Oh man, you ever get that rush from jumping into an FPS game that just doesn’t care about reality? Like, sure, there are those heavy, realistic shooters out there, but sometimes you just wanna go all-out wild, blasting through everything without thinking twice. Games like Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun or Dusk have that crazy, over-the-top energy. Enter Project Warlock 2, a game that just hit its full release on Steam, and I gotta talk about it.
So, Project Warlock 2 — this retro FPS isn’t just taking notes from Doom and Quake. Nah, it goes all-in with the magic flair you’d remember from games like Heretic and Hexen. And guess what? People are digging it. When it was chilling in Early Access, it was pretty well-liked, hitting that sweet 77% ‘Mostly Positive.’ Now, after the big 1.0 launch, it’s rocking an 86% ‘Very Positive.’ Not too shabby, right?
You might be thinking, “What’s the big deal with the full release?” Well, it’s got all the bells and whistles now. Three character campaigns, 36 levels, plus, like, a gazillion weapons and spells — okay, 54 weapons and 27 spells, but you get me. Oh, and over 50 enemy types too. It’s like an all-you-can-eat buffet of chaos.
Visually? It’s got that snappy, fast-paced look that you’d expect. The whole trio of characters thing keeps it fresh. I tried to follow the story but got distracted by just wanting to blow stuff up. Good times, honestly.
Heads up though, it’s going for 50% off on Steam till June 11. So instead of your morning coffee… maybe go for this? Just saying. That price is a steal.
Maybe you’re not into this kind of madness. But if you’re looking for indie gems or action-packed riffs, there’s a whole world out there. And, hey, if you wanna keep up with what’s happening in the gaming universe, there’s a community out there, chatting away. Feels like everyone’s always on Discord these days, doesn’t it?
I don’t know why this game stuck out to me, but it did. Anyway—where was I? Ah, just dive in and get messy. That’s the point, right?
