Hard Reset: Redux

About

Hard Reset: Redux is a fast-paced first-person shooter set in a crumbling cyberpunk world. You play as Maj. Fletcher, a soldier defending the last human city from machines trying to seize a digital sanctuary. The game leans into chaotic gunfights with a focus on run-and-gun action, destructible environments, and a wide array of weapons. Combat is aggressive and unforgiving, with enemies that swarm in waves. The story unfolds through sparse dialogue and environmental storytelling, letting the bleak, neon-drenched world speak for itself. The Redux version bundles all prior content with visual upgrades and tweaked mechanics. Community data shows players tackle 115 achievements, with most landing around 12% completion. The rarest trophy "Chinese Farmer" sits at 2% unlock rate, hinting at hidden challenges. Available on PS4, PC, and Xbox consoles, it remains a niche pick for those craving old-school shooter intensity. The campaign’s difficulty spikes often, but the satisfaction of grinding through tough sections keeps many coming back.

Storyline

The world as we know it ceased to exist. Humanity is at the verge of extinction, living in the last closed city of Bezoar. Mankind wages war against the machines controlling vast areas of what became the 'Barrens'. Machines want to control and assimilate 'The Sanctuary' a network that holds billions of digitalized human minds. Our hero, Maj. Fletcher, is a soldier of CLN - a corporation combat unit, established to protect the city. Machines are constantly assaulting the walls of Bezoar. Fletcher moves in when Bezoar's protective barrier is breached.
