Project Warlock II Reviews

Came back to play it again after many patches have gone by, Wanted to do all 3 campaigns in a run and gotta say they've done work. 1st Project warlock rocks and this one shaped up well too. Main theme is great of course and I like the character and weapon designs, Plenty of enemies and cool cameos to find. Hopefully they will continue to add onto the character development as far as the stats and perks go and such. Also maybe some cool comics or cinematics for the endings of the episodes, something like that.

As someone who started PC gaming in 1992, this game took me back. The look, the feel, the sounds, everything. Whether you are young and like retro looking games or old and want a dose of nostalgia, this game will deliver it. High intensity fast paced action, beautiful worlds and rad guns and abilities. Highly recommend this game!

If you like traditional boomer shooters with a new spin then this game may be interesting. You will have 3 chapters like you had in classical games like doom. The new part is the meta progression you will have during your chapter, after each level you will have a save room where you can pick your upgrades based on the items and exp you found during the level. I personally like this addition but it may not be for everyone. Its make it more interesting to find the secrets but I believe if you are a good FPS player you will not really need the improvements to win the game.

I got to the second stage, then I uninstalled. I don't think this game will ever get better. Go play the first one though: that one rocks. This one...meh. Plays like a bad student project.

i really want to recommend this game, the combat is fun, the arenas are good, and there are tons of different weapons that are pretty cool, but i have consistently getting a horrible audio bug. anytime lots of sounds all happen at the same time, the sound just breaks. this happens literally almost every level too me, and the only fix is too quit out and hope that i can finish a level before it happens again. if they ever fix this my review will change, but for now its a huge issue.

A good old boomer shooter. Chapter 1 is good - Slower pace - long - feel good 6 levels are less linear than the rest Chapter 2 is very good - Faster pace - slighty shorter - slighty more difficult - Weapons are more polished Chapter 3 is good - Even faster pace - much shorter - Trickier - Weapons of Mass destruction incoming

Game won't load old saves and I don't really want to replay the whole game every time when I close the game.

This game has been out waaaaaaaaaay too long to have this many bugs. Also the level design is awful, Miserably horrendously bad and the "map" if you can even call it that is equally horrible which doesn't help me navigate around in the slightest. Which sucks because the gameplay and weapons are actually pretty damn good overall. I might edit this review when I get further in the game I havent even touched chapter 3, we'll see. The first project warlock is god tier compared to this game, check that one out! Worth more than one playthrough.

Honestly, id be lying if I said i didnt miss the smaller more simplistic level design and story telling of PW1. I feel the new bigger, open, geometric maps with seemingly unnecessary parkour bait (I felt really unrewarded for going out of my way to reach areas, ledges, plateaus and even areas outside the map, sometimes finding bugs in the proccess) made the game feel more like a Quake arena shooter than anything else. The story is seeminly nonexistent as far as I can tell with each character giving a sentence intro at the start of their story and then another sentence outro which leaves nothing to my understanding to what is happening with the story overall, who these characters even are or why they are doing what they do. The lack of destructable enviromental from the first game is also a let down. being able to shoot furniture, wall sprites and stuff blocking me or impeding my vision was something I miss from PW1. Another downside is having to restart the game whenever you want to change episodes, unless you create custom saves for each episode and remember not to overwrite it. Its also frustrating not being able to replay certain levels like you could in PW1. Instead in this game, you are forced forward to the next story map and would have to either reload an earlier manual save or restart the whole story over again to backtrack to a secret or cameo you missed. Some of the few saving graces for the game so far is the impressive weapon and spell variety across the three current characters. Also, some levels despite a seemingly either rushed or simplified assembly, do have moments of artistic vision. Its only in Episode 3 that I think most of that goes out the window for more simplicity and geometry.

secret hunting in this is miserable compared to the first game putting metaprogession things behind secrets means they aren't secrets anymore but puzzles
