We Love It's Guide to…

Dark Sector

You play as Hayden Tenno, a covert operative sent to Lasria, an Eastern European city hiding a Cold War bio-weapon. After the Technocyte Virus infects him, he must confront the infected and other forces behind the outbreak. Combat combines over-the-shoulder shooting and cover with Hayden’s bladed glaive, which he can throw at enemies and guide in flight. The glaive can also be charged with fire, electricity, or ice to affect enemies and interact with the environment. As the campaign progresses, Hayden gains additional abilities, including a shield and invisibility. You can collect and purchase firearms, install weapon upgrades, and use the glaive to solve environmental puzzles; encounters also include bosses and occasional vehicle sections.

As covert operative Hayden Tenno, fight through virus-ravaged Lasria with cover shooting, evolving powers, and a throwable glaive.
