A perfectly playable, solid "boomer shooter" that falls apart a bit in the final acts. You start to see signs of a rush job as you reach the fifth episode, like secret rooms that show up on the map, enemies with pathing glitches, and a softlock on a particular waterfront stage.

Even so, I get the itch at regular intervals to play '90s-style shooters, and Project Warlock is a perfectly decent example. It's not too long, it's nicely varied, it's got some creepy monsters, and the weapon "upgrade" system just gives you a ton of potential variety in your arsenal. It's worth picking up.
