Hey, buckle up, because I’m about to ramble on about something that might not make sense. So, you know those realistic, tactics-heavy shooters? Yeah, like, the ones where you’re crouched in a bush for half an hour waiting for someone to walk by so you can finally pull the trigger. They’re cool and all, but sometimes you just need to go a little — or a lot — wild. Like, zooming around at the kind of speeds that would make your gym teacher question what you’ve been eating. That’s where these off-the-wall FPS games come in.
Think of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun or Dusk. Ever heard of them? No? Doesn’t matter. The point is, it’s about chaos, and blasting weird creatures into oblivion. This is where Project Warlock 2 sneaks in. It’s like if Quake and Hexen had a baby. Or maybe they’re second cousins twice removed. Anyway, it finally hit 1.0 on Steam, which is pretty rad if you’re into that sort of thing.
So, you’re probably wondering what makes this retro FPS — which, by the way, somehow meshes magic with guns (because why not?) — stand out. Picture this: you’re a wizard… with a shotgun. It’s been floating around in Early Access, with folks saying nice things about it — 77% positive reviews, which isn’t shabby, right? Recently, it scooted up to 86% because maybe some magical update or something? Who knows.
They’ve thrown in three character campaigns — yes, three, like a trio, you know? 36 levels to run amok in, and they’ve got this massive arsenal of 54 weapons and 27 spells. Like, who has time to use all that? And let’s not forget about the over 50 enemy types. It’s a monster mash. Literally.
Visually, it’s a bit of a head-turner. Kind of like trying to watch a high-speed chase on two different channels at once. The pace is crazy fast; you’d think you drank five espressos back to back. With three unique characters to play as, there’s a bit of everything — something for everyone. That’s what they say, right? It just seems like it would be a blast from the past with modern oomph.
Oh, I almost forgot — it’s on sale. They slashed the price, so it’s like $8.49 or £6.74 if you’re across the pond, but only ’til June 11th. Just thought you might wanna know in case you’re all about saving a buck or two.
So, there you have it. Project Warlock 2, doing its quirky thing, smashing monsters, and probably giving you a couple of good laughs along the way.

Oh, and if you want to dive into more chatter, there’s this community space where you can yap about whatever else tickles your fancy. Okay, ramble over.
