Project Warlock is an old-school shooter heavily inspired by Doom, Hexen, and the Build Engine. It features a large variety of weapons, magic spells, and character development options, and launched as a GOG.com exclusive.
I've played a couple of hours of it, and it's... fine? Like, aside from the variety of weapons and some of the spells, it's a pretty stock, competently made, retro shooter. That's not a bad thing, but the levels are more Wolf 3D than they are Doom, and I've found the difficulty outside of bosses to be sort of a breeze. And, as someone who has played a lot of Doom recently, it doesn't really measure up.
More importantly, between the game's art style, some performance issues, and the wonky lighting, it has the unique distinction of being one of the few video games to actually give me headaches. It sounds like some of that is going to be fixed in a patch, but man is it unpleasant in regards to eye strain.
