Project Warlock

Unfortunately this is my first dud with GOG. I saw the trailer and got excited about a new game that provided that old Doom, Quake, experience. Unfortunately that expectation has not been met. While I respect the developers efforts, this game does not resonate with me at all. Instead of having fun with nostalgia I am getting nausea. I have zero issues with FPS games and play them all the time, but I am at a loss on why this one is not doing it. Gameplay is meh, nothing to write home about. I wish I had better things to say.

view shake when walking (and even more violent in runing), I have to relax at least 15min every 30min playing ,or I well have a headache some place you need use lower graphic setting to see those monster clearly light skill is disaster, too bright in nearby area,but when I want to shoot ,I have to closs the light,Too unreasonable!

It's a good game. BUT!!!!!! I feel so sick!!And I feel headache and strong dizzy.

Feels like a game before Doom but after Wolfenstein. Nice art style which is more modern found in many indie games than retro ones, fast gameplay, tons of secrets and easter eggs. I really like the weapon side grades and the themes of the episodes. What I didn't like: Sometimes too dark levels, no quick save, medium difficulty is too easy and hard is too hard, sometimes cheap tricks from enemies, inconsistent level design, underutilized magic spells and a lack of option to replay certain episodes. That last one really pissed me off because I missed a secret on a level but I had no choice to go back and explore the rest level. Overall great fun and I really recommend it.

The gameplay design is similar to 90s shooters while at the same time it streamlines specific aspects of it to make it more accessible (less mazelike stages, 3 standard keys for each stage etc. ). Regarding weapon variety, it's pretty much the entire arsenal of Doom clones, along with some magical weapons. The music is great and goes well with each corresponding stage. The chance of permadeath on higher difficulties is another great addition for hardcore players. Lastly and more importantly, what amazed me in this game is the character advancement, which is a simplified fusion of Deus Ex's stats and Fallout's perks. All in all, this is an amazing game that is worth for any player looking for a modern adaptation of 90s shooters.
