CULTIC

Annoying bullet sponge enemies and bosses have way too much health and take forever to kill. Levels are massive and confusing to navigate, with little signposting for objectives. By the time I finished the game I was glad it was over. Art direction is very good though.

very good. good boomer shooters perfect the minutia, and this one is pretty near perfect. everything feels the way it should, gun feel, movement, level design, art direction, etc. the only weak spot is the ammo economy. feels like the game couldn't quite decide if it wanted to be a boomer shooter or a survival horror game with tight ammo constraints. as a result it sits in a weird middle ground instead of fully committing to either. the FG42 is a good example. you can get a full auto upgrade for the gun, but you simply won't ever have enough ammo for that upgrade to ever be viable. i could understand being more strict with ammo in the early game in order to invoke that survival horror-esque tension, but i think the ammo economy should have opened up more through out the rest of the game. honestly, just a nit pick, since everything else feels so good, this little annoyance stands out. this game is definitely worth your time if you like boom shoots.

I had a hard time getting into this game at first, but once i figured out the gameplay mechanics and looked at it more like a survival horror rather than a typical FPS,...the game really becomes addictive and gives you the right amount of challenge and adrenaline rush at the right moments. The tension build up leading to a shoot out is really fun. The weapons and sound effects are very satisfying.

Blood meets Rainbow Six meets Duke Nukem. My god it's such a rush cracking these different combat puzzles and utilizing every ounce of the environment. You can send your enemies a sudden and brutal death that they are just as capable of sending your way as well. The first time you huck dynamite into the air and blast it with a revolver to kill the goons behind cover, you'll feel that warm and fuzzy feeling of controlled yet chaotic violence orchestrated to a perfect pitch. 10/10

don't even bother with chapter 2 every level is like "find the four things and open the door" which becomes so boring after 12 hours that i started getting annoyed when an enemy was on my screen because i wanted it to be over with. The train segment is literally hold w and click on people, the levels are insanely large just for a bunch of nothing burger objectives. There is a lot of good in this game and its dlc but i am so tired of every key fetch quest simulator. Also chapter 2 follows a lot of the same beats as chapter 1, just with added bloat so really it's not worth your time. Cultic on its own is an amazing game, i love the art and music and it was really fun at first. Maybe I will change my review if a chapter 3 comes along that actually has some real gameplay in it
