Brink still lives in my mind and I can't escape it even in 2022. I replayed it once again to check it out since a few commenters had said that they genuinely enjoyed this game. These guys be crazy. But maybe, just maybe...
it's not as bad as you remember.

But I still thought it was a fun game with some cool ideas, many of which have probably been done better by later games at this point. That said, the super deep character customization was a great element i haven't seen in other games of this genre.

I don't know... Brink was the first game I got on a hype train for. I assume you weren't around for all it's prerelease marketing? Not just that one cinematic trailer but lengthy discussions about gameplay decisions, what their goals were, lots of early footage... The game somehow got *less* polished over time. I'm fairly sure they pulled the Ubisoft trick of totally prerendered, simulated "gameplay" because the animation quality of those early trailers was wonderful. The objectives were even more interesting. Then the game came out, and it ran like hot garbage, and the maps were cramped to the point where a lot of the wacky class interactions just didn't apply, every map was a meat grinder. It only delivered on the concept in a hollow, very unfinished-feeling way. It *should* have been the culmination of everything Splash Damage had made thus far, instead it was pretty mid by comparison, too janky to take the crown. Then Dirty Bomb happened and it was just a much less ambitious Brink which was... disappointing.

I like to headcanon that Brink is basically a prequel to the RAGE series. They have very similar graphic styles. Both published by Bethesda Softworks. They even use some of the same audio assets. Brink are basically the folks who managed to escape the apocalypse, while RAGE is what happened to anyone who didn't make it to the ARK. The Security story in Brink even hints that the mainland is a post-apocalyptic Hellhole inhabited by cannibals and raiders.
