BEASTWATCH: Meat & Mayhem

*pig squeel* Definitely scratches the retro shooter itch. If you've got a couple hours to kill this a fun one.

Great old-school fps with some light puzzles. Loved the level design, enemies, and weapons(shotgun had an especially nice crunch to it). The combat feels great . The only almost negative thing is that some checkpoints are spread out pretty far, so it can really sting when you die. Upside tho is it's very satisfying to beat a level. Just wish the game was longer

Definitely a hidden gem. It's an enjoyable horror FPS, and there really isn't much to criticize. Even the sparse checkpoints are not a problem, because the game is very fair with ammo and health drops and honestly on the easier side. I would argue that the checkpoints make each of the otherwise trivial encounters in the game intense, since you very much can not afford to die. Don't worry though, because the checkpoints are evenly dispersed throughout the game, and there are checkpoints before the platforming sections. The only downside is that it is too short. As in, about 2-3 hours for a first play-through. It really should have been longer, and maybe have another weapon like a revolver to provide weapon variety. 9.8/10, it succeeded in what it was trying to do.

A decent but fairly simple FPS with a really cool retro horror aesthetic. The FPS part of the game is admittedly pretty standard with a fairly typical weapon selection, but the cool enemy design and atmosphere of the game makes it stand out from the huge pack of short indie shooters in my opinion. Definitely worth a look.

It's ok.

Simple game. Run and gun but not the boomer shooter type of way. You do have to find some keys from time to time and there is like 2-3 puzzles you have to solve, but other than that: you see enemy, you shoot it and keep moving. Nothing special. I will say that I was bored throughout the whole first level but it does get better after that, as you get 1 more enemy variety and a change of scenery. The platforming is atrocious though but luckily there's very little of it. I recommend only if you're really interested. Plays great on steam deck!
