Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
133 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gunplay is good, it's fast and frenetic, so if you like killing hundred of enemies in a Doom like fashion you'll be right at home here.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
94 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Project Warlock II is a ferocious and unapologetically fast-paced shooter that continues the throwback sensibilities of its predecessor while expanding its gameplay formula in bold, often chaotic ways.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The retro graphics looks nice, they did a good job with the monsters sprites/3D models and their animations are good enough for the short window they will be alive before getting gibbed into pieces.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But, as great as the sound effects are, if we are talking about audio in PW2, the effects are not where the game shines.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Here however, There are a surprisingly good roster of enemies, with one outlier that I will refer to later.
