It’s a port with some problems, but by no means the worst I’ve ever encountered (that’d probably still be Rise of the Argonauts).īinary Domain is a third-person cover shooter which realises that a key to retaining player interest is by introducing enemies that are satisfying to destroy. The game still won’t play nicely with my monitor’s maximum display resolution, so there are sizeable black lines above and below the play area. It’s obvious from this exchange that people are having pretty varied experiences.Ī patch for the game has added field of view options, pseudo mouse control in menus (it doesn’t use a pointer, so it’s kind of rubbish) and improved mouse sensitivity options.

Conversely, after trying out the demo, fellow IncGamers writer Tim McDonald expressed amazement that I’d been able to cope with the controls. Aiming certainly wasn’t as precise as it is in, say, Counter-Strike or something, but it also didn’t prevent me getting the ‘50 headshots’ achievement with relative ease (and no, I didn’t have auto-aim turned up). The functionality of the keyboard and mouse controls are a more subjective topic, and things become murkier due to different expectations and differing equipment. Yes, it’s a bit annoying that these things aren’t accessible through the in-game options, but taking the two minutes necessary to get things set up to my liking didn’t feel too troublesome. In it, you’ll find all the graphics tweaks and resolution options, as well as ways to redefine the keys (crucial, as the defaults seem to have been written for someone with very flexible hands), fiddle with mouse sensitivity and change the in-game prompts from a 360 gamepad to keyboard. To get Binary Domain atuned to your PC you’ll need to use the external configuration tool that Steam offers you each time you launch the game. The main points of contention seem to be over the keyboard and mouse controls, lack of mouse control in menus, poor field of view, resolution issues and a distinct lack of options in the game itself.

Glance at the Steam forums for the game and you’ll find ongoing wars between the people who want to throw Sega in a ditch because it’s the worst port ever and those who seem relatively satisfied. Binary Domain’s PC port is proving to be quite divisive.
