You know how some games come across as the victims of an overly glib elevator pitch? How you can reduce them to a description along the lines of, “It plays like Halo meets Animal Crossing,” without doing it any injustice? 5th Cell’s Hybrid isn’t one of those. I suppose you could try to explain it to someone as “Risk meets Gears of War meets Valkyria Chronicles meets Quake,” but not only does that not make any sense, it also would make you sound pretty unhinged, too.
