Genre: Shooter

It’s hard to not say “more of the same but a little less compelling”. Awesome art, music, VA and world design. A little let down by its story, at least compared to its predecessor, but still good.

It’s hard to overstate DOOM’s significance and influence. Revolutionary.

Roguelike classic. Awesome styling and tonnes of replayability. Lots of depth, enough RNG to keep you coming back, and cool secrets. Hard at first, but if you like roguelikes, you know the drill.

Really well stylised extraction shooter dripping with atmosphere. Has a bit of a cheaters problem, but nothing close to unplayable. If you’re into the genre, it’s absolutely worth a look.

As a huge fan of the first Quake, at the time I never quite knew what to make of this. The setting & theme shift was bold but respectable. Sadly this release doesnt have music, which IMO was integral.

A lot of the magic of the first one is gone and unfortunately it’s just kind of… uninspiring. For everything it does well, there are two things it doesn’t. Worth a look on sale.

Fast and well-polished roguelike that revels in letting the player break the game. Very satisfying and addictive, and even more fun with friends. Great value - just get it.

Impossibly good looking, creative worldbuilding & visual design, considering its a studio debut. Combat is cool, exploration is OK, puzzles are varied and good. English VA is intolerable. Pretty cool.

Loses some of the fat of its predecessor, and takes a bunch from DOOM (2016). Undoubtedly fun, but cringey dialogue and characters can sometimes make it a bit hard.

Extremely well put-together, heavily story-driven roguelite, doubly impressive as a studio debut. Great world, intuitive and satisfying combat, and noteworthy sound design. Good challenge & very fun.
