Project Warlock (PC)
Decided to replay this just to mouthwash Turok 3 from my mind. This time I played on Hardcore which ended your game if you ran out of lives and made every monster stronger and faster. Didn't change much but kept me amused. I first played this game when it was relatively unknown. It was one of the few games that didn't come from the revolution DUSK brought and was just sort of there being its own little Wolfenstein clone but now that the sequel is in early access there's more of a buzz going around. Plus, it was made by just one guy and you know how I feel about games like that.
Anyways, I played this game on launch I believe because I recalled loads of bugs. Like, my last playthrough I blew up the lord of hell then the game ended itself to no credits. Some UI options exist now; crosshair and enemy lifebar are now off by default and you should really turn those things on. Yes it makes the game a little more unfair, but balance is all around the place in this game. I had a helluva time but the final boss was a marathon and wasn't so fun especially when the arena didn't actually replenish your ammo infinitely and you were forced to make do with what you had. So if you've been spamming that BFG I'm sorry that's all you're gonna get.
Those reasons along with some pretty noob mistakes like the inability to recall spells you've already learned and / or refund weapon mods not knowing that one choice is clearly better speaks to the amateurish efforts of this sole dev. Fortunately he is learning his lesson as the more ambitious sequel takes its time.
These are all the reasons why it sits in the "meh its okay" part of my tier list. I'm only listing it again here because I keep forgetting to put Fashion Police Squad which sits pretty high.
