Vanquish

Weapons include an assault rifle, heavy machine gun, disk launcher, lock-on laser, sniper rifle, rocket launcher and LFE gun. There are also regular and EMP grenades. All weapons have a limited amount of ammo, but there are many pods where new ammo can be found or a weapon can be exchanged. A maximum of four weapons can be held at all times. Players are encouraged to hold on to weapons, as they can be upgraded, with more damage or larger storage for ammo. Stationary turrets can also be taken over. Almost all of the opposition consists of robots or mechanized organisms. Next to regular enemies, there are larger bosses with highlighted weak points that need to be targeted. Regular enemies sometimes have these too, usually on their back, and targeting those kills them quicker. During the larger fights there are sometimes minor Quick Time Events.

The game is split up into five chapters with about seven acts each, and cut-scenes further the story. Most of the missions require constant moving and dodging to stay alive. There is also a single sneak mission and a few on-rails segments with a vehicle.
