This is an absolutely wild little boomer shooter that nails its grimy, Lovecraftian aesthetic. The weapons are creative, the enemies are grotesque, and blasting through hordes of eldritch monsters feels just fantastic. The levels are challenging without feeling unfair, rewarding exploration and aggression. It’s short, weird, violent, and packed with personality from start to finish. Yeah, if you like classic Doom-style FPS games, Shrine is an easy recommendation - and it’s free! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3797749352 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3797927006

This is a pretty straightforward Doom-style boomer shooter. Run around, shoot eldritch monsters, find keys, open doors, and repeat. Nothing complicated, but it does the job. I do like the art-style. It's got this weird Lovecraftian, almost grotesque look that gives the game a personality instead of being another Doom reskin. The levels are also surprisingly fun to explore, with plenty of strange environments and secrets. It's not a huge game either, since you can finish it in roughly 1–2 hours depending on how you play. There are a few difficulty spikes toward the end, but overall it's a pretty solid little shooter. Worth playing if you like old-school Doom-style shooters. Not to mention, it's completely free.

One of the best GZDOOM games on the market and its Free, Guns are great, movement is good but I'd recommend hitting caps lock for always run cause the base mobility is far to slow but perfect with always run, good soundtrack, enemies follow the DOOM template to a tee with ur pinkies. lost souls etc with their own animation twist. If i had any complaints its that some enemies don't really use projectiles so in some cases its impossible to read where the enemy will be firing from. It's only a couple but if i had anything to whine about its that. Review Score- 9.5 out of 10

How convenient in a nightmare hell world, there’s just ammo lying on the ground for me to pick up. How thoughtful of these monsters to supply me with the exact tools needed to kill them.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
