Serious Sam meets Lovecraft. Lots and lots of strafing, running, gunning, and dodging all kinds of projectiles. Enemies are straight out of a Lovecraft novel, scary looking in all their 2D bitmap glory. Plenty of guns are to be had with lots upgrades to both the weapons themselves and enhanced skill sets to black/white magic capabilities.
Graphics:
3D with lots of 2D bitmaps splashed around for detail. Enemies are grotesque in all their bitmap glory. Very retro. Think Doom in the early 90's.
Sound/Music:
Scary. The tempo for the music increased when enemies are nearby. Sound from the enemies are also very unsettling.
Overall, I highly recommend the game to all FPS shooters out there, especially those looking for a retro experience.

Based on the trailer, when I loaded this up I was not expecting to enjoy it. However, I found it was a much better game than I anticipated.
I liked that there was a skill tree to customize your character, and two characters to choose from.
In someone else's review, they recommended spending your skill points in a way that ensures a diversity of ammo pools (some versions of weapons use the same ammo pool as others). I found this was good advice. I hope they changed that for the sequel.
Overall, a pleasant surprise.

Forgive me Father takes a lot from old 90s First Person Shooters, combining its elements with interesting graphical approach. As such:
Pros:
- Atmosphere,
- The 90s FPS feel,
-Variety of weapons,
- 2 playable characters, each has its own set of skills that are possible to upgrade,
- Variety of interesting enemies,
- Great levels.
Cons:
- If you did not get used to playing games like these, some thing could be tedious and the game can at moments seem unforgiving
Overall: 8.8/10

Turns out forgiveness requires a lot of shotgun action
Since you're here, you're clearly on the hunt for a unique shooter experience - and you'll definitely get that and then some! Even if Lovecraft isn't your typical choice, the game's vibrant visuals, killer music, and overall aesthetic will hook you to spend some time shooting a crew of goofy creeps in different atmospheric locations.

I had a lot of fun with this game! I will admit that I started playing about 8 months ago, but ended up getting a tad bored/too busy to continue, but I decided to come back to it considering I got the sequel in a bundle.
To start, he visuals in this game are wonderful! I really like the look and feel of the game, it's definitely its strong suit. The weapons are fun to use, and combat can be intense at times. I started playing again at around the halfway mark in the game, and I felt that the game got stronger as it went on. The skill tree makes the weapons lots of fun (although I feel that it was a bit one-dimensional for some of the weapons).
Another highlight of the game is the terrible one-liners that the priest makes! I found myself laughing out loud a lot of the time, it added a dimension to the game that I wasn't expecting. I found the game got better as it went on, it got a bit stagnant in the middle but really picked up near the end, I especially loved the last world.
TL;DR
Overall, if you're a fan of boomer shooters you should definitely check it out!

Quake but it's a Doomlike, Sandy Petersen was the lead designer and people stood up to John Carmack.
VERY atmospheric with a fantastic theme. It likes to put you on the edge a bit, as it should - don't play before going to bed! I'm not sure why some people (It's always "some people") are moaning about bullet sponges... the game gives you more than enough firepower even on high difficulties if you're playing with your brain switched on, using the right weapons for the right situations. The spread on automatic guns can be a bit much for an FPS in this subgenre, but y'know, short controlled bursts if the enemies are more than 10-20 metres away.
I'm getting a bit tired of RPG mechanics shoehorned into non-RPGs in an attempt to flesh the gameplay out, however it's not overcooked and I guess it makes sense in this instance since the game is based on a tabletop pen+paper RPG. It'll be interesting to see where the sequel takes it.
