Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior

First of, this is a port of an old PS2 game. So it is janky and clunky. If you are having trouble with controls, start the game over the launcher (in the game folder). There you can change some settings, specifically mouse and auto aim (which you need). The game in terms of vibes feels like a worse Halo/Half Life. The story is ok, sound balance is far off. Some things are way too loud, others are way too quiet (voices). If you are a 40k fan you get more out of it i guess. The weapon variety is nice and all of the weapons are depicted very accurate to actual lore. If i had the chance to play this game back then as a kid i would have absolutely loved it. The main "problem" the game has is how you aim. Mouse speed is very inconsistent, but you dont have to really aim. The game is more intended to be autoaimed, so you only have to look in the general direction of the enemies.

First I would like to make it clear that I know absolutely nothing about the lore of Warhammer 40k, so if you are purely a fan of the franchise you might even like the game. What I'm going to talk about from now on is purely from the point of view of an average oldschool fps fan. For starters the weapons were bad. Can you imagine a FPS game where even a Minigun is a bad weapon? Not even Doom 3 has achieved this feat. The responsiveness of the commands was absolutely AWFUL, i wasn't able to fix the mouse acceleration as there's no fix for it, and because of that i was forced to activate Aim Assistance. OMG... I felt like I was playing a really bad emulator. The level design was linear all along, even though it had the traditional system of colored keys to advance the map like other classic FPS, it had no exploration and no secrets. The plot was equally terrible, as a non-Warhammer fan i just couldn't understand any of what was going on until the last part of the campaign. And when I finally understood something, I realized that it was simply a bad plot. The shooting part didn't help at all either, it was crude and unimpressive until the end of the game.

The horrendous mouse acceleration quite literally makes the game nigh-unplayable if you don't turn on auto aim. I can't recommend a game that has an issue this bad.

While old and definitely showing if you don't mind that. Definitely worth a playthrough

I liked it.
