Forgive Me Father is one of those games that fans of retro first person shooters will adore. It has everything, from fast action to brilliantly hand-drawn graphics to a superb soundtrack.

There’s a high chance that you’ll find the controls of Ultimate General: Gettysburg to be a big issue; one that will affect your enjoyment of the game over its campaign running time.
