[Ad Disclaimer] This is a sponsored post, but I play everything before I agree to anything and publishers don’t control what I say. Basically, if I like the game I’ll make a video about it. Enjoy.
This game looks like it was booted up on a computer from 1990. And it might be the smartest spy thriller I’ve played all year.
Burn-9 puts you in the chair — not the field. You’re the Operator, running a black-ops mission gone horribly wrong, guiding the last surviving agent, Dodo, through a base in Antarctica that’s hiding something nobody wants found.
No aiming. No cover system. No inventory to manage. Every choice happens through comms, intel, and conversation — Metal Gear’s DNA, filtered through a terminal screen that feels closer to a text adventure than a stealth game. And somehow that makes it hit harder.
You’ve got a chain of command that wants results and an agent who just wants to survive, and you’re the only one who knows what both sides are hiding from each other.
The demo’s live right now. If you’ve ever wanted to play the handler instead of the hero, wishlist this.
