What is Binary Domain?

Binary Domain is a 2012 third-person shooter video game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It takes place in Tokyo during the year 2080, where robots have become sentient and managed to infiltrate human society. The player controls Dan Marshall, an American special forces operative dispatched as part of an international military unit called 'Rust Crew' on a mission to capture a rogue robot hiding in the city.

The story follows Rust Crew as they fight through hordes of armed robotic enemies to find their target. Along the way, they must determine which side various human survivors have taken. The plot explores themes of transhumanism, prejudice, and the ethics of creating artificial intelligence. Gameplay is focused around third-person shooting while navigating around the ruins of Tokyo and underground robot production plants.

Binary Domain received fairly positive reviews, with critics praising its voice command mechanic that allows players to issue orders to their A.I. squad mates. It was also commended for its combat and boss fights. Common criticisms included generic level design and a story that doesn't fully deliver on its premise and themes. While not a major commercial success, Binary Domain has built a cult following over the years.
