Shoot the kneecaps!

Ahhh Soldier of Fortune. I do remember it fondly. It was quite the pricey game when it came out, I remember it retailing for about 120 then-Guilders while most games were 99 tops. And yes, the engine was great, the first level in which you get to the subway and start shooting and see those enemies respond to where you shot them is fantastic. But then, mediocrity kicks in, and every level is more of the same. The surroundings change, I remember going to the desert at some point, but the gameplay remains the exact same (except that the enemies just take a hell of a lot longer to kill with no apparent reason other than the level) and well, even shooting kneecaps gets stale after a while. Then the biggest anticlimax of all, you don't even get to kill the endboss. The ENDING CINEMATIC kills the endboss. Online play was a blast though, that's definitely worth mentioning. Awesome deathmatch weapons.

Broken release

It runs at an awful resolution and I couldn't increase it without turning off fullscreen mode. The movement is fucking terrible and feels like you're walking on iced, the screen also has a seizure when you touch walls and other objects, stuttering madly with a red box at the top. There was even a bug on the second level which despawned the heli copter and i was unable to progress. It's a shame because I've heard this game is great but this port to GoG is clearly terrible.

Great game, underrated

In a world where Half Life was King of FPS, Soldier of Fortune flew a bit under the radar, mainly because of its gorey content. Still, it is one of the most fun FPS ever made, only topped by its successor SoF: Double Helix.

Generic bloodbath and blocky guts

I remembered this game as a clear 5, but after replaying it two decades later, I had to deduce 2 stars, here's the details: Copy-paste plot: If you're into recycled storylines, then this is your ultimate fantasy! As John Mullins, you're tasked with saving the world from terrorists. Groundbreaking, I know. It's like every other action game, but with even less originality! Gore galore: This game offers more blood and guts than a B-movie slasher flick! It's like the devs thought, "Why bother with a creative plot when you can just spray blood everywhere?" If you're into that sort of thing, then by all means, enjoy the bloodbath. If you adore the dismemberment mechanics in the Hitman series, then you'll simply love the body-damage system in Soldier of Fortune. The game's GHOUL engine makes the carnage all the more lifelike. Satisfying, if you're into that sort of thing. AI on vacation: The enemy AI in this game is laughably bad. They'll run straight into your line of fire, making it feel like you're playing a carnival shooting gallery. Amidst the chaos, it does occasionally surprise you with a challenging firefight or two. These moments can be quite exhilarating, especially when you're least expecting them. Vast array of boomsticks: The weapon selection is like a buffet of destruction! From submachine guns to the Slug Thrower (I still have no clue what it actually is), you'll have an arsenal to make even Rambo envious. Variety is the spice of life, after all! Unintentional comedy: The game's absurdity can actually be quite entertaining. So, grab some popcorn and enjoy the ridiculous AI, cheesy one-liners, and over-the-top gore. It's like an action movie so bad that it's actually funny. For those who played Soldier of Fortune back in the day, it offers a nostalgic journey to a simpler time in gaming. The game may not be a masterpiece, but it's an artifact of its era, and sometimes that's reason enough to revisit it.

A great Game even in 2025

It is a fun shooter, where you still have to take a lot of cover and peek around corners. (I WAS PLAYING ON HIGHEST DEFFICULTY). The weapons a a booming sound and the game is not buggy. There is one level though, that is frustating in the first part, because of a fog veil, with snipers lurking behind. IF YOU KNOW THEIR LOCATION, it can be done. You have just 2 free saves per level (on highest difficulty), which forces you to play with skill. Story is mediocre, but has one nice thing (The Shop). I can recommend it to player who aren't whinin' babies and need a bot to play the game for them, or any such disgraces (YES I'm RANTING !!!). No, for real, have fun the way you want to play!
