https://hardcoregames.azurewebsites.net/psi-project-legacy/ This game needs more work on it, lots more.

preaty difficult game, oldschooll graphics and screamers ))

Indie horror first person shooter - something similar to first Doom game - underground complex, monsters, weapons, kill em all. the game is quite cheap and has cards

Psi Project: Legacy is an asset/template flip made with the godawful Raycasting Game Maker engine used to generate cheap ripoffs of Wolfenstein 3D. Gameplay consists of simple single plane FPS shooting sprite based enemies on small 2D levels, just like Wolf3D. Conglomerate 5/Vyacheslav Shilikhin have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/590870]Planetoid[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/game-toolkits/tower-defense-toolkit-4-tdtk-4-91023]Tower Defense Toolkit 4[/url] developed by SongGameDev [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1075790]Fox and Bunny[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/characters/sunny-land-103349]Sunny Land[/url] developed by Ansimuz [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/790930]Primitive Shooter[/url]" = [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SviIeTt2_Lc&list=PLFt_AvWsXl0ctd4dgE1F8g3uec4zKNRV0]Create a Game Source code[/url] developed by Sebastian Lague [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/699550]Forest Guardian[/url]" = [url=]Construct 2 Basic Platformer Template[/url] developed by [/list] The Raycasting Game Maker engine is garbage. It has oversensitive mouse settings, so if you use the mouse to steer, you will just flip around endlessly with zero control. However, you must use the mouse to shoot, so the game is effectively unplayable. This is no different from any other game made with this engine. It's garbage. Also, like every other Raycasting Game Maker asset flip, resolution and controls are locked and can't be changed, and the graphics horrible, low resolution "pixel" trash. It's pure trash, and while the intent of the construction kit was to make small games to pass around with friends, and to teach some aspects of game making, unethical developers will dump the games on Steam as cash grabs. Like Psi Project: Legacy. I used to think things like GameMaker Studio and RPG Maker were the worse game construction kits for allowing talentless "developers" to make "games". Actually, they still are, no matter how bad or unplayable this trash is. Regardless, you can play Wolf3D for free, and it's better than this. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 8 players, and the worst part is these weren't genuine players, these were the Russian fake review accounts that the developer paid to make the fake reviews. Since the fake reviews are all done, now the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. It's also important to note the "developer" here has connections to a number of shady Russian asset flippers and review manipulators who show an organised pattern to scam and defraud gamers with fake reviews and asset flipping the work of others for profit. While reviews are about the games, gamers should be informed when developers act unethically. Whether these connections are the same developer using multiple accounts, or just working closely with other unethical developers, gamers should be warned about the harm to gamers by this developer and their associates. Buying games from unethical developers puts your money at risk.

They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product.[/quote] So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? Psi Project: Legacy is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 11,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.

Cons: Bought this game because I got a coupon for it while making badges. The character walks very fast. Sometimes you can't turn. (Seems to only happen while being attacked sometimes, how convenient.) The obstacles seem randomized in level 5. That would be a neat little thing, but only if they didn't block my path on both doors I can go through. This made me quit your game. If you have caps lock on, you cannot use portals. Pros: The "I'm gonna kill you." spam gave me a chuckle. Can I have my 0.8 hours back?

Oh dear. THAT engine again. When will I learn? After the bland disappointment of Psi Project 2 (now discontinued, it seems), I really hoped the third game would be better, something closer to or better than the first. I thought the original Psi Project a surprisingly decent and sometimes creative horror game and resolved to give this a fair shot. White it has a couple of moments and isn't horrible or broken, I can't say it's good. Psi Project: Legacy was made with Raycasting Game Maker, a simple to use but terribly constricting program that lets you create Wolfenstein 3D-style FPS games. Most of the games made with it feel the same. Enemies move in the same patterns, are always facing you, and have the most basic AI. Gameplay boils down to running and shooting. Working  within these confines, the developer does a halfway decent job. There are a couple of moderately effective horror moments, with you running through darkness as voices mumble and enemy figures loom as you sprint past them, only to have the developer subvert your perception when what you took for an expanse of darkness turns out to be a black wall. In the later levels, the developer exploits the engine's shortcomings, combined with powerful enemies, to evoke a bit of tension and fear (similar to the Jaguar "Aliens Vs. Predator" or, more to the point, the Raycasting Game Maker game "Warlock's Revenge"). The graphics are a bit better in this game (albeit nothing astounding). Other than that, the game doesn't have much to offer. There are only a couple of types of enemies and a lot of repetition of the same horror sfx and pixelated bloody graphics. The game is short, too. There are a handful of levels, only a couple of substantial length. In the fifth level, you get all the guns in the game and plenty of ammo. Then you open a door just like any other--and the game takes you back to the main menu. The end. There's hardly the barest hint of the story that the store page talks about. It really feels like the developer got lazy after making just a few levels and said, "that's enough." It's kind of fun to play through once, but you'll be lucky to get more than half an hour of gameplay out of it, and it doesn't add enough to what the first Psi Project brought to the table. Not a good enough title to recommend for a dollar, and certainly not for five.

Psi Project: Legacy was £0.79, it'll set you back more for a can of Dr Pepper while filling up your car with fuel. So going into the game, I didn't expect much more than a casual, low budget indie title. Psi looks and sounds like what you'd expect from an indie Doom clone. Back in 93, the original Doom looked nicer than this, but Psi still does a decent job at imitating the retro aesthetic that it has clearly been inspired by. It plays like a retro corridor shooter, with the occasional frame drop for seemingly no reason. In an empty room, no enemies, nothing going on, I get a massive frame drop. Guns don't feel particularly interesting to use, no kick back or player feedback to keep it interesting. It's as if Psi has cloned a 90's corridor shooter a little too closely, leaving in all the pitfalls. This is where the ability to leave a neutral Steam review would be useful. Because while Psi has some potential, it also needs quite a bit of work before I could recommend it or call it a good indie game. Whether or not the dev/s want to invest that time and cash to polish up the game, that's for another discussion. Devs, please come back and give Psi some more love.
