While we definitely wouldn’t recommend this game for children, it is a highly provocative and cerebral game. It feels strange to use the word “enjoyable” here, but this is definitely a game worth playing, even if just for the story alone.

Suspension of disbelief aside, the action is intense and Spec Ops boasts several big set-piece sequences to take your mind off the moral consequences of your actions, such as utterly destroying a glass-enclosed radio tower with a helicopter-mounted chaingun, and terminating targets while clinging to a speeding water truck. They’re welcome, fun-filled respites from a monstrous situation that can turn even the best of men into monsters themselves.

Spec Ops: The Line may seem like a standard third-person military shooter on the surface, but once you dig a little more, you discover its dark side. War is hell, and no game has delivered that point better than The Line. The decisions you are forced to make and the outcomes they deliver are incredibly gritty and representative of the things soldiers likely deal with in battle. The mind is a powerful tool, and having never served, I have massive respect for people who have had to deal with things like this. If you are looking for an emotionally charged military shooter, Spec Ops: The Line is a must-play.

For what it's worth, Spec Ops: The Line looks good and sounds a little better than your average shooter. The shooting mechanics throw in a few changes but otherwise perform just like its contemporaries in the market. The multiplayer is more geared toward the grinder than the average player, but otherwise, it works well enough. What really helps the game to transcend is the story. Dark and unapologetic, it is the type of tale rarely seen in war games, and the gripping story will stick with you even after you've played the title multiple times to get all of the possible outcomes. As a complete package, Spec Ops: The Line is highly recommended.
