  Gene Rain is certainly one of my new “worst of” for this console generation. The plot is nonsensical, the gameplay alters between generic and terrible, the game is way more difficult than it needs to be, nothing about it really feels like it works competently, and more issues than I could ever possibly list in a single closing paragraph. All I can really do is suggest avoiding this game. I have nothing nice to say.

  If this was maybe a 10 dollar game, I would say bad game fans could find some fun out of Mystery Science Theater 3000’ing it, but no way should anyone spend as much as they’re asking for it now. It’s confusing, boring, frustrating, and not worth your time and money.

  It's difficult to recommend Gene Rain to anyone. The story makes no sense, and the game does a good job of maintaining that sense of confusion. The gameplay has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and the presentation would be laughable even during the prior console generation. Not even Trophy hunters would be attracted to this title because the grind to obtain them is unbearable. Stay as far away as possible from Gene Rain.

  I’m not going to write an essay on why you shouldn’t entertain Gene Rain as I’ve already wasted enough time playing it; all you need to know is that it’s bad. Perhaps not as bad as last year’s Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle or 2015’s Yasai Ninja, but still bad. If you want to play a third-person cover shooter, stick to the Gears of War series on Xbox or the Uncharted series on PS4 for now. All of their entries are cheaper than Gene Rain, and they all offer many times more fun.

  Gene Rain was a shocking experience. Even though the game never crashed nor presented any game-breaking glitches, I was astonished with its overall lack of polish: its terrible visuals, schizophrenic framerate, bad controls and overall generic gameplay. I did enjoy its voice acting and amateurish translation mistakes in a “so-terrible-it’s-awesome” kind of way, however. At the end of the day, this is a game that should be ignored by 99% of players out there. The other 1% is obviously comprised of people who have fun playing laughably bad games for kicks, just like yours truly.

  Gene Rain is a complete waste of storage space. The game’s nonsensical and incoherent story confusingly bounces around like flubber in a basketball court. It doesn’t help that the voice acting is the worst I’ve heard since the original Resident Evil. Grouping that with the game’s sluggish controls, its bland locations and its lack of originality, collectively makes for one of the worst cover-shooters this gen.
