    Intelligent design and fierce intensity combine to make Prodeus the finest single-player shooter of the year so far. It loses marks for a confusing economy and overworld, but it’s still worth whispering in the same reverent voice you save for the classics.

    In some respects Prodeus pretty much seems to be a clone of the very first Doom, but it imitates the legend ridiculously well, because the guys from Bounding Box Software perfectly understand the pillars of id Software’s success. Their game is fast and satisfying, old school and modern at the same time, sounds great and looks even better.

    Prodeus is an excellent experience for modern and retro first-person shooter fans. The pure carnage of the gameplay and high replayable offered makes it a game that can be easily returned to in small bursts or long play sessions. The level themes may be limited, but if you’re here for a challenge and gallons of pixelated blood, you’ve just found one of the most addictive shooters of 2022.

    Almost two years in early access were apparently enough to rough out the edges and Prodeus 1.0 is an intense, fun and satisfying first person shooter.

    Prodeus’ ultraviolent combat is fantastic if that’s what you’re in the mood for. But even the most delicious meal can sour in the stomach if there’s simply too much. In short bursts, Prodeus not just stands on the shoulders of giants, it dwarfs them. Over hours, though, the incessant action and jackhammer sound design start to feel a little restrictive and repetitive. Prodeus is a near-perfect homage to late 90s shooters, but you don’t need to be a demon spawn of Doom to enjoy it.

    Prodeus is stupidly fun, looks incredible, sounds fantastic, and is launching into a subscription service many people reading this may have. It’s been a bit of a weird marketing cycle leading up to the launch of the game, but I hope as many people as possible at least try it out. It’s one hell of a love letter to the FPS genre for both the old and the new.

    Prodeus is a noble tribute to the original Doom with plenty of action, excellent stylized visuals, and great level design. However, the brief campaign grows repetitive as the mechanics don't evolve beyond the basics, and multiplayer is unfortunately empty.

It looks gorgous to the kind of person who has nostalgia for the time period it's successfully emulating. The game-play is fast paced action with top tier responsiveness. If you loved Doom (1993), give this a go!… Expand

    I didn't finish the game. I'm at the beginning actually, played it for like one hour and what I can say is the following:

    The good: that game really hitting the nostalgia about that kind of games, good controls, no lack of ammo, strong weapons, good level design, nice colors, visually the game is "as it suppose", massive potential ( to say the least). The bad?loading screens. I can't believe this thing exist on the 360p mode. And they are relatively long ones. (I don't know, like 20 seconds). Repetitive music. The music is overall Doom 2016 copy-paste-ish thing. Repetitive monsters. It's entertaining at the beginning but quickly fading away. The worst part is the incompetence of the stronger monsters. They aren't aggressive as they should and often miss. They also quickly dying. They dying as quick as the normal monsters. Good level design, yeah, but it's all too claustrophobic at the beginning and as I saw on youtube maybe it would be the same for the rest of the game. There are wide open places but the action arena is significantly smaller. The levels are short. The first levels at least. The fun just begun and hop the level just ended. The music too. Everything. Like what. It supposed to be non stop massacre. It's not at the beginning. The map doesn't help. It doesn't pointing you anywhere. I can't say much about. I'm at the beginning. I got a bit bored at the end of that hour. And i like that style of shooters. I'm giving 7 compared to other games but honestly the game doesn't deserve more than 4. The game suffer from what the old school games suffer but at least it doesn't suffer from what today's games suffer.

    Ok im on the second hour and have stuck on one bing jump. I've saw on YouTube that jump is the way forward for sure. It's way way you long. Ive tried everything. I've seen some have also stuck on it. I went to the shop to buy the double jump but it's tier 2 whatever that mean so I can't buy it. Also to buy things you must have gold nuggets. You can find them in the levels but strangely they are very well hidden. I've found few out of many even tho I've searched for them. That's not good.    … Expand
