    Project Root presents a very good base idea, but with a poor implementation; we liked the idea of a top-down 360 degrees non-linear shooter, but its generic art design, many glitches and bad game design decisions keep it from even touching its full potential.

    Unfairly difficult and technically incompetent, Project Root is a classic example of a good idea gone horribly, horribly wrong.

    There's scope here for a good game were a bit more work put in, but the smart money says that you'll be way more frustrated with Project Root's patently unfair gameplay than you are impressed by it.

    Project Root lacks the pizzazz, gives you no adrenaline rush and makes you wish that you were doing something else. Save your cash and your time, and spend them on your bucket list.

    A ponderous, plodding shooter with levels that drag on for aeons, that champions boring conservatism over death-defying aerobics. One of the least exciting shoot-'em-ups I've ever played.
