The grand finals though were a blast to watch.
