Flawed gem, worth the price
Excellent 3rd person shooter that is a throwback to the 90s classics. In terms of game layout, Project Warlock plays more like Wolfenstein in the early episodes with labyrinthine mazes but gradually opens up to larger vistas, mimicking Doom, and at times openly riffing on the theme (with levels like Shores of Hell and monsters like the Cyberdemon). What sets it apart is not just clever play on old themes (including fallen bodies of Wang, Caleb, and the Doomguy; and references to classic movies like John Carpenter's "The Thing") but also a very wide variety of weapons with the upgrade system, all fun to use and packing a punch. Sounds effects for weapons are marvelous, and music is nice if a bit repetitive. All in all, this game is worth the price (15 Canadian bucks for me), and I spent about 10 hours on my first playthrough; due to weapons/spells customization, this game has some replayability for sure, so for 15 hours of playtime, 15 bucks sounds about right! My only two gripes are the difficulty system and the lighting. I had to switch to Casual, because after playing on Normal I had no issues at all until I ran into the first boss. Before I could figure out how to fight the guy, I lost all my lives and had to lose ALL of my progress (the game has a checkpoint system and no regular saves), a good hour or so of playtime. Being a busy professional, I ain't got time for dat! Maybe playing a second time I will appreciate it (and I intend to, in a few months), but I would recommend for anyone who is not a dedicated gamer to start Casual. my second issue is the lighting. Save yourself some bad headache and turn the light setting to its brightest. It washes out the colors, but you wouldn't have to rely on the Light spell all the time to see where the hell you're going. At the end of the day, the game is fun enough to warrant 15 bucks, but a few tweaks could make it into a true classic in a decade or so.
