Cultic: Chapter Two Reviews
Cultic: Chapter Two continues Jason Smith’s acclaimed retro-flavoured ode to the genre’s classics, with expanded and refined mechanics, larger maps, as well as a surprisingly stronger horror focus. Combat remains thrilling, bolstered by new weapons and evil things to shoot at, but sadly the level design can annoy with its repetitive key hunts in somewhat confusing layouts. Having said that, while a slightly uneven follow-up to the original, Chapter Two remains a solid recommendation, and it is highly entertaining despite its issues.
Cultic – Chapter Two is a one-man-band developer showing they’re capable of more than a one-hit-wonder, with this brilliant second instalment of mayhem that brings back the best of 1990s FPS design into the 2020s. Whether it’s inspired level design, awesomely powerful weapons or thumb-blisteringly tricky battles, there’s plenty to whet the appetites of those hungry for pixellated blood.
