Nostalgia Without A Lazy Approach
I really liked how Project Warlock was able to keep things old school while making things fun as well. It really brings you back to those DOOM days and even Hexen despite my time with the latter being very short. I played it on normal, (I thing, I can't remember despite finishing it recently.) But even then it was challenging enough. Gameplay was all about the reaction because the controls are very basic, it relies mainly the typical 'strafe and shoot like a madman' style of play which made it kind of fun. There's moments where it can get crazy though and you're just firing all over the place. The upgrade system was a bit average though and I found myself very rarely using any of the Warlocks magic until I unlocked the skill to regenerate ammo. There a level that was pitch black and required you to use your light skill which was kind of nice but otherwise after that, no other skills are used or required apart from the ammo 1. It was a fairly balanced game. I had a lot of lives but was still running out of ammo and mana so I had to vary my weapon choice a lot. The music was freaking awesome, definitely gonna listen to the soundtrack in my free time. Sound effects were really good. Old school but they sounded impactful and enemy sounds were varied. The visuals were great, some of it gets a bit repetitive and re-used both for enemies & levels, but otherwise it looked good. Pixel graphics without the lazy approach. It performed really well on my 2700x and 980ti as you'd expect it to, but towards the end at the final boss it had a few hiccups and massive fram dips/freezes. Overall I had a lot of fun playing Project Warlock. I'd recommend it if you're looking for some good nostalgia without having to deal with the frustrations that came with some of the old school games. At <$20AU and up to 8hrs of playtime, it's pretty good value too.
