Critic Reviews
ROOT Review (PC)
ROOT is a hard first-person shooter, an experience clearly designed for players who love the classics of the genre and feel that modern releases are too cinematic and too focused on narrative for their good. For players who are ready to accept that death will be a constant companion and that the level design can often be convoluted, the title offers a few hours of fun and tension. The highlight is the way the game can transition from stealth to full combat in small places very quickly, with the firefights often won by the smallest of margins. Multiplayer would have also been interesting, given the very tight core mechanics and the way Deep Fried Enterprises can create intricate mazes for gamers to explore. ROOT is offered on the PC, Mac and Linux for 9.99 dollars or Euro, and the low price is one reason for long-time fans of the first-person shooter genre to try the experience created by Deep Fried Enterprises out and find a way to deal with its challenging levels.

Off the bat, I had a bad feeling about Deep Fried Enterprises’ ROOT as soon as I clicked play and the only option I had under “Graphics Options” was “On.”

Root Digital is another phenomenal adaptation that I have just scratched the surface of. The game has lowered the barrier of entry for many fans, and there are hours of fun challenges that I will enjoy continuing to explore. With a few small tweaks from the developer, this could be one of the best digital board games on the market.
