Forgive Me Father

Incredible boomer FPS with weapon customization that lets you play around a bit. Completed on hard, only had one crash. The gameplay is super smooth, fast, you have a lot of options with skills. Didn't feel lost. Enemy variety felt very good. There were a couple of enemies that made you rethink your movement strategies. Graphics felt like playing XIII and No one lives forever, if anyone gets that reference. Highly recommended

Pros: -Visuals are stunning, art-style is fantastic to look at. That's the biggest draw of the game by far -Gameplay is very clean and fun. Lots of weapon variety and abilities to change things up -Enemies are fun and interesting to fight -Level design is really good, game is good at utilizing ambushes and jumpscares in ways that feel interesting and challenging as opposed to cheap Cons: -Darkness is constantly used as a mechanic, which isn't bad on the face of it, but when combined with the art direction it can lead to some rough visual clutter and confusion in visual info -Story is very shallow, not a lot of interesting depth. Dialogue/voice acting is also really bad in English but I attribute that to localization/translation issues -Late game has some stages that like to get a little cute with parkour, the movement mechanics just aren't really suited for it Overall a very fun experience, and I will definitely be picking up the 2nd one with higher hopes

The game's good overall. What interested me the most about it was it's very unique artstyle that isn't seen that much anywhere else. The soundtrack also matches the vibe very well and the gameplay isn't too complicated - it's what you'd expect from doomer shooter really. Fast, quick gameplay with enough interesting enemies and bosses. So, in conclusion i'd rate this game rather positively :))

I repeatedly found myself struggling to enjoy this game. I love hp lovecraft related media and I enjoy boomer shooters this one just wasn't doing it for me. Enemy designs felt more cheesy than balanced. The parkour in the later segments got really tedious when the game's movement isn't really well suited for it. The underwater level is such a chore. The journalist has abysmal voice lines and the story is shallow at best. The visuals and stuff are cool but this game is kinda lacking in most other departments. Honestly go play the second game in the series instead of this one it is significantly better.

Level themes are absolutely amazing, but the actual design of the levels is very bland, it's like just a bunch of geometric shaped rooms and most make you wonder why these places just feel so empty and surreal. The outdoor areas look awesome.

It's a very good game, with interesting progression, replayability and great design. It does have some wonky boss fight designs and sometimes the levels can drag a bit with gimmicky mechanics, but I cannot fault the devs for actually making levels different from each other. Overall is a really good game. I wanted to play it before playing the second part and I highly recommend.

Forgive Me Father i have not sinned, cause these undead are not even human. i guess this is as close to home as doom in the modern age can get tbh. it's legit on the line to the dot so to say. you legit can't get any more boomer shooter than this and the devs deserve the success tbh

Fun game, great visuals, feels smooth to play, skills are decent. The unique guns are a lot of fun too. My only criticism is that I'm not a fan of the platforming with the tiny jump that you get. Feels very awkward.

+Art direction +General gameplay +Music and sound -Level design -Writing and voice acting -Story -An enemy that sounds like a yellow minion, and when it dies, it plays a fart sound. Messes badly with the tone 5/10

cant stand these super fast pace games, i thought the video was just played fast. apparently theres a buttload of glitches, which i experienced in the first stage! there was no button to get my lamp out. i literally had to watch video of where to go because i cant see in the dark without lamp. yep i double checked every button, nothing works. oh WTF, you have to hold right mouse button, i thought that was to buy skills WTF game

The gameplay is not bad. There are other boomer shooters with more "crunchy" and response gameplay. The main thing that kept me playing till the end was the map design. I thought I wouldn't like the graphics, and they are still not my favorite, but the graphic styles allows for some crazy visuals and sneaky spots in the map design. The variety of environments is insane but the game could use more enemy variety. I respec about 3 times to try all the guns with the upgrade system. There is some nice variety but the classic double barrel shotty felt the most satisfying and I'm not a fan of the alien-like guns. The game has plenty of ammo so using the shotty for most of the game wasn't much of an issue. I will now play the second one. Mainly I hope the second one will have the same crazy awesome map design with some more enemy responsiveness added, but we will seeeeeee ;)

Dreadful, this game is dreadful. The game started well, it was fun, but by the end, the maps were so unoriginal, and the gameplay was repetitive and boring. I couldn't help but set the difficulty to very easy so I could finish the game the fastest, but not even that could help this game. I did not finish the last 8 levels because I have seen enough. The game is stretched out for the sake of being long, but the gameplay itself is uninspiring and soulless. The ONLY positive thing I can say about the game is the art style. But even that is ruined by confusing visuals and terrible level design. Playing this game after 4 hours felt like self-harm. I just cannot express myself enough, how horrible it felt to play this game.n IF someone wants an actually interesting game, play Postal: brain damaged.

Didn't feel particularly strongly about this either way - I just didn't get the urge to continue playing beyond 1.5 hours. The art style is cool and I enjoy how some of the weapon upgrades change them into things like a shotgun wrapped in tentacles. I also love how certain enemies can't be one-shot killed with a headshot since they carry an extra head! Too bad the gameplay and level design didn't grip me enough to care beyond those things. Forgive Me Father is not bad or incompetent by any means; I'd just rather spend my gaming time on something else that I'm more into.

game is really fun with alot of cool weapons and abilities but the game keeps crashing in the 4th boss fight making it unbeatable for me if thats fixed ill change my review

Lovecraftian Serious Sam if all the enemies were bullet-sponges and half of your weapons suck, also there's an arbitrary skill tree for some reason. It starts out decently enough but it seriously wears out it's welcome towards the end. Also the ending SUCKED.

