There Is a New Sheriff in Town The original Forgive Me Father was such a gem that it deepened my appreciation for boomer shooters. Combining Lovecraftian/cosmic horror with the boomer shooter genre was already a winning formula in my book and the first game remains one of my favorite shooters to date. It was the first game I had played from Byte Barrel, and I wasn't sure if it was a one-time success or if I had discovered a new developer to watch. The sequel solidifies that Byte Barrel is a studio I’ll be keeping a close eye on. Forgive Me Father 2 improves on the original in nearly every way. It's faster, more challenging, features more complex design elements, and is more polished—except for optimization. The difficulty is finely tuned, offering just the right amount of challenge to keep you in a flow state. The arsenal of weapons and skills is significantly better, keeping the core gameplay fresh and encouraging experimentation with different combos. There are also many Easter eggs and references to other games, which I really enjoyed. It's well worth taking the time to explore certain areas, even though the game remains a frantic boomer shooter at heart. I was in awe during the last hour or so of the game; the cosmic horror was executed far better this time. I have only two gripes with the game: First, I thought the use of darkness was better in the first game and could have been improved here. Second, the optimization needs serious work. My CPU and GPU usage barely exceeds 50%, yet I experience severe frame drops. A game like this should run as smoothly as possible, and inconsistent frame times are probably the game's biggest flaw. It’s not unplayable, but it definitely needs improvement. Byte Barrel's next title, Trust , is set to be an immersive sim, and something tells me it will be special—I’ll be there to witness it. I trust they won't miss.

Rating: ★★★★★ - Amazing Time Played: 9.1 hours Difficulty: Normal Gameplay: • Fast-paced Boomer Shooter with an emphasis on creative Lovecraftian weaponry and frantic combat similar to Doom Eternal. • Fluid controls and satisfying gunplay; most weapons feel impactful and fun to use. • The insanity meter mechanic adds a unique layer to combat, though I personally preferred the passive abilities. • Varied level design balances chaotic encounters (some claustrophobic) with moments to catch your breath. Story/Dialogue: • The Lovecraftian-inspired narrative is engaging but doesn’t take itself too seriously, fitting the pulpy horror aesthetic. • Internal Monologue that complements the action without slowing it down, though the story isn't the main focus and the dialogue can come across as cheesy. • The overall tone of the game blends dark humour with eerie vibes, keeping it entertaining. Graphics/Music: • Striking hand-drawn comic book art style that stands out and adds to the surreal, horror-laden atmosphere. • Environments are dripping with personality, though some textures can feel overused. • The soundtrack is adrenaline-pumping, blending heavy metal with eerie undertones. So good that I've gone out of my way to purchase. • Sound effects, especially weapon sounds, are punchy and add to the immersion. Before you Play: • This game is just as good as the first one. Feel free to get both. • Don’t be afraid to experiment with different weapons; There are some weapon variants that are better than others to take down each enemy. • Look out for secret\hidden areas; they often have health, ammo, or tokens (used for buying weapon variants). • Keep moving during combat; staying still is a quick way to get overwhelmed.

Overall I prefer this game over the first one mostly because I find the combat in 2 a lot better than the first game. Having said that there are a few issues but the biggest one is that the upgrade system is not very good and its definitely a downgrade from the first game. The loadout system I have no problem with since it allows you to make different combinations of weapons so you can experiment and find a weapon selection that makes you feel comfortable. I recommnd the game, it has a great art style , satisfying combat and very creative gun design, go give it a try!

Sept. 2024

They took a great first game and made it even better. Great art style, even more defined and polished then the original. Also better maps and enemy placement and encounters. It still has some boomer shooter aspects but plays more like a fast pace FPS and not just one large room after another with a bunch of monsters in each one. Level design is also greatly improved. Overall I love this game and can't wait for 1.0 next month.

Aug. 2024

fun game like the first but im having real complaints about boss design, in court of sanity youre stuck in a small arena with a boss that has multiple attacks that you can never really tell which way you should strafe to avoid and by the time you adjust it hits you oh and did i mention when it does it you there isnt a single health pick up in the arena. and before the fight you dont get much either. do yourself a favor and lower the difficluty for the boss fight completely awful, but the rest is good
