![]() ![]() I would like to finish it but I’m not sure I’d play it again.1C Entertainment and Byte Barrel announced today that their retro-style FPS game Forgive Me Father will be leaving early access and will be fully released for PC players in April. I’m still enjoying it after the five or so hours I’ve put in to it. Is the Humble Choice worth it just for this game? Probably not, but if you have your eye on a few others on offer this one is a nice addition. When there’s a big fight, you’re serenaded with screaming guitars which made me feel like a monster slaying machine even on Easy. Thanks to the visuals and the music the atmosphere is great though! It can be spooky and tense at times when you’re going through the levels just waiting for something to attack. They provide some extra tidbits of information but they don’t really move the story along. They’re even labeled as such so you can’t miss them, for the most part. There are bits and pieces of story scattered throughout the levels. There’s also a Journalist character you can play but I’ve only played the Priest so far Your a priest so you feel bad about it….at least at first. You immediately pick up a revolver lying on the ground to defend yourself. When you get there, there’s only eldritch horrors. Your cousin sends a letter to you asking you to come visit him. Invulnerability can only get you so far it seems. Even on easy, these were a bit of a challenge for me. At the end of every “world” there’s a boss level. Completion of a level doesn’t affect your ability to move on but if you’re in to discovering everything this will keep you busy for a while. Most of the time, back tracking means enemies probably spawned behind you.Īt the end of each level you get a completion score based on how many enemies you killed, how much story you found, and how many secrets you discovered. There’s usually a few keys you need to find to open a door somewhere with a bit of back tracking. ![]() After the first few areas, the levels open up a bit more and aren’t so on rails. I don’t think I’ve come across one that’s taken me more than 20 minutes to complete. I haven’t had to use them yet but it’s nice to know that they’re there. Going down one path locks out the other choices but you get respec points every now and then. Some are just straight upgrades to health, armor, and ammo capacity. You gain a skill point every time you level up. There’s also a skill tree with branching paths so you can tailor it to fit your playstyle. I use that one a lot, 10 seconds is a long time to mow down my enemies. My personal favorite is the one that makes you invincible for 10 seconds. There’s a heal, a skill that stuns creatures, one that gives unlimited ammo for a few seconds. The active skills I’ve discovered so far are very helpful. Filling up the meter also adds charges to your skills which you can use to help out during combat. There’s a “madness” meter (because Lovecraft) that when filled gives you a damage boost. It’s not until I got my first skill that the game started to pick up for me. There’s a lot of walking down hallways, shooting whatever is in your way, and collecting bits of story. ![]() I don’t think Forgive Me Father puts its best foot forward. As I was only two levels in I started a new game on Easy and I’ve been playing ever since. So you can (and I did) end up in some unwinnable situations pretty quick. Your health and your ammo don’t refill once a level is completed or after you die and go back to a checkpoint. Like I said, I’m not usually one to play FPS’s and my lack of familiarity and skills made Normal more of a challenge than I wanted it to be. I’ll be honest, I almost shelved this one after the first two levels. I’m not a huge fan of Lovecraft but I’m down to shoot some eldritch horrors! It’s also set in a world inspired by the novels of H.P. ![]() It feels like playing in a very violent diorama. I was immediately drawn to the comic book art style with it’s mix of 2D and 3D objects. That way I can play a person with a gun instead of an arm with a gun.įorgive Me Father is not a game I would have played if not for UnwiseOwls community Humble Choice review project. If I’m going to play a game where I shoot things I would much rather play third person shooter. The last proper one I played was the Titanfall 2 campaign way back in 2016. I’m not usually big on first person shooters. ![]()
