    Movement feels good; Clever ideas of mixing genres.
    Bad- Visually a mess; Progression is too slow; None of the clever ideas feel fully-realized. Thoughts- By no means is Scathe a terrible game; it certainly has some clever ideas and genre-melding ambitions that I can appreciate. Unfortunately, it also falls just slightly short on every single count, making it feel more like

    By no means is Scathe a terrible game; it certainly has some clever ideas and genre-melding ambitions that I can appreciate. Unfortunately, it also falls just slightly short on every single count, making it feel more like a chore to play than an actual game. I certainly hope that Damage State can improve on the game as it goes on, because somewhere underneath the messy visuals and tiring progression system is a game that’s bound to be incredibly fun. I just hope that this game can make it out of the ashes of Scathe unscathed.

    The game looks lit.
    It's one of the smoothest FPS games I have ever seen. I have a good, really decent amount of FPS.

    It's a fantastic game would recommend it.

    Scathe is a mess. Constant lack of ammo forces you to use the base weapon (which is painful the more so that some guns are really fun), heavy backtracking is extremely frustrating, enemies respawning in previously cleared areas are annoying, and the overall repetitiveness will wear you down unless the soundtrack will put you to sleep first.

    Scathe has everything you can expect from a DOOM/DOOM Eternal emulator, but it has several structural flaws that make it a hellish FPS in which you shoot well but you don't have much fun.
