It's everything I've ever asked for in a retro FPS and SO much more. This title deserves every ounce of praise it's received.

Movement is tight and fast, enemies are wonderfully varied and challenging, and every single weapon is brutally destructive with amazing audio/visual feedback. Can't stress enough the sound design either, all the guns sound meaty and hard-hitting, the enemies give clear, recognizable cues for all their different attacks, and the music slaps so hard it's actually criminal I haven't bought the soundtrack as of typing this. (by the time you're reading this that will have changed)

Every single level in this first chapter is a different memorable set piece that never drags on or overstays its welcome, being very replayable with their linear yet open designs.
I remember seeing the trailer for this game during Realms Deep 2021 and somehow instantly knew it was exactly what I'd been missing in my life all these years. Ended up sinking nearly 10 hours into its 25 minute-long demo.

My plan now is to have reached 100 hours total by the time Chapter 2 releases. Hold me to it people!
