Holy fuck, what a game. End of Starchild was none of what I was expecting it to be, but still blew me away regardless. Despite a fairly short runtime, what's here is polished down to the absolute finest detail, beautiful and varied levels with a fully custom enemy roster and fun weapon changes, a great sense for fun and challenging encounter design, vibes I haven't felt in ANY game for a LONG long time, fucking INCREDIBLE music around every corner, and a crazy amount of extra content that goes much deeper than I first imagined it would. EoS isn't easy to finish, and I don't just mean because it's pretty hard. If you truly want to see everything there is you'll be spending a long time immersing yourself in these maps, and probably get a bit frustrated at times, but it's worth it. Doom fans, general FPS enjoyers, even just people wanting a unique and striking personal art project, please, please, PLEASE do yourself a favor and give this one a look. I promise it'll be worth your time. This game will stick with me for a long time to come, and the void I now have inside me after having finished absolutely everything is gonna take a while to heal up.
