Cultic is a really great time! Good mechanics, good guns, fun level design, and the weapon upgrades adding a little personal touch to your playthrough. Hard difficulty also felt basically perfect for me ; I died if I was stupid but if I played smart and kept moving I could squeeze through every firefight just fine. The "dodge" move is also one of the simplest yet most fun bits of movement I've seen in an fps, and made dashing into an enemy, double barrel in the face, dash back into cover a staple of every combat setpiece

If I had any problems with the game, they'd be balance related. The bolt action rifle felt kind of underpowered with the shots being strong but the reloads taking an age. My upgraded pistol outclassed it the entire game. And the sniper rifle with zoom upgrade basically breaks the endgame firefights. Getting to take out problematic enemies from a distance with zero risk made me miss not having the gun and having to get more in enemies' faces to progress. Also, the poltergeists are horribly designed, not giving a proper indication of where you're being hit from. But for £8, 6 hours of constantly enjoyable fps content is a steal. Highly recommended
