Don’t forget about the music, composed by the legendary Andrew Hulshult. He made an ultraviolent, blood pumping soundtrack to compliment the fights in the game. He took his skills from making soundtracks for Dusk, Quake Champions and TAG 1 and 2, and cranked it up to 1000

Ive been looking for your comment and the info that contains:) thanks and the music of Prodeus kust feels right Massive thanks to Andrew and his part in Prodeus!!

i appreciate the 10fps 2D flair they given to this game. V nostalgic

Some of the best level design in the genre. Smashes the nostalgic button hard.

Your previous video on the game got me to back it, and I don’t regret the spent money a bit. Lovely follow-up video, Sheri! Take care!

ALSO YOU CAN TURN OFF THE PIXEL FILTERS AND TURN THE ENEMIES INTO MODELS INSTEAD OF SPRITES IF YOU DONT LIKE THE LOOK OF THE GAME.

This has to be my favorite game I've played in a long time

lmao the jab at Doom Eternal at the end, Love to see your review game is still strong !

Never heard of this game until I found it on game pass but I am addicted. The feel of playing this game is about as close to Doom 2016 as an indie game can get and I mean that as a massive complete. The feedback from the weapons and the enemy gibs is glorious. The levels are expertly designed and the whole thing just flows beautifully. If you like this style of shooter play this game!

Great review, just wishlisted this game!

I bought this a year and a half ago during early access but gave up trying to play it because I couldn't get saves to stick and I kept having to start over. I remember there being save points, that didn't seem to work. Are the nexus points new? Can you aim the weapons with the keyboard like old DOOM or do you still only use the mouse? Now I got to figure out how to upgrade.

From what I understand the checkpoint system isn't really much of a checkpoint. It just respawns you, any progress made after the checkpoint is kept which includes defeated enemies. Which means you can just brute force anything and everything.

yeah you buy a nintendo for the great exclusives, if you can play a game on another platform it's probably better imo.

Quick note, the secondary fire for the shotgun decreases its spread making for a more accurate shot at longer ranges How much longer? Let's just say you can get into a long range duel with a sniper and splatter em with minimal effort

Holy $hit! That game is awesome. Loved that you can log in and use the fan created maps and some of the maps will help you get the achievements real quick such as 1,000 and 10,000 kills as well as the 100 friendly fire kills.

Randomly downloaded it from Gamepass on my Xbox last night and holy shit I'm loving it!

looks awesome, downloading immediately, thanks for video :)

I really wanna know how the multiplayers runs. Loved this on pc. Just hope servers aren’t atrocious on console. Ill buy it for a few of my friends if it runs well

whoop, on my wishlist now!

While i was and still am interested in this the respawn mechanics do kind of make it less so to me... Idk doesnt really seem like there is anything pushing you to play better if you can just respawn infinitely throughout an encounter and just whittle the enemies down through sheer grind compared to mechanical prowess.

Really took another jab at eternal there eh conTHEY? fr glad you're back :)

Just found the game in the ps store saw this review and bought the game it's awesome like a upgraded version of the classic doom I love it

I just pre ordered for playstation it looks endless fun.

One of my gripes is the level select screen. It's going for a Super Mario Bros 3 dots on a map thing. And that's cool and all but it makes it a pain to replay levels cus you gotta watch an animation of your dude running around a map instead of just picking a level you want to replay. The shop is also annoying. Instead of it being a menu to buy things quickly and get back into the fray asap it's a small map you're forced to traverse to see if you can buy anything. It's wildly unnecessary. The whole ore system is pretty redundant if you ask me. Why hunt for currency when you can just hide the new gear in the map itself? Last thing is the death system. There is no fail state as far as I can tell. There is zero penalty for dying. All it does is set you back to the last checkpoint but all the enemies you killed are still dead and your health is topped off. So if anything you're rewarded for dying. The game is good. Great even. But it has a handful of glaring issues holding it back from perfection. It's so damn close.

This is one of the best games I've played in years, takes me straight back to the mid - late 90s.

it's on gamepass to.

The animation style is kind of like Spider-man: Into/Across the Spider-verse movies

Good video. Definitely grabbing the game. One criticism: gibs is pronounced jibs, as it means giblets

So Humble Games is a jack of all trades studio? The first game was a combat flight simulator, Project Wingman, basically Spec Ops The Line but with Fighter Jets, way more cynical than Ace Combat 7, and now they release a dark and gory boomer shooter, this game really hitting my old childhood memories of Dooom and Wolfenstein, and is a remind that you not need a 50G game to make a good retro shooter.

Thanks kaya

I’ve been watching your videos since you did payday, if it wasn’t for your videos I wouldn’t be playing payday to this day keep up the amazing work ❤️❤️❤️

this game needs a weapon wheel so badly

I gagged every time I saw the fire and reload animation.

This looks great

I’ve been bored of everything and so far this is the only game to hold my attention. Just wish more people played the multiplayer. I’ve yet to try it and feel like it has so much potential, but nobody plays it. I’ve been wanting a multiplayer arena shooter on console for a while.

Nice review, thanks. I loved this game from the moment I started playing it. And yea the map is useless.

I was so excited to play this game until I found out about the checkpoint system. There is no punishment for death other than having to walk through an empty map. Why would I WANT to have the challenge stripped from me? If I didn't want a challenge, I would be playing on easy. Or Better yet, I wouldn't even play a game, as the whole point is to provide a challenge to overcome. This could have been solved if they made it optional, or if they had manual saves so that we could create our own "checkpoints". I WANT to try to overcome the challenges. Not have the opportunity taken from me. You say that it is a compromise between death being "meaningless", when that is exactly what this is. You lose no progress, yet get full health. Where is the punishment for death? At that point, you might as well just make the player not die at all

Yes Prodeus is offered at a fair price but don't use inflation as a justification for its price. You see that argument occasionally when people actually defend a games 70$ price point not from indie studios but from AAA studios that give their CEOs yearly 250 million dollar bonuses.

This gane puts AAA games to shame

Thank you for not making a shitty video like the first video that pops when you search this game. The dude WOULD NOT shut up. Thanks for the meat and potatoes instead of annoying filler 🙏

Is it just me or does the game look slightly laggy? Besides that, this is what pixelated graphics should be like! Love it! Better than other retro-type graphics of this genre that relied on 2D pixel enemies rather than these more 3D-like monsters.

When you're forced to replay sections over and over again, you either have the difficulty set too high or you're playing a game with checkpoint which are too far apart (like Dark Souls for example). I'm not arguing for that to be the norm. I just want a working save system. The way i see it, in Prodeus you just get back 100 health once you reach 0. Or am i missing something? Prey (2006) was the same way. It rewards you for playing poorly. By the way, this is very much NOT old school or "Boomer Shooter" like or whatever. Quite the opposite.
