Mostly good, until the first boss

I had a lot of fun playing the first levels. Shooting and movement feels good, the weapons have a good sound and feel "physical". Weapon behaviour is a bit same-y, the only difference between the weapons seems to be power and reload time, except for the wand (which lets you kill several enemies in a row) or the dynamite (which has an area-of-effect and can easily kill hard enemies). I like the kind of secrets that I have encountered so far, where you have to keep an eye out for irregularities. You are rewarded for being perceptive instead of being forced to try to press the use key on every damn wall, like in other games. Then came the first boss... At first I thought, that I was doing something wrong, but it seems that there is no special trick. You just have to shoot its HP down, while dodging and killing random spawning mooks. The boss's attacks seem irregular and random, with no apparent pattern which attack is fired when. The last phase of the boss is just a floating torso, which hunts you down with melee attacks, with no possibility to dodge or avoid them. If you don't have enough HP or damage to quickly rid of the boss, you are toast. And then your lives are used up. No continues. No save game. You have to start from the beginning. The game was fun, but not that much fun, that I would play the same thing over and over again, just to be stuck with the boss once more. I am also questioning the decision to include lives as a mechanic at all. I didn't lose a life until the boss. The game was fun, not awfully challenging. Then I played the boss for the first time and was instantly killed by its first attack. All the games that were the inspiration for Project Warlock don't have lives, but Save/Load mechanics instead. Lives would maybe make sense in a kind of Rogue-Lite gameplay, but this is not this kind of game. You lose all your weapons and progress, so there is no point. I'd like to love this game, but it doesn't let me.

Quite after 2 minutes, here's why....

The developers unfortunatly commited one of the worst crimes in my opinion when it comes to PC Shooters. Not having true free look. By that I mean that the crosshair moves at the speed and precision of your regular mouse movements. This game does not. This game has that awful "dragging the crosshair through mud" feeling, which, in my book, makes a fastpaced shooter unplayable.

Stuck between frustrating and fun.

This game simply has too many technical issues going on, it doesn't look authentic to the games it's trying to ape most of the time and injects costly post processing that barely makes a difference visually but very much bogs down performance. Technical issues like the resolution resetting on zone change have been left unfixed for half a year with no end in sight. The gameplay itself isn't so bad, you fight enemies and find keys to find your way to the final door of the level, collecting experience along the way that makes you level up. The point gained here allow you to unlock magic abilities that barely matter and upgrade weapons that do matter. The sound design for most enemies and weapons is decent. The music comes off as distinctly amateurish. Overall it just can compare to the myriad of other retro revival shooters out right now. You're probably way better off playing brutal doom.

Simply excellent.

Without a doubt, Project Warlock is one of the best games I've ever played. The action is fast and silky smooth. The numerous weapons are all distinct and satisfying to use. The enemies, of which there is a great variety, are all quite satisfying to fight, and none inspire any feelings of annoyance to encounter. Each of the game's episodes presents distinct visuals, and could have been spun off into an entire game on their own. The soundtrack is lively yet non-intrusive. The aesthetics of the game are an effective call back to old school gaming while being quite visually appealing in their own right. Even the RPG elements, which I was quite hesitant on are well incorporated, you never really sit at a point where you're able to overwhelm your enemies just by having the bigger numbers; the difficulty ramps up quite appropriately to prevent that. My only complaint is that it sometimes likes to lag a bit when the visual effects get a bit too busy. If you like old school shooters, buy this game.

Brillaint old school FPS

If your looking for that old style Doom fps carnage, where you jiust mow down constant waves of mobs with better and better weapons the more you progress this title is for you. The level designs are brillaint with plenty of secrets to keep you searchong for extra goodies if you so desire. And the sound track is superb, a proper good throwback to games of old. The only downside I have with the games is the performance issue's. There can be levels where you will get constant frame drops sometimes into the 30's, and for no reason other than this title needing some optimisation. Apart from this issue I had a blast with this title.
