Positive, entertaining experience
Quite interesting worlds to explore. Really nice to have a game which lets you walk on/access pretty much every visible edge and surface reachable; no nasty invisible walls here! Theres a lot of varying themes including ancient mythology, sci-fi dystopias, and Lovecraftian horror. Overall there's a very magical and mythological atmosphere throughout most of the game. Some really nice suprises along the way to change things up and bring refreshment to the experience, mostly in terms of level design and interaction with the level. Neat effects and almost overwhelming surroundings sometimes, but in a positive way. The ray tracing plays an important immersive part; a big plus for incorporating this technology! The weapons are surprisinlgy interesting. One of which summons a black hole; how cool is that?! I like that there's several useful ranged weapons. This allows for classig, ranged, circle strafing combat. The enemies are usually as fast/almost as fast as the player; in other words the combat is rapid and straight forward. No disruptive combos or finishing moves/execution moves, thank God. It would be a plus if the enemy designs held a bit more personality and charachter, and their attacks would be more memorable. Player movement is delightfully fast and smooth. One complaint: the floaty movement makes platforming a bit annoying sometimes when precision is needed, though fortunately the player isn't too often subjected to such critical platforming. The sountracks of today tend to be comparatively less memorable to soundtracks of the old days. Although not as memorable as the sountrack of Hexen/Heretic, Amid Evil's score is on the better side, and I was positively surprised by its arrangements and melodiousness.
