The verdict
A stylish Lovecraftian comic-book boomer shooter with great art and music, but overlong, with mazy late levels and awkward platforming. Skip it if you dislike Doom-style shooters.
Great for
Boomer shooter and Lovecraft fans who value art style and music, ideally buying on sale
Main risk
Overlong campaign with confusing, dark late levels and bad platforming; some hit launch crashes
What changed in the last 30 days
