"For someone who enjoys FPS’s, and has never played Hard Reset, then I recommend picking up this game without question. For the $20 asking price you get a solid single player experience, and you’ll get to experience another great shooter."
On Episode 157, the Gamers In Beta crew opens the show with some non-gaming talk. They discuss some of their guilty pleasures and heroes. Once the gaming discussion kicks in gear, they talk about the Steam Summer sale, the availability of the XB1 S models, and Oculus dropping their previous DRM stance.
Games they’ve been playing are: The Division, DOOM, Hard Reset Redux, Marvel Heroes 2016, The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, Overwatch, Mario Tennis, and Portal 2.

Hard Reset is a 2016 rerelease of a 2011 game in the works since 2009 that
was dedicated to reviving the FPS gameplay stylings popular in 1993. Much
like the title of the game itself, the newly released console edition is a
"hard reset" of the genre, giving people who miss the days of Quake and
Wolfenstein 3D exactly what they ask for. Does it hold up to modern gaming
archetypes, or should this style of gameplay be left in history where it
belongs? Ryan Johnson at The Gamer's Lounge investigates.
