I love oldschool FPS’s, but somehow the whole boomer shooter resurgence just passed me by. I just finished Boltgun on the hardest difficulty and had a great time, would love to hear some other suggestions

ULTRAKILL is the most fun I’ve had with an oldschool FPS in ages. The difficulty ramps up perfectly, it’s super approachable for new players, and the skill ceiling for what you can do when you’re good is absolutely insane. The soundtrack is also fire.

Clips like this make me want to do another playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdHVt7cTwXc

As mentioned here, DUSK is GOATed I can personally attest to that.

ULTRAKILL i need to spend more time in, loved what i played but i haven’t had the time to perfect my play in it

CULTIC! It’s a bit more horror-inspired than Boltgun and it’s just wonderful. Also comes with a pretty fun survival mode where you fight waves and use money to buy equipment.

Dusk is probably the most popular one. It’s a spiritual successor to Quake that succeeds it in every way.

Both those look awesome! Dusk especially looks right up my alley, but I just bought both on Steam, will be starting with dusk tonight :)

DUSK and CULTIC come to mind. The original 1993 DOOM and 1996 Quake are also absolutely still worth playing, but it sounds like you may have already played them. Maybe Post Void, Cruelty Squad, or HROT if those seem up your alley.

I’ve heard great stuff about ULTRAKILL, but I would wait for it to leave early access before getting it.

Fwiw, Ultrakill is essentially a complete experience as-is. It is early access, but it’s the kind of early access where I’d have gladly paid even if it was only the current content.
