Forgive Me Father was a game I didn't know at all, but as soon as I saw it it captivated me right away, and I'm glad I was able to experience this game as it not only brings with it a dose of nostalgia, but adds a layer of its own, both creepy and euphorizing. This is definitely a product that Byte Barrel should be proud of.

These faults weren't enough to deter me from sinking over 10 hours into Forgive Me Father. There's a lot to love about the game, especially if you turn down certain elements in the audio options. Classic shooters live or die on a handful of core elements, and for the most part, Forgive Me Father meets those needs: a strong shotgun that decimates enemies, fast-paced action that constantly has you adjusting tactics, and hidden secret areas scattered across the levels. Some of this falls to the wayside when you're craving the next ammo drop that the game refuses to provide you, but it's an otherwise enjoyable shooter that's dripping with character. It provides plenty of joy with a dose of Cthulhu madness on the side.

Forgive Me Father offers an evening or two of fast, somewhat fun, but mostly simplistic and repetitive FPS action, served along a paper-thin pseudo-Lovecraftian tale that few will care about. Once these one or two evenings are done, there's no reason to keep on playing this nice, but otherwise forgettable shooter.

Much like the Eldritch horrors that are chronicled in the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Forgive Me Father has seemingly manifested from nowhere. An inventive and hyper violent shooter laced with survival horror and ARPG style progression elements, Forgive Me Father might be less refined than I would like, but all the same I cannot deny just how well the central concept of blowing Lovecraftian horrors apart has been wrought here.

Forgive Me Father runs at a brisk clip as well with no performance issues at all. Regardless of how many sprites were been chucked at me, the game ran flawlessly. However, that seems to come at a price where resolution is concerned. The game does seem to be using a dynamic resolution which looks to be very aggressive while also kicking it at strange times. I’ve been surrounded by hordes while the resolution looked great while at other times, with one or two enemies on screen, the environment would look terribly smeared.
