Dusk is so good, i played through it on the steamdeck. I tried ultrakill but it was a lot more challenging and I gave up lol.

The term boomer shooter is just ... really? Like why?

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Because "Gen X shooter" doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way, and because they had their resurgence at a time when "boomer" was coming into its own as a more generic term for "old".

It’s boomer because things go boom it’s a reaction name for looter shooter.

I saw overwhelmingly positive so I bought it. It has been a blast!

When the free HD DLC section is filled with people BEGGING to pay someone for their work, you know you've found something good

David Szymanski’s Dusk, Indefatigable’s Amid Evil, and Arsi ‘Hakita’ Patala’s Ultrakill are once again offered together as the publisher’s defining trilogy of FPS games. With respective Steam review scores of 97%, 94%, and 98%, they’re three of the most must-play games.....
