Pros:
-One of the greatest Co-op games of the last 20 years, maybe of all time. Up there with Left 4 Dead and Killing Floor.

Cons:
-Occasional crashes and seriously problematic glitches.

Fix the bugs, and you have an all time classic. Given the fact that the developers seem to genuinely care, I'm guessing it won't be long until they're fixed.

This mod is so high quality that its hard to believe its not an official game put out by valve. Selecting weapons and moving is buttery smooth and feels as natural is it does on mouse and keyboard.

All that's left is doing the same for Episode 1, Episode 2, and Black Mesa.

I like a lot of Scumhead's games, with Shrine II probably being my favorite Doom mod ever. And while I have my gripes with this game, I think it was absolutely worth 10 dollars.

The game is short, with my 100% playthrough lasting about 4 hours. The level design is superb. The world is so fleshed out that sometimes I forgot I was playing a Doom mod. The fact that a full on Metroidvania game can run on GZDoom is insane.

The only gripes I have about this game is the enemies, the bosses, and the story (although me not liking the story is completely subjective). When it comes to the enemies, none of them are particularly fun to fight or are well designed. In Shrine II, each weapon had a use when it came to dealing with a variety of challenging enemies. In this game, they can all be dealt with by spamming the shotgun or the bow.

The Bosses are more challenging and fun to fight, but I didn't have too much trouble with most of them. In fact I only died in two of the fights out of like ten.

Where this game really shines is in the art direction, exploration, and atmosphere. These three aspects alone are done so well that it warrants a purchase.

Long time Halo fan. First halo game was Halo Reach back in 2011. I honestly feel that this is the best multiplayer experience in any Halo. The only thing that's holding this back from being a 10/10 is the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ micro transactions and the progression system, but 343 already came out and said its being addressed.

The game is a lot of fun for what it is. It's a short but sweet lovecraftian roguelike (you probably could have figured that out yourself).

The atmosphere and music is great and the gameplay is solid. The game has good bones but doesn't really have enough content to warrant the pricetag. Get it on sale and you should be able to get a few hours or more out of this game.

When I downloaded this, I never expected that it would become one of my most played games, but it's really that good. Its incredibly buggy and is lack luster in terms of visuals, but that doesn't matter, as playing the game with strangers or friends is awesome. The developers have also been putting out updates since day one and don't plan on stopping any time soon. Plus the game is free, so there is really no reason not to pick it up.

Pros:
-Great gunplay (my favorite being the auto-shotgun). All guns sound nice and feel nice to shoot.
-A variety of challenges to complete for in game currency.
-Game is very humorous (albiet really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wierd).
-VR support.
-Massive arsenal to collect.
-6 Wave based maps.
-Enemy dismemberment is great (save for the sound the enemies make when you do).
-Dual wielding for almost all weapons.
-Weapons can spawn in as better variants of the original gun (Such as being suppressed, scoped, etc).

Cons:
-Only melee weapon in the game (the meat tenderizer) feels odd and feels like it's weightless.
-Music is hit or miss. Some tracks are good, others sound generic, and others just bad.
-No health meter (The blood effect around the screen is utilized) along with no ammo counter for each gun.
-Batteries to respawn weapons when you run of guns respawn infrequently. This results in going around in circles for a while to find one out of four of the necessary batteries to spawn something.
-Enemy diversity is only on the surface level (they only look different and have no uniqe abilities).

The cons really aren't that bad, as the game is still a blast to play. If killing sausages in your backyard with an uzi whilst sipping wine and listening to some funky fresh beats sounds fun, then buy this game now. This game deserves your attention.

I have only played about half of this game, so this review only reflects 4 out of the 8 levels that are in the campaign.

Pros: Cool weapons (6 in the game)
Challenging gameplay
A survival gamemode along with the campaign
Cool looking enemies
Old-school gameplay (aka searching for secrets and character upgrades)
An upgrade system for all weapons
Decent level design
Gibbing system for turning enemies into a fine red paste
Nice looking envronments
Difficult bosses (on the hardest difficulty)
Good pricetag for the amount of content in the game

Cons: Poor voice acting for both the main character and enemies
Poorly translated dialogue
Cringy dialogue (on occasion)
The campaign is somewhat short
Mediocre story

I highly suggest you install the demo before buying the full version. And for those of you that use windows 10, run the game on windows 7 compatibility mode, otherwise it will not work. Overall (what I have played of it), this game is a lot of fun, and I highly suggest you buy it.

Edit: Okay, I just finished the game, and overall, it is still just as fun as the first half. Save for the second and third bosses on extreme difficulty.

Pros:
Fun combat
Cool environments
Great gunplay (my favorite gun being the tommy gun)
Old School gameplay
Creative looking enemies
Great movement
Later levels are really well designed

Cons:
Awful voice acting
Laughably bad story
Poor framerate at even the lowest settings
Unlikeable characters (The description of the game says it has "witty characters" but all the characters say are stupid things like "Oh yes. Time to poke some holes in these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.) This combined with bad voice acting is agonizing
Bad companion AI (they spout one liners when nothing is even in the same room, and start shooting at enemies through walls)
All enemies feel exactly the same.
Parts of the 3D models bodies are disproportionate (For example, A monster's head bigger than its torso)
Death animations are long and drawn out
Some... odd design choices (like the fact that the firs enemies you kill are possessed orphans)
Linear level design in the first chapter (long boring corridors with no substance. Sometimes I got lost and kept on wondering I was going down the same hall over and over again.
Overall, this game is fun, but the flaws make this game lackluster in lots of areas. As of now, this game is not worth your time.

This game made me want to throw my keyboard at the wall. I still liked it. It has a nice feel to it and a cool soundtrack. The game is a bit too difficult for me, yet for people who like difficult platformers, you will definitely enjoy this.
