Bloom (2020)

I didn't need to play this game for very long to realize that this is a rather poorly designed game trying to emulate what made Quake/Duke Nukem any good. The level design is flawed. With Duke Nukem or Quake, you could generally back track, but it seemed like this game was designed in a way that forward progress would be met with you not being able to go back and look for secrets, or just side areas where weapons are located. In the first level you can trigger an elevator that entirely cuts you off from going back, which makes it so you can't search for secrets/weapons if you choose to backtrack. Even DOOM never really cut you off. Interacting with the world is rough. Picking up health or items generally requires you to step on them perfectly, or run over the pick up multiple times before it will actually pick up the item. You might think you picked up the shotgun shells, only to turn around and realize that you didn't pick up even half of the items. It seems like it requires a pixel perfect step to grab the item. When it works, the shooting is actually enjoyable. The particle effects of blood, as well as body destruction is actually impressive and a nice small touch. Ho…

It just crashed within 5 minutes of gameplay : FATAL ERROR UE4. And I can tell you , my computer runs all games just fine so it is software based. Do yourself a favor and do not buy this piece of crap. Time for a refund.

Screw that, DO NOT, buy this game This isn't doom, this is a x and y axis shooter You'll likely need cheats just to get past the first level, thats if you even do I'm now stuck with these scammers game, they edned it with 2 eps, i beat all enemies on the first level and spent a hour and 30 mins trying to figure out how to beat the first level and still can't They don't seem to realize coming from a level designer himself, your levels and your game will be 100 % times easier to you, and their cheat code for bloomtoohard makes it appear as though you're drunk, I spank doom and duke on any level With these guys, nope, don't buy their game, they asked for this, rate it funny whatever this is the truth, as devs they should've made walk through vids themselves, bot no they diidn't even do that, i found one video, and this person couldn't even beat the first level They fix these issues i'll change my rating, now i'm stuck with a game from some damn scammers

This is one of the Best games I have ever played. So different weapons, enemies, locations. 100% I recommend to play !!!

The shooting feels good, the guns have impact and your enemies have great reactions to damage like losing limbs and then demonic roots grow out from the hole and they become a zombie which is great. The story premise is exactly what it needs to be, an excuse to go out and kill cultists, but it's got some terrible writing in between scenes. Now I've only made it about 4-5 levels in, some parts of those levels are better than others, like when you're inside a building or something, but the overall way the levels are designed definitely has that "cheap" feel to it. I'm torn on this one because it rides the line between "hidden gem" and uh... A cheap knockoff of Dusk. I'd give it a shot on sale if you like DUSK and CULTIC and are just craving something in that vein.

This is a mix of something really good and something not so good. This game really has alot of things going for it, and some of those things it does REALLY well. I absolutely love the setting of this game. It is unforgiving, sligthly confusing and weapons, monsters and level design so far are great. The levels are also quite large in size and gives alot of room for exploration for boomer shooter standards. There is something about this game that feels medieval which is a huge plus. The weapon arsenal is also great. I also have a hard time finding the secrets in this game. I found only 1 secret (10 percent) in the first level, and there was a dead end which did not lead to anything, so this game makes you really curious as to where the secrets are located compared to other boomer shooters in my opinion. The downside of this game is that you really need to get used to it. When you first boot it up this game it is confusing and leaves a pretty bad first impression, which is sad because the game is actually quite good. Enemies do not make that many sounds and you will suddenly take damage thinking it is a bug, but it is not. And this is what you need to get used to because the combat…
