The WhatsNext verdict

For Fans of classic 90s retro FPS games who crave blisteringly fast movement, punchy weapons, and occult horror.: Masterfully channels the speed, labyrinthine level craft, and visceral gunplay of legendary boomer shooters into an intense, cohesive campaign. Tradeoff: The relentless velocity and lack of modern navigation markers or mid-fight checkpoints can feel disorienting and exhausting.

What it does best

  • Fluid bunny-hopping and acrobatic flips that make high-speed traversal a constant joy

  • An industrial metal score by Andrew Hulshult that perfectly fuels the chaotic violence

  • Intricate, secret-filled levels that shift from rustic farmlands to abstract dreamscapes

What might put you off

  • Extremely retro, low-fidelity polygonal graphics with a heavy brown-and-gray color palette

  • A perceived lack of visceral impact and weight in some of the weapon feedback
