Scathe

In all the right and wrong ways, Scathe is an old-school shooter with a modern look plus a brutal experience. If you have a few friends and a free weekend, get online and start blasting like it’s the 90’s.

Scathe is pretty good but it has its faults. If you give it a shot, you should be pleasantly entertained during its 10 hour runtime.

A boiling pot of good mixed with questionable ingredients

Scathe has everything you can expect from a DOOM/DOOM Eternal emulator, but it has several structural flaws that make it a hellish FPS in which you shoot well but you don't have much fun.

Scathe is a really good action FPS game that can give you a real run for your money. Hordes of enemies, killer music, gallons of blood, and piles of dead bodies—this game has it all. You can invite up to four friends to join you on your bloody adventure. If you like a challenge, you can try playing this game with a controller.

Scathe is a serviceable shooter with a few nice touches, but there's little to set it apart from other Doom-likes.

Scathe is definitely not flawless. The bosses aren't great, optimization could use some work, and the music, while good, lacks variety. But traversing the infernal labirint and slaughtering dozens of demons is good fun, the guns feel satysfying to use, and the game definitely knows how to keep you on your toes.

You're trapped in a maze-like Hell in Scathe, but while the shooting is solid, the rest of the game may put you into a haze.

While the gameplay concept of a labyrinthine shooter holds some promise, the gunplay is flat and mowing through enemies is extremely tedious. On top of this, graphics and some technical issues make Scathe feel rather rough around the edges.

Scathe has a lot of clever and interesting ideas. Unfortunately, it's the execution that lets it down. Somewhere underneath the agonizingly-slow progression, pointless plot, and a visual mess as a result of its desire to also be a bullet hell, Scathe is a game with potential that's sadly never reached.
