Eh. They can be fun for a bit, but it’s either super easy or require too much active attention. I got a full time job now and I’m just not looking for an “all gas” game when I actually have time to sit down and play one. If I play any shooter nowadays, it’s gotta have something else besides running and gunning to keep me engaged while I play.
Might give CULTIC a try, then. It’s essentially a Build engine game along the lines of Blood with large maps that typically allow for some degree of nonlinearity and exploration. You end up with quiet periods of sneaking around and exploring to break up the combat segments.
Otherwise I’d say you can’t hardly beat the new Wolfenstein games. Varied gameplay, an actually decent plot, and when has shooting Nazis not been as American as apple pie? The first one hasn’t aged as well as the second on PC though. I get occasional frame drops and other oddities, but I suppose that could be an Intel drivers thing. Those idTech engines haven’t aged super great.
How do you like boomer shooters?
