Project Downfall Critic Reviews

Overall, Project Downfall succesffuly presents a challenging first person alternative to Hotline Miami, showcasing fun updated gameplay that many old-school shooters paved the way for. The story having a branch narrative with multiple endings is great and I'm definitely going back to see all them but the lack of an interesting plot does stop it from being perfect. Some irritations with AI, lighting, and some gameplay mechanics hold it back, but there's enough here to keep you playing and smashing heads in the name of John Wickian Justice.

A first person shooter that is perhaps a little too focused on style over substance, this is still worth investigating for fans of the genre.

Project Downfall is one of those games that doesn't give much hype and is for players who like challenges that involve improving scores. His proposal is a mix of John Wick with retro aesthetics in a very psychedelic world. It's a frustrating game with just enough difficulty to make it entertaining.

Project Downfall’s clunky and contradictive gameplay is the least of its worries when it’s also abysmally copying games that do the same much better. The disingenuous attempt at edginess and lack of originality make this worth nobody’s time.
