=====================
If you like any of these things: Boomer Shooter, Eldritch Horror or Lite RPG elements, I cannot recommend this game enough

Good Things
====================
- Completed with the Reporter on Hard difficulty, the game is tough but fair (excluding one part I'll mention in a second)
- Excellent map variety fitting with the theme of the game, some are sprawling and complex, others are simple and offer huge open areas
- All the guns and their various upgrade paths feel great to shoot
- Fantastic enemy variety, the later encounters can get incredibly nail biting and fast paced
- Terribly cheesy dialogue from the PC, very in line with the VA of the time this is emulating, but this might be a negative for some people.

Bad Things
================
-No mini-map? Can't imagine why they'd exclude it
- You can't respec your talents that often ( you get 1 point at the end of each chapter)
- There are a small amount of builds I would say are non-viable. I was getting my butt kicked using mostly explosive weapons, I respecced to more evenly spread my ammo usage and get more spray and pray guns
- Boss 3, jeezus this one is over-tuned, total shift from everything before AND after, once you've beat this guy the game is pretty much over.

A Challenging tag-team platformer that makes replaying the levels fun, albeit with some issues

Good Stuff
================
- Played on veteran, the game does a nice job of emulating old Castlevania style games challenges, more recently games like the Bloodstained spin-offs, without being needlessly difficult
- Good replayability going through the stages a second time when different routes will unlock for you
- Once you figure out how to properly use the sub weapons, lots of paths will make themselves evident to you

Bad Stuff
===============
- Super Weeb ( this might be a good thing considering your tastes)
- Too many sub weapons can make cycling through them a pain especially in endgame if you haven't memorized all the slots and start mindlessly mashing the shoulder buttons like me
- There is a Compass feature that is supposed to point to the Boss and hidden items, which sounds great except it only works when you are two screen away from the hidden item, this means you need to whip out the compass in every room to find a lead and it's a bit annoying.

Not-quite-Boomer shooter has fantastic presentation with a few flaws

Good Stuff
================
- Definitely captures the feel of being a Space Marine, cutting through swathes of Chaos
- Most of the guns feel great to use barring one or two exceptions (*cough* shotgun)
- Solid difficulty. I played on hard and either got destroyed if I ran into the middle of a firefight haphazardly or barely got scratched if I played smart
- Good enemy variety, faithfully recreated from the tabletop game.

Bad Stuff
================
- No map, not sure why they would do this, even Hexen back in 95' had a map.
- No explanations for most things. There are quite a few power-ups, you would think these are bog standard FPS power-ups but I'm not sure what most of them do even now.
- Slowdown on Chainsword melee. This makes a bit more sense once you get a certain upgrade but using it in the early hours of the game and it makes melee feel weird.
- Oh wow....another Ultramarine

To the Point
==========================
Fantastic Boomer Shooter for any fan of the genre, blending horror and humor with tight controls.

Good Stuff
==================
- Played the game on hard and it was extremely well balanced
- A fast, responsive shooter that's very simple ( this could be seen as a negative to some). No leveling up weapons or skill trees, just get out there and start shooting
- Unique and interesting atmosphere, the real and surreal blend quite well

Bad Stuff
====================
- A little rough looking, not at the level of something like Wrath
- Small roster of weapons even if the ones you have are all very solid
- Some extremely well hidden secrets (some people might love this)
- Took me 9 hours to finish on hard, that's a fine length of time but I wish there was more

To the point
======================
- Fun Rougelike with solid minute to minute gameplay but man does this game ever like to screw you over for no reason

Good points
===============
- Nice paced FPS, easy to control and pairs well with the music
- Soundtrack is solid if you're a fan of rock
- Feels like you're actually making progress each failure, which is important for any roguelike

Bad Points
=================
- On hard and above game goes out of it's way to screw you over with things like spawning an enemy right on top of you when entering a room
- Giving you drops you cannot use like the mountain of health potions you get on characters with no refillable health. It's a roguelike so it's probably my bad luck.
- Readability is complete ♥♥♥♥ when things get hectic, good luck picking out all the skittering orange enemies in this orange room backlit with a lovely orange sunset. Also some attacks cannot be avoided without dodging or jumping. The game will tell you 'dodge' or 'jump' the instant the attack hits so thanks for nothing.

