Almost well done.
An absolutely great game, that is sadly held back by its rough edges. While one could argue that the jank contributes to its charm and it indeed leads to some hillarious unscripted situations, I was also equal times highly frustrated by the game´s apparently inconsistent rules. Until you slowly understand how the jank works and you start using it to cheese the enemies. But the point of my rambling is that without the quirks, flaws and bugs, which are not all attributed to Fresh Supply, but are also present in the original, this game would be perfection. It is so damn close. It is created with so much love, detail, thought and an deep understanding of design, that it is a shame that it breaks immersion with me being completely invincible against Stone Gargoyles just because I am crouching for example. Or getting instakilled by three fanatics while moments ago I cleared out an entire room with seven of them while taking 12 damage at most. The games difficulty (which isn´t all THAT difficult once you know your tools and enemies) would be recieved a lot better if the rulework dictated by the mechanics of the engine would be more reliable, but that´s the BUILD Engine. What´s left is a game that is without a doubt among the best, once you managed to get under its inaccessible, cold and rejecting exterior. Buy this true work of art!
