You begin with a finite amount of ammunition, health packs and EVE hypos, but each splicer kill nets you cash to spend on replenishing your supplies at vending machines. That makes the job of protecting your Little Sister and keeping yourself healthy and fully loaded a balancing act where you’re constantly trying to find an opening long enough to leave your Little Sister unprotected and restock.

What some may find distracting is the HUD. The entire screen is bordered in black with either blue or red accents (depending of which team you’re on), and there is what I can best describe as almost a faint honeycomb pattern on the left and right peripherals. Add to that three bars on the lower left (health, sprint, HRV), two on the right (current clip, remaining ammo) and one on the bottom (experience) and it becomes an overly crowded affair.
