This game is making me lose my mind. I am loving every second of it.

the melee enemies in this game were designed by satan himself oh my god

Pretty enjoyable boomer shooter FPS which I felt did a pretty good job of actually reminding me of the type of gameplay you got in games like DOOM 1 and 2 and QUAKE. I also got some Serious Sam feels because the game is overall a bit more linear then DOOM and later levels have larger enemy spawns plus arena sections. Episode 1 was the most DOOM like while Episode 2 and 3 lean more Serious Sam like. You have a really large arsenal of weapons that spans the whole number row and throughout the whole game I felt I was actually using all the weapons based on certain situations and enemies. All the weapons (except minigun) had secondary attacks which was cool. And I liked that you pretty much always had ammo for everything, but still needed to manage what you use to better prepare yourself for later parts of a level. Rocket Launcher, Minigun and Super Shotgun all felt great. The standard auto weapon also had a cool overheat system and grenade launcher secondary which was fun. Rocket launcher nukes were rare, but when I got to use them they really were like screen clears which is great. The starting pistol has to reload, but it does have good power and range and the secondary spinning revolver move was good for some snipes. The melee weapon can always be activated on a cooldown by holding Q and it was extremely useful throughout the whole game and even acts as a parry to some later enemies. Enemy variety is great too, and as I said, the game makes your various weapons feel useful because some weapons felt more efficient for certain enemies. The grey guys that rush you were always my most hated, but that did make them a constant threat. The game spreads newer enemies later into the game which was cool for the variety till the end. There's a good amount of bosses too, and they all felt unique. The one I found the most troubling but also kind of interesting was one where it felt like I was in a 1 v 1 arena battle with a clone. I really had to figure out the best approach to beat it. Overall level design is relatively linear but with tons of little secrets all over the place rewarding you for looking around or trying weird jumps. I liked that the level feel between episodes was a bit different; EP1 being a bit more closed corridor while EP2 felt more open and had arena like areas. You can take the levels slow killing everything, but there is room to try speeding through levels too. I would say the game can feel a bit samey the whole way through though even with the variety, just because you're pretty much always moving forward and getting to sections with lots of enemies and then kind of strafing or peaking to get kills. Levels could feel a bit long too. Art and music was great. Gross, gory, and depressing. Love the crunchy cutscenes and how over the top they were. Music is very hardcore and slow type metal, which fit the vibes. I did also appreciate that the environments were mostly varied even with the constant red in your face. The only major issue I had was the game gets a bit laggy near the end with the big arena battles, although I was able to manage. The game uses a lives system which I think was fine and I like that exploration was rewarded by potentially finding extra lives, but dying right near the end of a level did kind of suck and the levels could be like 20-30 minutes long for me sometimes. That being said, I didn't feel too frustrated about it and the lives system was usually pretty generous. I think it was at least good for eliminating the need to constantly quick save. Basically a very solid entry in the boomer shooter genre, and I think it's best seen as a comfy ride that maybe doesn't do anything special compared to other boomer shooters but just emulates that style really well. Some of the "boomer shooters" today actually feel less like that and more closer to Doom Eternal style games, so that's kind of what I mean by it emulates the old style while (except for maybe the more maze like level design).

One of those games where i wish there was a neutral option for the reviews. Game is fun, but one of the biggest turn offs for me [b]personally[/b] is the life system. While it can offer an extra challenge, it feels like everything in the game is against you. The MC moves far too quickly, projectiles travel way too fast(thank god for that projectile speed slider) and the sensitivity on the aim is awful. On the plus side, it works on Linux without needing any extra tweaks, and you get a shotgun right at the start if you take your time exploring. Overall i'm having fun, but this game is definitely not for everyone.
