I got this game for 3 bucks as part of a Fanatical "easter egg" mystery code promo. It's... fine? It's fine. I had to laugh at the game's undeserved sense of bravado, like "FUCK YEAH, 90s FPS GAMES ARE BACK!!!" 90s FPS games have been back for quite some time. "THIS GAME MIGHT BE TOO HARDCORE FOR BABY MODERN GAMERS..." It was actually pretty easy.

All that said, I think there's a level of competence and sincerity here that you can't take for granted now that there are a million boomer shooters to pick from. It's definitely not worth the full asking price of 15 bucks, but for three bucks it was a pleasant surprise. The shooting feels good, the movement feels good, the music is decent, the dialogue for the hero is endearingly cheesy (they LOVE saying motherfucker in this game), all-around the game gets the job done. A store-brand candy bar of a video game.

Esteticamente se mira muy bueno, pero ya al momento de jugarlo me pareció muy simple y sin alma, parecia que tenía mucho potencial y se quedo super corto :/

My lawyers advised me to say that i am not saying this is a scam, but it certainly has the feel of a game quickly slapped together to cash in on the boomer shooter trend. Awful in every way. Mercifully short, but naming the achievement for finishing the less than two hour game "That's It?" feel like an insult.

Doesn't even feel much like a 90's FPS it's proudly proclaiming to be as much as it feels like one of the shittier Painkiller expansions or one of those cheap 2000's budget FPS games made by a studio in Eastern Europe.

It looks like there's a lot of attitude, but there's not really a lot of anything.

Bro wanna be DOOM 2016 soooooooo bad 💀
