A high 3, though: this is a surprisingly good first effort for a young programmer, taking the classic flat FPS a la Wolfenstein 3D and expanding on it with new weapons, better enemy variety and magic while keeping the large enemy counts and lots of secrets.

It's got a few rookie blunders like some poor optimisation (I had to run it in Low detail on an RTX 2080) and some balacing issues but looking at the Steam page for PW2 I can see that these are all known, and in hand. Can't wait.

Great buy at three pounds or so on the Steam sale. Give it a go if you need to shoot some stuff.
