Previously I did a playthrough of Prodeus and I said it was one of the best new old-school type fps games.. but it's not the best, because that of course is ultrakill. I've been playing this on and off for a while now, I've got just over 30 hours in the game, still a lot to get better at not to mention there's several things I haven't even figured out yet. For example only yesterday I figured out you could insta kill mindflayer with the shotgun explosion or malicious face with piercer and parry. I also struggle a bit with timing the dash, slide movement boosts consistently still, while core detonation is something I barely use because I haven't tried it enough etc.

I've gotten all secrets that are tracked here and just included as many challenges as I could be bothered with. Skipped the secret levels as well with exception of 0-S. Most of this gameplay is awful compared to what it could be, some of it is less shit than other parts, but I'm happy I managed to get through it in about 90 minutes without routing this much at all. The worst parts were dying once to each V2 boss, but at least I got gabriel (though missed out on p-rank on the last one).

I'd like to do a 100% speedrun one day, but it requires quite a bit of effort so I'm not sure if that will happen. I've completed the game with all P-ranks and challenges, but the problem is mainly going fast instead of slow :) I've got lots to improve on, maybe I'll give it a try at some point, perhaps when the game is finished, no idea.

Anyways in case you haven't played this game then unless you hate fps games there's no reason why you would ever not play this. If you played this game and hate it because of 4-S then that's ok.

Thanks for watching.

Some comments:
0-2: Actually the hardest boss in the game for me currently.
0-5: Messed up and wasn't even close to getting the challenge.
1-4: Failed to time the dash so I took 50 damage followed up with a bit unfortunate damage from V2.
2-1: Extra careful to make sure I get all the enemies.
2-3: Was supposed to clear the water control by the exit first, so I ended up forgetting about the enemies at the start.
4-1: Forgot about the last secret, got the challenge though because of it.
4-2: Also forgot a secret, no idea why I bothered getting the secret exit afterwards too. I know I could of done the red and blue skull with dual wield and still got the boss, but I've never tried it so I just wanted to make sure I got the challenge.
4-3: This was a disaster, not sure if you can get to the dual wield once you've activated all 4 pillars, so had to reset and then I missed activating one pillar so I was confused for a bit. I'll be happy with surviving the final fight. Skipped the optional boss as I only tried it once so that would be even worse.
4-4: If only I knew how to aim this wouldn't have been a problem.
5-1: Forgot the first secret.
5-3: Happy I didn't miss any enemies.
5-4: Apparently the timing of my first attack wasn't very good.
6-2: Took too much damage for P-rank, also didn't get the challenge which is pretty easy. Should have used the blue railgun and parried his attack in the second phase instead. Also forgot you can't skip the dialouge the first time you get there.