Abandon hope, this horror inspired RPG is unreasonably difficult

Good
=================
- Price is right
- Awesome monster design and general aesthetic
- You can tell there's a lot of love put into this one

Bad
============
- This game is so inscrutable and difficult
- There seems to be a time mechanic so you can't save too much or I'm betting things end poorly
- You are told the barest of info on how to die efficiently and you are then thrust out into the world to die
- Forget hand-holding, this game just tells you where it wants you to be and then siphons the gas out of your car and slashes your tires...and the place is 2 states over.
- I know this seems dramatic but really this game is much too much for me personally in regards to the difficulty, prepared to be frustrated

NOT for everyone, I honestly don't enjoy the game too much right now but I'm going to throw myself at it a few more times.

That said, I'm recommending it for those who like survival style games and an extreme challenge.

Final note: After like 15 attempts to get a good foothold here I have officially quit this one. For anyone seriously playing this game, you've got more patience for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ then I do.

Bizarre Metroidvania with tight controls and tough combat along with some questionable descisions regarding gameplay

Good
================
- Atmosphere and style are great, the world is so bizarre and unique and the OST is fantastic
- Tons to do and builds to play with after 20 hours I was under 75% map completion
- Parrying system feels great when you get the hang of it, it gives you alot of options in combat

Bad
================
- There is a lot about this game that is never spelled out to you (or I missed) which is important. Did you know when certain platforms that you can pull ascend, if you jump during this time it gives you a super jump? Or how about the air dash being separate from the normal dash so you can technically use both in the same movement? Cool to discover but I wish they just told you

- There is such a weird focus on tough platforming at the end of the game. Maybe you'll enjoy it but it was reminiscent of Hollow Knights White Palace which I know some people found annoying

- Personal peeve here, there are a few bosses that, in their phase 2, just completely throw out any conventional way of killing them. Two examples are "Oh now I'm invincible, please survive my 3 minute bullet hell before I die" and "I still have a health bar but don't try to damage me, it has to fill up to kill me but you won't know that your first 10 attempts."

All in all highly recommend, the frustration pales to the fun of this game.

Hexen 3 it ain't and I couldn't complete it due to a bug. Game feels half-baked, avoid it or get it on sale.

+Playthrough (partial) done on Stalwart+

Editing review for final release

Good
=============
- Really does feel like a spiritual successor to Hexen 2 with the explorable hubs and NPC with its RPG lite elements.
- The world and the lore of the two zones before I got softlocked were fun to explore with a healthy amount of secrets and loopbacks
- Good enemy variety in both design and functions keeps the combat fresh and baby, is there a lot of combat, it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming but it makes for fun moments.
- The gunplay is a lot of fun and the weapons are strong, you also get a healthy amount of ammo so you can go hard into the combat encounters

Bad
============
- Bugs, lots of weird ones. Enemy you melee hit suddenly teleports 50 feet in a random direction (usually behind you) ? It has that one. Progress completely locked out cause of a broken elevator? Well I for sure know it has that. Hopefully Devs are working on this.

- When you die you drop gold, your only form of progression which sucks in the early chapters, it did improve by chapter 2 but finding secret rooms is very important.

- Some enemies have very hard to follow tells, the skeletal bowmen firing their wrist mounted crossbow really doesn't make a noise until the bolt hits you. Maybe this is more authentic for that kind of weapon but it felt annoying.

- It feels like a miss that this game didn't have some kind of skill tree or exp system. A game similar in design to this one, Blood West, was able to implement a decent model for this.

An intense action game that's perfect for masochists, with just a bit of puzzle solving thrown in to make it worthwhile
