Agents Of Mayhem

Super-spy shooter switches up single-player blasting.

- 

Dying to play a generic, grizzled army dude with a semi-automatic rifle and a dark past? Fill your boots: there are plenty of them shuffling about in PS4’s shooters. But if you fancy piloting a different sort of bullet-sponge – say, a roller derby player with a minigun and anger issues – then Volition’s new third-person shooter has you covered.

In our latest hands-on, we’re skating an extremely hungover Piper Andrews (codename Daisy) around the acid-bright, open-world city of Seoul. Our mission? To find out what in the whole hell we got up to last night. Mercifully, there’s no tiger in the bathtub, but the busted-up car outside suggests drunken Daisy wasn’t exactly peaches and cream. Indeed, the magical mystery tour of last night’s sins includes flashbacks to a very physical argument with a squid-shaped fast food dispenser and our girl going a few rounds in an underground robot fight club. Oops. We wish we were anyone else right now.
