The games games campaign does offer more than a simple linear route, with the shards collected during stages occasionally opening new areas in previous sections or alternate paths that can offer new challenges to play. So as expected, there isn’t really a sweeping narrative to distract you from what needs to be done.

Protagonists in boomer shooters don’t need to pontificate as to what or why they’re in the situation they are, they just need pointing to the direction of the nearest antagonist. Ugh.Prodeus takes place in a world of the same name, with the player taking up the role of a corruption within this world that just seeks to destroy its creator and all those poor souls that get in the way. FPS games of the last decade are more RPG than shooter because the average shooter has become so goddamn bland either trying to be CoD, Pubg or Destiny, there used to be such a wealth of diversity of campaign shooters. The shooter genre is chasing the Battle Royale or generally competitive bs for some reason, we rarely get the campaign experiences we used to that were always trying new things, finding new ways to engage us sans multiplayer. I feel like this genre would have less of a foothold in the zeitgeist if newer shooters were more plentiful and didn't suck. But I love the look of it, a lot of these 'boomer shooters' feel slightly off to me but this one looks like something someone would genuinely make circa early 2000s thinking it was 'advanced AF' and badass. I feel like it has too many tight, small spaces and isn't properly designed for them and then the other problem is how wonky all the verticality in it is, especially all the climbing.Īnyways about Prodeus, I don't care for the price tag on it, especially with it being early access. Very predictable.įor me it def will because I've got problems with DUSK. It's a gimmick that should be used sparingly for effect to support enemies placed in the level.but in reality the majority of your fights will be 'walk into empty room, oh look teleport animations surrounding me, run out of room to bottleneck the ambush'. Not a huge fan of teleporting enemies in all the time.

Don't Doom Eternal this, people just want to shoot shit. When everything is red it's real hard to make out what the hell is happening in a fight. And then leaving red pools that damage you. The basis is there, but the guns are the most Early Access part of the game. The pump shottie never feels quite right, like it needs additional range like the Doom 1 counterpart. At the very least the dual wield needs separate clips. The alt fire on both those guns are bad, and need some thought applied to them.

Give me a slow firing AR to pop headshots or something. The dual SMGs and the gatling gun overlap in function. Your pistol shoots bursts if you zoom in? Why? That seems the opposite of what I'm trying to achieve when zooming in. The gun profiles are weird, and I don't approve. You really want a diverse cast that each talks their own language in a fight. Enemies are very samey, not in looks but in behavior.
