Boomer Shooter

"Boomer Shooters" are a sub-genre of first-person shooter (FPS) games, known for harking back to the fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled action of 1990s classics like DOOM, Quake, and Duke Nukem. They emphasize run-and-gun gameplay, maze-like level design, and an arsenal of diverse weapons. With little regard for realism, these games prioritize explosive action, non-linear exploration, and often feature fantastical, over-the-top enemies and environments.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Forgive Me Father, it's got excellent pacing, very pleasant to look at art style, the weapons are satisfying to use, the upgrades system and choice of two protagonists makes for good replayability, and the soundtrack is an absolute banger!

I can’t wait until Forgive Me Father II is released.

I had fun with Warhammer 40K Boltgun and Doom (2013… 2018?… the recent one)
