Project Remedium

A solid vision is spoiled by shaky implementation. The visual and art team deserves awards, but the confusing interface, bad translations, missing parts, and bad bugs make this feel like an early access game. Fun weapons, few enemies, and a huge number of "side mission" style quests make the otherwise beautiful world feel like empty filler.

The story of "Project Remedium" is set inside the body of a young girl, presenting a unique premise that unfortunately suffers from execution issues, including repetitive fetch quests and a lack of meaningful narrative development. While some players appreciate the initial concept and atmospheric elements, many criticize the linear mission structure, bugs that hinder quest completion, and overall disjointed storytelling. Despite its potential, the game struggles to maintain player engagement due to its tedious gameplay and unresolved narrative threads.
- “Project Remedium is a story-driven FPS with an Osmosis Jones/Fantastic Voyage theme, as the FPS levels are set inside the human body.”
- “The story is very interesting, and the denouement was satisfying and conclusive.”
- “The story is that you are a nano-bot injected into a little girl who is suffering from some unknown illness.”
- “The story doesn't make much sense; you are the only nanorobot sent inside the body, but all of a sudden you see a lot of nanorobots inside that have created factories.”
- “The idea of this game is good, but the playing experience is pretty bad and more story detail is needed.”
- “There weren't any real story developments, nor gameplay developments other than getting the 'hook', with which you can quickly traverse the terrain... why linking those two together is supposed to be a good idea is beyond me.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it poor, shallow, and poorly executed despite some interesting concepts like the grappling hook mechanic. While the game features a unique premise and some enjoyable mechanics, such as a skill tree and crafting system, the overall experience is marred by clunky controls, lack of clear instructions, and uninspired level design. Players express frustration with the game's performance issues and the feeling that the gameplay fails to deliver on its potential, leading to a disappointing experience.
- “Sort of get a Ratchet and Clank vibe with pure FPS gameplay.”
- “Some solid gameplay feel and control.”
- “The exploration inside of the human body is a great environment to wrap all this gameplay within and makes for a very enjoyable time that I keep coming back to over and over.”
- “Sadly, the gameplay is poor and shallow, the narration is boring, the voiceover is unfortunately low quality, the level design, although interesting, is finally uninspired and messy. A pro art direction and a gameplay with more punch could have given a AAA-class FPS.”
- “The gameplay is seriously lacking and the performance is terrible.”
- “The plot is alright in the start, but not enough to really be the focus, so it falls to the gameplay, and unfortunately, everything about it felt 'off' to me.”

The graphics in the game are a mixed bag, featuring a distinctive aesthetic that captures the nano-scale environment inside a human body, enhanced by Unreal Engine 4's lighting and shaders. While some players find the visuals impressive and immersive, others criticize the low polygon models and performance issues that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game's visuals are noted for their uniqueness and beauty, but they are hampered by technical limitations and gameplay concerns.
- “The visuals are impressive and the ambient music helps immerse.”
- “The subsequent levels never falter and the whole game's visual aspect is breathtaking, yet always visually coherent with the anatomical aesthetic.”
- “I really think this game nailed the visuals, and this will definitely be a hallmark for games set inside a human body.”
- “The 3D models seem to be low polygon and remind me of Unreal 1 or Unreal 2 era gaming graphics, except there is hardly any ambience to give you a sense that you're inside a human body.”
- “At default graphical settings (maxed but with medium anti-aliasing), I was seeing ~30fps on a system that can get 60+ in games like Witcher 3 and GTA V. The game looks pretty, but doesn't justify this framerate on my system.”
- “The main menu is a bit drab and lacks an aesthetic theme/design.”

The game's optimization is widely criticized, with players reporting severe performance issues such as low frame rates, long loading times, and audio stuttering. Despite some visual appeal, the overall experience is marred by technical flaws, leading many to find it unplayable or frustrating. While there have been minor improvements post-launch, significant optimization work is still needed for a better gameplay experience.
- “The interface is pretty straightforward and easy to navigate now that a couple of patches have been released, and the game runs smoothly with high FPS (GTX 1070) at 1440p and maxed out quality.”
- “By defeating the enemies, you can collect weapon parts that are used to unlock new weapons (3 of each kind) and upgrade them for better performance in combat.”
- “Ambient occlusion is one that hits GPUs fairly hard with minimal benefit; many like to disable it for significant performance gains.”
- “However, as you spend more time playing this, the flaws in gameplay and technical aspects become more apparent from the poor optimization, very long loading times, and inventory items can't be slotted properly or stacked.”
- “Decided to give this game a chance again after more than 2 years, but nope, still terribly optimized (and I have a much more powerful PC now).”
- “The game, unfortunately, is poorly optimized with FPS dipping low constantly and motion blur not being deactivatable.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and immersive qualities, with dynamic transitions from ambient to battle music that enhance the gameplay experience. While the ambient tracks are atmospheric and tailored to each level, some players noted occasional mismatches in battle music cues. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout feature, complementing the impressive visuals and action.
- “The visuals are impressive and the ambient music helps immerse.”
- “The music is a standout though, it's really good.”
- “The music is dynamic in the way that the ambient music will morph into battle music when a fight occurs, and this works really well most of the time.”
- “Occasionally, battle music will start when no enemies are close by, but it does give you a heads up that enemies are indeed approaching.”
- “The ambiance, the music, the world, the idea.”

- “There's not really much replayability here; you'll most likely have unlocked just about all upgrades and skills by the end of the game. However, there are secrets and achievements to unlock.”
