yk how lol players say the game is ♥♥♥♥ but keep playing ? yeah... from console to pc there ain't no saving me or any of us from addiction, just don't get in buddy.

0/10 no jiggle physics
(srsly tho the game is top tier, been playing it for years and recently got it on steam too and it does not disappoint. Pro tip of the day : beware of the difficulty because if you F around you're gonna be finding out the hard way)

Edit : Yeah if you're here just buy the game brother

So at first i thought it would be just a doom-like... well technically i was right, except we're talking about Eternal. This is seriously the best way i can describe the gameplay : imagine if the sequel to doom eternal had the same gameplay/movement upgrade as the 2016-Eternal upgrade, had a child with quake and devil may cry raised the child. That's ultrakill for you babe.
Of course if you don't like fast-paced Doomer-shooter imma tell you to get out of here but you wouldn't be here if that was the case
/!\ "Duck" will replace the USA's favorite word, you can guess which one.

|+/- :
--The graphics and visual style isn't necessarily a good or bad thing, still, the retro style somehow fits this game better than AAA visuals but it may make it harder to understand what's going on in harder difficulties so it's 50/50.
--The ambiance (except music, i'm talking about sound effect and visual ambiance here) has the same "problem", it's good but not THAT good. Honestly the fact that it's this way may be for the best, otherwise it may draw attention away from the action, soooo yeah it's a plus but not a big one.
--Lore isn't something you'd expect from this game and yet it delivers some, but it's not the most incredible lore i've seen, but again this game is early access and it seems like therer'll be WAY more lore as time goes by so for now 50/50.

|-- :
--Honestly not much to say here, maybe the jump in difficulty is a little high and players going for the highest difficulty for the first time can feel overwhelmed... but that's the point of a challenge, to be difficult. So don't be affraid to play a lower difficulty for the sake of amusement !
--Talking about overwhelming : the gameplay mechanics are both the greatest and worst characteristics of this game : THERE'S A METRIC DUCK-TON OF THEM ! (More on that later but you get the point) and the fact that you'll need to discover them by yourself or thanks to the community can be a little discouraging (for example there's still a secret in layer lust i wasn't able to get bc it's so far, you'll know the one i'm talking about)
--"Something wicked this way comes..." I have PTSD when i see that somewhere else now, thanks man. (that's a joke you'll understand later, it's not really a - it's a +) ((the PTSD part wasn't a joke))

|++ :
--The movement is simplistic yet very complete and incredibly satisfying (see below) AND it feels normal to play, not a lot of fast paced games can have this compliment (looking at you RAGE).
-There's everything you'd expect from any action game : jump, wall jump, ground pound, dash, slide. That's it. And yet it gets complicated real fast, that's why it's also a con. Because you can combine those 5 mechanics in however order you want and you'll still end up with a new thing you can use in-game (Ex: jump-dash, momentum-keeping-slide-jump, wall-pound and finally : momentum-keeping-wall-pound-dashed-slide.... yes that is 4 of 5, yes it can get even more ridiculous, yes it's still fun and applicable in-game.
--The arsenal isn't overwhelming for once (contrary to what the weaklings say), simply put : a mod changes the mouse 2 click and an Alternate changes the mouse 1 click, and there's only 4 weapons (technically 5 but who counts your arm as a weapon ??) and you can select which weapon, mod and alternate to activate or deactivate (you can activate all of them and be rambot or deactivate all of them and go without a single weapon, don't know why you'd do that tho)
--There is just enough enemies to keep things interesting but not so much that you don't know what you're fighting in the 2nd level already. The boss and enemies are all VERY unique and have their own fighting style (jthere's no enemies who are just the same as an other but the attacks are green instead of red, looking at you DOOM)
--The music would put AAA games to shame, it fits the game so well, is just ducking great and always put you in the right mindset and yet it never gets the upper hand over your attention.
--The settings... Oh god the settings... seriously tho there's enough settings there for you to find the exact way you'd most enjoy the game and yet it's not too much or de-organised like most game, seriously that's a great + here.

|SO :
Gameplay : 9.5/10
Music : 10/10
Visuals : 8/10
Lifetime : I have 58 hours as i'm writing this and there's only 1/4 or 1/3 of the levels there's supposed to be in the final version (currently ending at 2nd ACT 1st layer) so i'd say 8/10
Lore : 6.5/10

OVERALL : 8.4/10 would definitely recommend to anyone who likes doomer-shooter.

.

So it's a hard (heavy i should say) game about speed run, beer, hell and some ♥♥♥♥♥♥' good metal... What else can you ask from the gods themselves than this masterpiece ?

So. Dani my man. You made a good game there. A real good game. But why the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ muck isn't there a way to save your world even tho there's a creative mode ? But yeah beyond that it's a really good game for this genre, first time i saw a mix between survival/sandbox and rogue-like and this is a welcomed one !
