Finally managed to beat Synthetik; great game that does play/feel better than screenshots convey. My only gripe is the lack of fleshy enemies that you can eviscerate. But the gun sounds and the exploding robots are well done, its still satisfying to play. The isometric art and design are gorgeous. The balance is a bit uneven and your luck with items can make or break a run, although making do with what you find is half of the fun.

Fighting in some bum like gyms

This was truly a technological leap that felt impressive. Animations, destruction,... Crysis before that. Anything since feels like small steps.

Level #1: Snow & Ice
Level #2: Russia + Generalissimus Stalin
Level #3: Ancient Murals, Mystical Warriors & Gold
Level #4: Big Ancient Trees, Even More Gold & the most retarded secret ever
If you get all secrets (and some of them are super obscure):
Bonus Level becomes available:
Sadly, it's p. shit.
Still, I liked this add-on much more than "Unfinished Business" for TR1.

I played and dropped it after a few hours, pretty popamole. Though the graphics and the overall atmosphere are good.

Real smooth port too.
The story, visuals, atmosphere and vehicle combat I really loved. The combat was OK. Lots of collectible nonsense/tower scaling

Warning: Big Doom dump incoming! Lots of Ribbiks maps because I'm a fanboy.
Crumpets
9 short maps with low monster count but still fairly challenging thx to tight ammo and monster placement.
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
Looks ominous.
Of course!
Pepper
3 maps you have to beat without taking damage. Maximum health is set to 1%.
At first I thought this was a joke. But there is a non-secret orange key hidden in the map that unlocks the BFG. Still... wtf?
Jumpwad
7 maps. No monsters. No weapons. Just collecting gems. Pressing the LMB simulates an Archvile-jump. Very polished level design.
Conveyor belts and ramps.
I had to play this in PrBoom+ because GZDoom can't handle the snow in maps 05 and 06. Even then, there is still a noticeable performance drop. I know, GZDoom lololol. But Eviternity has maps with more and thicker snow than this that run just fine.
Surprise!
The evil eye also behaves like an Archvile, and you have to coordinate the jumps.
Map 07 is great. But this music puzzle at the end is like a middle finger to completionists. Here is what you are expected to do:
Summer of '69
6 maps that weren't good enough for Sunlust.
Some maps have bits and pieces that were reused in Sunlust, like this room.
Here it is in Sunlust.
This map is nearly identical to Sunlust's map 24 but it has a few different fights. I like this ice/glacier theme. Shame it was changed into a standard cave.
Cool effect with teleporting Cacos.
This is still here.
The big slaughter fest at the end is also the same, except for the 5 Archviles that are let loose after you've killed everything.
Map 06 looks like it belongs to Italo Doom. You die within 2 seconds before you even know where to go.
Swim With The Whales
4 very hard, blue maps (except map 01, that's just a walking sim intro).
Really nice of the map to show me exactly how it's going to kill me before I press the switch.
Sunlust (again)
I've been revisiting some megaWADs in order to properly UV-Max them without saves, mainly Eviternity and Ancient Aliens. And since Sunlust is my favorite megaWAD, I should give it the same treatment. I've beaten the first 20 maps, so far, but I'm expecting to run into a brick wall soon (maybe in map 24).
The best kind of secret: Here is a BFG and 2 Megas. You can keep what's left of it if you survive this mess.
Map 15 was the first big jump in difficulty.
The accompanying txt for map 32 is funny:
This fight with the switching Archviles is just fun.
Map 20
Everyone who has played Sunlust should remember this door from map 20.
I still don't have a good strategy for this, except to shoot the Cyberdemon and hope he retaliates before he teleports away. He will hit everything, leaving an "easy" clean-up. If he doesn't cooperate, it's a coin toss.
I like this map, but actually playing it saveless was a bit of a grind thanks to this part.
I'm going to tackle the remaining 10 maps at another time because Doom fatigue is setting in.
Just one more thing...
Overboard
6 new maps by mouldy/Cyriak, the guy who made Going Down. Instead of having to find the keycard for the elevator, you have to find fuel for your boat. Each map consists of one small island with mouldy's typical humor and "chaotic evil" level design.
But wait, there is more!
Map slots 08-14 are NG+ versions of the same maps.
The difference becomes immediately apparent.
Even more chaos.
Then you get to the True Ending with a nod to Going Down fans.
You winned the game!!!
You arrive at home, the same place from Going Down's map 30.
Not again!
Ok, that's enough Doom for now.

Map 07 is great. But this music puzzle at the end is like a middle finger to completionists. Here is what you are expected to do:
Download the midi of this map, open it with a midi editor, read the notes at specific spots based on hints that are scattered in the map, know music theory to somehow translate those notes into the correct numbers.

I used to hate this map because of this Archvile crap at the end. It seemed to be purely based on luck, even with saves. But now I found a consistent method with a near 100% success rate. I still wouldn't call it a great map, but it's not so bad, and I've learned a few things.
This fight with the switching Archviles is just fun.

White Women detected, Kill kill kill! It's Tsukihime remake, Arcuied route!
Dayum, Shiki doesn't fuck around!
She's okay anyways. True ancestors are like op as fuck, also she wants you to help her kill a vampire or she would insta kill you. The vampire must be some sparkling faggot lurking... hiding around.
Actually, no. He's a deranged apostle, one of the twenty-seven dead apostle ancestors. Basically, they were "food" for the true ancestors but they broke free of their influence and do whatever they want.
He's not hiding at all, he doesn't give a fuck.
His actual power is not fire but ice, he just uses fire cause he's always cold and consumes blood for warmth. When he fights Arc he gets mortally wounded, losing all his blood then awakens his true power.
Shiki eventually prevails with the help of Arc. Vlov dies and the random killings in Tokyo stop...
Actually, nope. You get attacked outside your house by a vampire then your teacher saves your ass, revealing that he's a executor from the church. She's disgusted by the fact you're friendly with a vampire. She's not that importart in Arc route.
To be continue...
If you like Visual Novels Tsukihime remake it's honestly quite good. Only one route is translated.

What's the name of the game?
Voyage: Journey to the Moon.
Trigger warning: it's a Microids game with all that entails.
Pretty cool though. Reminds me a little of The Dig.
