    Prodeus is a wonderful breath of fresh air in the FPS genre. So many games lately focus on realism and intense graphics. Prodeus reminds you of the genre’s roots and is damn good at doing so. If you want a more “modern” feel, you can switch the sprites over to being renders, which does have its own charm. I think fans of any type of FPS game will enjoy Prodeus. It is a fun, action-packed game that is fast-paced and easy to pick up and play for just small bites of time if you want. Some levels are longer than others, but it is easy to pick it up, play a level, and put it back down if you want. And that is something I appreciate being able to do with a busy schedule. Prodeus will bring nostalgia to some and insight to others. But one thing is for sure, hopping in and destroying some demons is always a good time. [Early Access Review Score = 96]

    Bounding Box delivers an anachronistic high-wire act, and the perhaps the best shooter outright since Doom Eternal. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    A bit tight in terms of content on the single-player campaign side (for the moment), the title makes up for it with the possibility of downloading many levels created by a community that already seems very active. [Early Access Review Score = 75]

    The good: that game really hitting the nostalgia about that kind of games, good controls, no lack of ammo, strong weapons, good level design, nice colors, visually the game is "as it suppose", massive potential ( to say the least). The bad?loading screens. I can't believe this thing exist on the 360p mode. And they are relatively long ones. (I don't know, like 20 seconds). Repetitive music. The music is overall Doom 2016 copy-paste-ish thing. Repetitive monsters. It's entertaining at the beginning but quickly fading away. The worst part is the incompetence of the stronger monsters. They aren't aggressive as they should and often miss. They also quickly dying. They dying as quick as the normal monsters. Good level design, yeah, but it's all too claustrophobic at the beginning and as I saw on youtube maybe it would be the same for the rest of the game. There are wide open places but the action arena is significantly smaller. The levels are short. The first levels at least. The fun just begun and hop the level just ended. The music too. Everything. Like what. It supposed to be non stop massacre. It's not at the beginning. The map doesn't help. It doesn't pointing you anywhere. I can't say much about. I'm at the beginning. I got a bit bored at the end of that hour. And i like that style of shooters. I'm giving 7 compared to other games but honestly the game doesn't deserve more than 4. The game suffer from what the old school games suffer but at least it doesn't suffer from what today's games suffer.

    Ok im on the second hour and have stuck on one bing jump. I've saw on YouTube that jump is the way forward for sure. It's way way you long. Ive tried everything. I've seen some have also stuck on it. I went to the shop to buy the double jump but it's tier 2 whatever that mean so I can't buy it. Also to buy things you must have gold nuggets. You can find them in the levels but strangely they are very well hidden. I've found few out of many even tho I've searched for them. That's not good.    … Full Review »

Most everything just feels surface level, in the way that the moment-to-moment gameplay is amazing, but there isn't any teeth to really grab me past that.… Full Review »

It looks gorgous to the kind of person who has nostalgia for the time period it's successfully emulating. The game-play is fast paced action with top tier responsiveness. If you loved Doom (1993), give this a go!… Full Review »
