Dec. 2024

Great old school FPS, with really good control of the character, satisfiying gunplay and polished visuals. Also a great use of the Quake engine. I can only recommend for all of the classic FPS fans out there, but if you are not familiar with mazelike levels you should maybe avoid it.

Well as a person that was waiting for this game since 2018 i was kind of disapointed. However im gonna still say that i did enjoyed my time playing this game and even streamed it once it was fully released. One thing i didnt really enjoyed was maps and not design or visuals, but rather how huge they are....REALLY HUGE! My advice is to play 1-2 maps max per session.

After 10 thousand years in early access (yes I bought it in early access) and almost 1 year after launch, I finally picked it up and finished it, and I can confirm that IT'S GOOD!👍 The closest thing to Quake 1, this is it! If you're a fan of that, just buy it!

Out of all the 'boomer shooter' types, this one is perhaps the most faithful game of the era rather. The trailer on Steam doesn't really do the game justice either. It shows off a fast paced action game with loud guitar riff music, WRATH couldn't be further from that. While it IS a fast paced action game, the overall ambient of the game has this serene, ethereal and otherworldly feel to it. Even during boss fights which you'd think would be tense just has a soft and moody ambient playing in the background. The level design is quite stunning with some great vistas and atmospheric skyboxes. When it comes to gameplay the game has pretty good movement. You feel nice and fluid. Weapons are aesthetically fantastic, have good sound design and feel powerful. The game doesn't shower you with bullets however, so resource management is an important part of the gameplay. Instead of using your favorite weapon all the time the game forces you into situations where using the right weapon for the right situation will leave you less drained of your precious resources. The two cons I have for the game is the over abuse of monster spawning and how quick the AI reacts to you and how far they shoot you from. The monster spawning is an unfortunate necessary due to how the level design works, but I think it weakens the feel of the setting. Enemies don't feel like they are monsters that simply exist somewhere as most of them appear out of nowhere after you've triggered some event, which hurts the immersion. The designers also love abusing their Vortigaunt-inspired enemy who will start shooting at you the nanosecond you enter their FOV and shoot in constant bursts which can lead to a lot of peak-a-boo shootouts that honestly after a while get kind of worn out. This isn't my favorite boomer shooter, although it's very good. But in terms of aesthetic, atmosphere, ambiance and setting it is probably going to be one of the long lasting memories for me.

Very slight thumbs up. The game is fine. Good array of weapons, punchy combat, solid sound design, mostly good looking levels. But personally I only find it enjoyable in short bursts. The problem is pacing and variety. Whenever I boot this up I have a decent time with it but after 30 to 60 minutes my enthusiasm starts to decrease until I turn it off and maybe start it up again a week later. Most combat scenarios play out the exact same way, enemies are kinda randomly placed or spawned in, not much thought was put into what would be interesting compositions. Doesn't hold a candle to the FPS classics of yesteryear. But apart from that, nothing about it is particularily bad or terrible. So yeah, slightly recommended I guess if you want a non-terrible FPS.
