Summary

A deeply engaging narrative set in a unique sand-dusted Dubai, Spec Ops: The Line is a terrific adventure that lacks a bit in the gameplay department. It's certainly worth a spot in your summer playlist.

We like

  • Terrific narrative
  • Excellent level design
  • Solid ally and enemy A.I.

We dislike

  • Mediocre controls
  • Cover system is hit or miss
  • Graphics feel a bit dated

Spec Ops: The Line Features

  • Community Opinion: Spec Ops: The Line is as subtle as a sandstorm, and far from a thoughtful critique

    The surreal ruins of a contemporary Dubai is reason to at least give Spec Ops: The Line a shot. An oasis of modernity and cosmopolitan civilization completely ravaged by a violent turn of sandstorms and war - it’s a captivating piece of fiction. Repelling down Dubai's glass skyscrapers in glin...
