Undead ZeratulThis is it, the final showdown in our <a href="https://ocw.social/tags/IonFury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IonFury</a> playthrough. This was a fun romp, it's crazy now to see the explosion of GZDoom games that have come out in recent years, and to know that even the company <a href="https://ocw.social/tags/3DRealms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3DRealms</a> themselves were able to make something fun and nostalgic as this.Which reminds me, I really should get around to playing <a

ohanditdidntgoWorking on my 'to-play' list.I've started something totally different this evening; <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Prodeus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Prodeus</a>. It's a (ahem) Boomer-Shooter.Don't usually go for these games but I've spent the last 90 minutes or so having an absolute blast on the thing.To the point where I wonder if I might have discovered a new genre I can obsess over.

DOROWow, I underestimated the fun of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Prodeus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Prodeus</a>. This shooter feels amazing, they definitely got the movement right. It’s almost hard to believe it’s made with Unity. You should give it a try, even if you’ve never played one of the good old shooters from the 1990s. — <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ShareYourGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShareYourGames</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaming</a>

AllieNovember 11, 2023 - Day 314 - NewPlay Review Total NewPlays: 334Game: ProdeusPlatform: Steam Release Date: Sep 24, 2022 Installation Date: Nov 11, 2023 Unplayed: 0d Playtime: 28mProdeus is a post-modern retro FPS, and is number 5 in this month's Humble Choice bundle.Some time in 1994, a 20yo sat down in front of a friend's PC, as the friend said "You have to see this!" and fired up a new game his dad had downloaded.I was stunned. The same computer we'd played Captain Keen & Wolfenstein 3D was showing a true 3D environment first-person shooter (even IF the mobs were bitmaps).But it wasn't just the visuals. It was the sound. The cheap speakers plugged into the SoundBlaster were emitting snarls and growls, that felt like they were just about to burst in and kill us, and all of my hairs stood on end.I'd never experienced anything like it. I was watching him play Doom.I've lost count of the number of FPS's I've played since. Tens of thousands of digital opponents have been blasted into pixels in all kinds of environments, and it's rare now to get a chill playing a FPS. Yet firing up Doom (or Doom 2), and hearing those snarls & growls can still give me chills, and in spite of having them installed, I don't play them.When I played Doom Eternal for the first time, it felt like they'd captured the spirit of Doom, with all the advances of modern tech. It was fun, but it didn't feel like that moment in 1994.Prodeus has all the little Doom-like touches; armor shards & health bottles, exploding barrels, secrets stashed here and there, but with added up & down mouse camera movement.However, that could still describe countless boomer shooters; the difference is that Prodeus has somehow managed to capture the *atmosphere* of Doom, in a way that I can't remember experiencing in a very long time.I felt like I was playing a true spiritual successor to Doom, and that's tough to pull off.But technology is not the only thing that's changed in the last almost-30 years. I've lived through some real-life horror. The mix of adrenaline and fear, that rush that I got from playing Doom in 1994, it hits differently now.Reaching the end of the first level, seeing that Doom-like end-screen didn't give me a rush of excitement, just a sense of relief. My jaw and my shoulders are tight and sore. My body reacts in a different way.This was a hard review to write. It's taken me almost three times as long to write as I spent playing.These reviews are primarily about my feelings towards a game, and whether I want to play it again, and Prodeus is difficult.As a game, it deserves an "excellent", but as I game that I'll play again? I don't know. As I wrote earlier, I have Doom and Doom II installed on Steam (and Doom 3). I have less than two hours playtime across all three games.Prodeus' 1.29Gb install can stay on my SSD, because it's:4: Good<a href="https://aus.social/tags/Prodeus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Prodeus</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FPS</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Retro</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BoomerShooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoomerShooter</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HumbleChoice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumbleChoice</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaming</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Project365ONG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Project365ONG</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Project365" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Project365</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NewPlay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewPlay</a>

Mori<a href="https://mastodon.social/@dimillian" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dimillian</a> Hell Yeah! 👹 You’re inspiring me to play through both again.I played <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Doom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Doom</a> 1 and 2 so much back in the day when I load them up these days running through the early levels is almost autopilot. But I haven’t completed both for decades. Then Doom 3 Quake 1 2 4 Heretic and Hexen. Got them all Steam and/or PlayStation when dirt cheap. Also OG Prey, if I can find my disc 😉As people have mentioned, new shooter <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Prodeus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Prodeus</a> is a really good follow up. Super fast and fun and definitely like a throwback, in a really good way.

TekchipIt has come to my attention that no one on my Steam friends list has Prodeus wishlisted. They also don't own it. I have to assume they just don't know it exists.Prodeus is a first-person shooter of old, re-imagined using modern rendering techniques and technology. Experience the quality you’d expect from a modern AAA game, designed with retro aesthetics and gameplay that invoke the tech-imposed limits of older hardware.<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/964800/Prodeus/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://store.steampowered.com/app/964800/Prodeus/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VideoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VideoGames</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Steam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Steam</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SteamDeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SteamDeck</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Prodeus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Prodeus</a>
