AMID EVIL

very fun and fast pace. Reminds me of heretic. The game runs great as well

good

Amid evil is more of a subtly tuned mythical exploration FPS rather than a traditional boomer-shooter. The game's main appeal is to attract you into this ancient world full of dangers and mystery. Ancient Gods, scribbles of text on the wall, powerful foes and a mission to save the Gateway of the Ancients. It's mythical and inspired. There is soft story-telling through small sentences on the walls of each level which give you a taste of the lore. It's not a lot of story-telling, but it's enough to give even more atmosphere in a game which already has a lot it. It's a simple and straightforward experience. You start in the hub area where you get a very small introduction to what is going on and you must fight the ancient EVILS and PURGE the land. You are the CHAMPION, the Axe-wielding hero of this story. You don't say a word throught the entire campaign, but you don't need to. Your aresnal does the talking; you just save the Ancient Gods from the Evils of the VOID. The enemies are very interesting and varied. Level design gets more complex the more you go on. You never get lost in this game. There are no mazes. There's just a complex level which pushes you toward the end without making it a headache to figure out where you're supposed to be going. The level design is probably the best part about this game. It still has the old school key card system of DOOM era games, but without making you feel like you'll get lost every 2 minutes. You always know where to go, and the scenerey really delivers. The rest of the game ie : weapons, sound design, music, enemies all fit in to create a really fantastic mythos which is a lot of fun to explore. The secrets are just ammo pick ups, so don't feel the need to waste too much time looking for them. The DLC is great additional lore and probably the best game-play of AMID EVIL. -- When picking the difficulty, choose EVIL (max diff). It's surprisingly balanced. Remeber you can quick save and quick load whenever you want, you that to your advantage. __ Wouldn't change a thing about this experience, excellent value. 10/10 Including DLC. It's not DUSK, it's not CS:GO levels of quick movement. It has you wielding a magical STAFF, not a sniper rifle. Expect slower gameplay than those games. The movement is also the tightest of any game I've played.
