Satisfying gunplay, guns have great impact and sounds, and it feels great to dome dudes.

The retro soundtrack and visuals add to the nostalgic appeal it tries to put on.

It's an incredibly fun, bombastic shooter with addictive, chaotic combat and a kickass soundtrack.

Given my specs (i5-13600K, RTX 4070 Ti, 32GB DDR5 RAM), there is no reason for this game to lag.

Beating Rainbow Six Vegas 2 on Veteran difficulty, playing through Crysis 3 Supersoldier difficulty (The best difficulty setting in any video game ever imo), getting through the surface level of Metro Last Light on Spartan difficulty with 3 bullets remaining and a sliver of health, and beating the Path of Pain in Hollow Knight after 5 hours.
