Forgive Me Father 2 Review (calibrojosh10)
Forgive Me Father 2 has a really cool aesthetic, creative weapons, and enemies. It's not that bad but there are just a few things that bring Forgive Me Father 2 down enough to annoy the hell out of me.
The magic book is super lame.
It has a few-second animation to trigger its effect, which with how fast combat is feels horrible to use. I want to shoot my guns a second after hitting that button.
This book isn’t a spell but basically a mixture of 30 different modifiers ranging from having made enemies die when they damage you to healing from damage you do, but you only get 3 to use and you know what my three were, increasing ammo, healing from damaging enemies and making the flashlight last longer, speaking of….
Flashlight
Remove that you need to recharge it every 10 seconds, it’s actually longer but it feels like every 10 seconds you need to charge your flashlight because it adds atmosphere and tension?! I’ve played way more tense shooters and they didn’t even have flashlights. Just imagine if you’re playing Doom and you need to stop having fun shooting multiple times in a fight to recharge a light so you can see. I thought people were being crazy, but it’s really that bad.
Menu
The thing that made me just stop and refund the game in 3 hours was I ended up hitting the return to asylum button, it’s this really cool hub area for missions and upgrades, a super nice looking place. This button is placed where your mouse will be after you die and if you happen to click it or not move your mouse to hit the reload checkpoint button as they are so close to each other. I clicked this return to asylum without a confirmation that every other game would have. I’m not redoing a 30-minute level after that, the game ain’t that great.
Things I liked
I might sound angry, but it’s more surprising that some easily fixable mistakes haven’t been made. So here are things I liked to make this balance the hate
Projectile from enemies are slow and not hitscan, cool
You can hit stop signs and they spin
The mixture of weapons, how crazy they look, and the gun feel and respective power they have is really awesome, just wish the reloading wasn’t so long for so many of them.
Levels are varied and look nice, never got lost on where or what to do.
You have enemies that you can’t shoot until they attack you, so you have enemy priority with a mixture of different enemies and projectiles, the combat flow can be fun weapon swapping and feeling badass a few times.
You could say I can’t forgive the sins this game does…..I’ll see myself out :(
