Look, the story sucks, the use of Unreal Engine 5 isn't really that well optimised and the progression system feels like an arguable step back from what we saw in the first game. However, taking all of that in consideration all the same, Forgive Me Father 2 still provides a frequently impressive looking and appropriately blood pumping shooter that allows players to live out their Lovecraftian carnage fantasies.

Forgive Me Father 2 doesn't last long to be story driven, it loses a bit of charm towards the end and has some imperfections such as a revisable difficulty balance, yet it convinces in its evolutionary attempt. It succeeds by renewing the "Lovecraftian" experience of Forgive Me Father with a clearer and more intuitive customization, blending it with a more mature and stimulating level design and applying everything to an old school context with a more intelligent rhythm.

Forgive Me Father 2 is a throwback FPS with a stylish Lovecraftian presentation. If you're craving a slick arena shooter to play for a few hours then this is a good option, although the pedestrian level design and short campaign holds it back from competing with the best in the genre.

Forgive Me Father 2 is a fun and chaotic game that is filled with beautifully crafted locations that are fully explorable with numerous secrets hidden within. The weapons are incredibly detailed with all kinds of bizarre and haunting variations that will have players afraid of their own weapons, let alone the horrors awaiting them. Bar the lack of some tutorials, the overall gameplay loop is very fun with an interesting story.

When everything is working as it should, Forgive Me Father 2 is an absolute blast. The joy of mowing down hordes of eldritch horrors with grotesque, imaginative weapons cannot be overstated. On the downside, the story is confusing at best and forgettable at worst and the performance issues are glaring on PS5. But if you're in the market for a boomer shooter that leans heavily into Lovecraftian weirdness, Forgive Me Father 2 delivers where it counts.

Forgive Me Father 2 takes the first game’s foundation and cranks it up. The shooting feels better, the levels pull you in, and the weapons are pure chaos. The story’s light and the checkpoints can sting, but the nonstop momentum kept me hooked. If you’re into old-school shooters that thrive on speed and madness, this one’s an easy pick.

Brutal and thrilling, Forgive Me Father 2 is the distant cousin of DOOM that nails creativity and visuals but stumbles on technical aspects.

Forgive Me Father 2 doesn't require much explanation. It's simply a straightforward shooter that feels a bit like Quake, with fast and brutal gameplay. The illustrative graphics make the game a bit more unique than any other shooter, and the very light RPG elements, including the book that grants you extra abilities, add a touch of variety. The hidden rooms and the keys you can find offer little extra challenge. The game remains fairly linear. Yet, it plays smoothly. If you enjoy a single-player shooter without too many frills, then this is the perfect game for you.

A medium-lenght boomer shooter with stunning visuals and sounds plus a great gunplay. Forgive Me Father 2 accompanies an excellent Lovecraftian atmosphere with a great variety of weapons, enemies and levels, which are all highly detailed and truly original. Too bad the game lack attention to the plot and to the lore of the setting. The Bosses are really too easy.