This game is horribly balanced I wanted to like it but I have rage quit to many times to keep playing it sucks save your money and buy something worth playing. Don't buy this garbage.

A great lovecraft retro shooter with cool weapons and awesome music

This is piss poor design with a glossy comic book polish. Coming from Selaco, to this, it's been an absolute drudge I regret buying. So many horrid ideas: Short levels that don't lead into one another ie going from an idiotic conveyor belt factory with boxed conveyor belts that just go round circles? What??? Then straight into a diving suit under water with no idea how you even got there... The weapons are terrible. 2 small caliber machine guns? Okay you can 'mod' them into a laser gun and a second rocket launcher? I began losing interest in this the second the first level loaded. The only thing I've found somewhat entertaining is the art work and a few short moments of heightened anxiety from the dark but the creator just could not capture anything good here for a more than a couple moments every other hour. 1 of the most interesting levels is a forest in the dark where you run up an hill, crest around a short apex and straight down the other side. The audio is abysmally. The machine gun sounds are almost MIDI quality, the dialog from the journalist ... god help me. It's brain dead, it's slop, it doesn't deliver anything remotely close to nostalgia and in many ways feels like a early Serious Sam game but not in a good way. If I finish this game it's because my OCD forced me to, kicking, screaming and dreading the sequel. 1/10 - may god have mercy on your soul.

I played as the Journalist who is supposed to have the more aggressive playstyle between the two playable characters. None of her abilities were useless, but still, I found myself forgetting to use them by the end of the game. Somewhere around Act 3 I started to feel basically invincible with all of the health and ammo pickups I was given along with how strong my arsenal had become. Beat the Game in about 6 hours. For reference, I played on normal difficulty. I didn't find any of the bosses to be terribly difficult, but some had sort of interesting designs. The two standouts for me were the Act 3 boss, whose arena changes throughout the fight, and the final boss. The game's strongest attribute was its gunplay. Guns were varied and interesting in both design and concept. An interesting mix of standard firearms, sci-fi laser weapons, and Lovecraftian horrors. All found use up to the end of the game. Unfortunately, my favorite weapon (giant tentacle explodey thing) was useless against the final boss. The game was at its best when I was trapped in an arena fighting off droves of Lovecraftian entities. Enemies in the early game were all quite interesting to fight. I enjoyed that they all had weakspots that you can exploit. My favorite were the zombies with two heads. I just thought that was a fun gimmick. By the end of the game the enemies became more annoying. (Looking at you, zoomy purple guy who shoots energy.) Story was whatever. Music was pretty good. At times it kind of reminded me of the score from Sinners. I loved how the level environments stayed interesting. This game sees you embark on a sort of odyssey where you travel through cities and secret labs, through dark forests, and deep beneath the sea. Some of my favorites were the crystal caverns, the spooky castle, and the area between time and space. The levels take very clear inspiration from the Doom games as well as Dark Souls 1. The DS1 connection is actually very apparent in certain levels, which isn't a bad thing. Unfortunately, some of the areas suffered from somewhat poor design. Switches to open up door would sometimes blend into the environment and be difficult to find. I spent 30 minutes on one level because I was stuck looking for a vital switch that I had missed earlier on. Maybe that's my problem, I don't know. Platforming sections were at times monotonous. They kind of reminded me of parkour sections of old g-mod maps. They become tiring by the end of the game. Some of the later levels also felt a bit empty at points. [b] 6.5/10 [/b] [b] Worth Buying on sale [/b]

Amazing game, loved the art style and the atmosphere of the game

Good boomer shooter with a great art style, if you like boomer shooters or the loevecraftian theme you will love this game but its not for every one. 8/10

Excellent boomer shooter, loved the weapons, enemies and levels. Very authentic and about to start the sequel!

I play alot of fps. This one is visually appealing and surprisingly well done. Guns and bosses are well done. Only negatives are, it would be nice to have waypoint objectives and the story is not the best but it doesn't matter. Just don't play as the woman.

Good boomer shooter. Terrible voice acting though. There are genuinely some fights that are tough.

The enemy design was pretty good, and a few of the level were pretty complex. Use of lighting is really good.

fun simple boomer shooter

Basically QUAKE but more Lovecraftian. Shoot zombies, weird fish mayors, suicide bombers, and more alien-demon scum by buying this game.

Idk what the game is about but you can shoot stuff drink alcohol and smoke 10/10 recommended

Forgive Me Father is a visceral, blood-soaked love letter to classic boomer shooters, dripping with Lovecraftian dread and a striking comic-book art style that sets it apart from the pack. The gameplay is fast, chaotic, and brutal—exactly what fans of old-school FPS crave—with tight strafing, explosive weapons, and relentless horde control that demands sharp reflexes and constant movement.

Enemies are too tanky on any difficulty level

Sometimes it's really dark but it's a good game.

DOOM but in a H.P Lovecraft font

Cool game, much better than expected!

Love the art style. It's fun.

Yum, i'm so full of soup and tentacles ^^

Cool game

fuck this game

Game good

Forgive me dada

Octopi are evil

VERY COOL STYLE

This game sucks I found better games wedged inside my BBW GF who is over a buck seventy and can suck the soul out of any man, if any man would know it would be me. I one time found a small dog inside of her fupa but i didn't want to tell her because this has happened before and i'm just sad to lie and tell her the dog ran away, again.

addictive

Top-notch.

indeed
