Boomer Shooter

"Boomer Shooters" are a sub-genre of first-person shooter (FPS) games, known for harking back to the fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled action of 1990s classics like DOOM, Quake, and Duke Nukem. They emphasize run-and-gun gameplay, maze-like level design, and an arsenal of diverse weapons. With little regard for realism, these games prioritize explosive action, non-linear exploration, and often feature fantastical, over-the-top enemies and environments.

I played it. It's alright, but it doesn't do much to shake up the variety. New enemies aren't often introduced, and the game isn't terribly difficult, so you end up going through most levels pretty mindlessly.
