Boomer shooter meets Ghostrunner.

If DOOM (2016) is "Scream Bloody Gore", Doom Eternal is "The Sound of Perseverance".

If Grindhouse fake trailers were a video game set in WWI.

"Carefully release the hinges": Task failed successfully.

Longer and harder than I expected, and that's never a bad thing.

Company: "Hey look, we used AI to create some of the art faster, but we didn't fire our artists - here, the artists themselves can explain it to cover our behinds."

The artists: "Hi. We used AI to create content for the game faster, to help with composition, colours and lighting (basically the entire content of an image), but we do not create assets wholesale with AI."

What they actually said: "Hey, we used AI to help 1 person do the work of 2-3 people for us instead of hiring more unemployed artists."

Sure. Did the artist get 3x the money for doing it 3x as fast or did the billion dollar company just save money for themselves?

I think we know the answer.

Souls-like with Bloodborne dodge set in a crumbling factory environment where zombies, machines, and zombie machines controlled by a rogue AI are your enemies.

Body part targeting and finishing moves are interesting, sliding attack is very satisfying and you'll want to do it over and over again. Scrap (XP) multiplier is neat. Implants, armour and weapons allow you to build a playstyle that suits you best, whether it's a quick dodgy bastard with high HP recovery or an absolute tank that could stagger a Clegane family member.

Some levels, especially "Central Production B", have a nice horror atmosphere and multiple shortcuts that loop back to the main checkpoint. There is also some backtracking mid-game after you unlock certain doors.

You'll get hit a couple of times before figuring out dodge timings against a few enemies with counterintuitive moves, but once you figure them out they're a cakewalk.

I recommend the DLC bundle. There are 5 bosses in the main game, 2 more in "A walk in the Park" DLC and a bunch of repeatable challenges with modifiers in "The Good, The Bad and The Augmented" DLC that reward you with new implants.

Make sure to collect everything you can before the final boss "Rogue Process", since beating it sends you to New Game Plus right away.

2018: This looks interesting, might try it someday. Beautiful artstyle.
2021: Tried, not bad. Might revisit.
2023: Hm...yeah, not bad.
2024: I'm a bloody battering ram, that's what I am!

Simple, well made and consistent with the lore. Repetitive.
Like the wasteland resources, take it in short rations.
