Forgive Me Father 2

Thus far ( I played the game for a few hours) I can say that the boys and girls from Fulqrum studio did a great job preparing a dish which contains a large number of different weapons, nice and stylised graphics and full of adrenaline gameplay. There are many minor and major differences between this and the previous instalment of Lovecraftian madness, which may be a drowback to some players. Personally, I find them interesting and develping the franchise. We can't expect from developers to create the same content over and over again (or can we? blink, blink ;)) because a few new maps or weapons is called a DLC nowadays. This title is simply a good, full blown FPS shooter with a few twists and turns (for example, the possibility to buy passice and active abilities) with a distinguished style.

While FMF2 is very similar to the first game, it does make some changes that make it feel like a proper sequel instead of an expansion pack like many indie sequels. The madness system has been changed up, that instead of unlocking and upgrading 4 different abilities, you can mix and match 3 different active and passive skills that all activate with a single key, though I really wish passives had their own slots, as many of them are hard to justify when they share the same slots as the actual madness skills. Guns also have their own upgrade points, so the skill tree has been completely replaced. Enemy placement and level design is also a little different. If the first game was doom or quake 1, this game is closer to quake 2's level design with the placement of enemies feeling like serious sam at times. The story is also not very good but its not like the first had a great story either. While I did enjoy the game over all, it does have a few issues. For one the above skill slots doesn't allow many different viable builds, thanks to how restrictive it can be with how limited slots are. The game also has performance issues, which is odd considering its not exactly a graphical power house. Still I really enjoyed the game as much as I did the first game and fully recommend it.

OK, the story is more cohesive in the first installment, but the play and level design are a lot more fun in this one. No timed 'maze of death' and the bosses are a lot less annoying. I also found myself getting lost less. The alternate weapons are different enough taht your choice will be meaningful and if you buy one that you end up hating, there are enough perk points in the game to replace it with something else.

It's pretty good. If you liked the first one, this is also good. Though I feel like this time things are even more disconnected from coherent storyline and it seems to be just madness. Guns feel great, love how most things die quickly from headshots. Haven't yet met an enemy that felt spongy. Great art direction. The story is really the weakest part, and I can not say I am fan of the voice in my head. Sadly there's not much variety in what you do in each level either, though there is the occasional puzzle or investigative piece, most of which are easy. But I prefer easy over moon logic. Good stuff. If you've played the original, this is more of the same but more refined.
