I thank the beautiful demons of the underworld every day for the success of 2016’s DOOM reboot-quel, which kickstarted a brand new wave of what people (unfortunately) call “boomer shooters”: first-person shooters focused less on the tactical and realistic aspects of Call of Duty and Battlefield, instead opting for ultraviolence, simple controls, ludicrous speeds, and a big emphasis on exploration. This new wave has gifted us with games like Dusk, Hellbound, Ion Fury, Amid Evil, and othe...
Early Access was kind to Prodeus, as the end result gives us a masterful game with incredible maps, punchy and satisfying gunplay, as well as some kick-ass visuals and sound design.
Prodeus is the kind of game that knows exactly what it wants to do and executes that vision flawlessly. It’s not complicated and it’s nothing you haven’t seen before, but every inch of this experience was clearly crafted with passion and talent. The intense firefights, expansive arsenal, metal music, and sprawling level designs all come together to make Prodeus feel like a game that’s just the right mix of retro and modern. If you have ever been a fan of Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, or any of the indie boomer shooters of the last few years, you owe it to yourself to give Prodeus a shot. Even if you haven’t much been into the genre before, we’d say this is an excellent place to jump in and see what it’s about. Wherever you stand, we’d give Prodeus a strong recommendation; this is absolutely worth both your time and money.
The 2020s resurgence of "boomer shooters" continues with Prodeus, one of the best examples of the subgenre, and one of the best games in it, period.
With Prodeus, Bounding Box Software has brought back some of the best elements of the boomer shooter genre.
Prodeus is the reincarnation of classic FPS games from the '90s. There isn't much of a story here, but let's be honest, if you are playing this game, it's for the blood and mayhem!
Prodeus is stupidly fun, looks incredible, sounds fantastic, and is launching into a subscription service many people reading this may have. It’s been a bit of a weird marketing cycle leading up to the launch of the game, but I hope as many people as possible at least try it out. It’s one hell of a love letter to the FPS genre for both the old and the new.
Prodeus is a retro first-person shooter that's been reimagined using modern rendering techniques, reaching the quality expected from a AAA experience while adhering to some of the aesthetic technical limits of older hardware.
Prodeus is an incredible boomer-shooter that shines with its presentation, gunplay, and community integration! And, you can enjoy this on fully on the Steam Deck!
Unique and absorbing, Proteus succeeds in challenging the notion of which forms are acceptable for video games.
Proteus is a peaceful first-person exploration game set on a cheery pixellated island. There are no enemies. You can’t die. You can’t jump, shoot, dodge or pick anything up. Your only objective is to roam, observe and enjoy the evolving soundtrack triggered by your path. You’ll encounter more danger doing a lap of Kew Gardens than exploring Proteus’s serene, procedurally generated world.
If you want a very artistically and technically accomplished Doom clone, Prodeus absolutely delivers. Support for fan-made levels can potentially expand your experience somewhat but the option to create your own is missing from this version. Performance on Switch isn’t flawless but it is still very playable and looks great the whole time. While it struggles to find its own identity along the way, and comes off more as an elaborate mod or a fan game than a title of its own, Prodeus does still stand as an solid though unoriginal shooter.
Space Oddity.Like the average Dallas Cowboys fan, the games industry loves to revel in past successes. Remasters and remakes [...]
Bounding Box delivers an anachronistic high-wire act, and the perhaps the best shooter outright since Doom Eternal.
