    Forgive Me Father 2 just gets it. Fast paced and addictive shooting gameplay. Intricately crafted levels packed with secrets. A Metal soundtrack that gets the blood pumping. And a gorgeous comic book art style. This is just a pure, unadulterated video game.

    Forgive Me Father 2 really irritated me. I wanted to like that game, but the restricted loadout and the fact that you can only change it at the shop forced me to just scrap hours of progress to go back to the shop and swap out weapons or spells to get past tough spots. unrelated snowbunny

    I put off playing Forgive Me Father because I assumed it was a survival horror game. Wow, was I mistaken! It's an arena shooter with a groovy comicbook art style and distinct upgrade paths. I dig it! Also, I can shotgun Lovecraftian fish guys in the face! 5/5!

    Forgive Me Father was definitely the best of the three games that I played. Its basically lovecraftian Doom. I can see why people like it so much, but I found the storytelling a bit thin, plus it's hard. I'm not good at games anymore and hate repeating levels like a half dozen times

    5. Forgive Me Father [PS5 - Plat] Date: 1/8/26 Length: 21 hours Rating: 2.5/5 ~ FMF is a boomer shooter with literpg elements, based in a Eldritch horror world. The game itself is fun but there’s a large amount of slow downs and framerate dips that were really annoying. Load times were long also

    Forgive Me Father is an absolute banger that mixes boomer shooter gameplay with an eldritch horror aesthetic. It's visceral as hell as you can see below with the paint job I gave that hallway. The enemy variety does an excellent job keeping the game exciting. I badly want to play the second game!

    Your art style here really reminds me of the game Forgive Me Father — like literally I wouldn’t have been surprised if this was an enemy or something in the game. Lovecraftian+Victorian mix would be a very cool mix for a big game dev project… you have me yearning for something I’d never thought of.
