I'm not opposed to the game's style or gameplay, I found it promising.
FYI, I only played on the normal difficulty.
The following is a list of subjective criticisms that are worded as to be positive, not derogatory:
Performance
-Immediately, the game has somewhat choppy performance (10-15 FPS), nominally, a user would be able to see what affects performance, I suspect there's some code that is lagging the process or a lack of performance-enhancing techniques (LOD, for example).
-Hit detection, possibly as a result of the aforementioned, is incredibly iffy, and some weapons are coin-tosses whether the enemy will get hit, and further if you'll be able to tell that they have (the blood damage effect doesn't appear consistently).
-The melee alt-fire on the shotgun seems incredibly specific, in case the game is using raycasts, make sure that there's multiple well-ranged raycasts rather than one short raycast.
Weapon Balancing
-The machinegun and revolver (later, dual revolvers wink wink) share the same range and use, with the damage of the latter balancing the fire rate of the former, with the revolver(s) seeming to have a higher DPS.
-Additionally, the alt fire of the machinegun has the most shotty hit detection, and has quite the low usage regardless.
-The super shotgun is underwhelming, it's mostly worse than the default shotgun (imo).
Enemy Balancing

weirdly tanky and small flying enemy with high damage
incredibly annoying small swarm enemies (well known in quakelikes obv)
shotgun enemy can borderline snipe you, and is extremely oppressive.
In return, you're better off cheesing the game and sniping the enemies rather than risking yourself by moving in.
Last note
The level design feels made not in tandem with the movement, it feels very small and claustrophobic, restricting your movement, additionally, the movement is too precise to be smooth.
in other words, skill issue lmao
Overall, I'm excited to see where the game goes, though it was a bit infuriating to me.
