I think Stygian Revery and Shell Soldier looks promising. But for the Shell game, I think the same way, it's too clean. A game like this needs something special, like complete destruction (Teardown, Selaco, Red Faction etc.) or an physics overkill (Trepang2). These games have surely potential, but at the bottom line, they are very generic and basic. Hope they will get good. Good video Zlim and thx for the info 👍

Totally agree with you! However sometimes just a generic good feeling shooter is all I need haha 😁 But it has to have something to make it stick out from all other games for sure :) Thanks predator ❤️

8:35 I agree damage feedback is super important in shooters. It's so satisfying to shoot enemies in Killing Floor 2 because you can really feel the impact of your weapons. This is one aspect that more developers should focus on

You get some good brownie points for putting CARNAL on here! I've combed through the Steam Library for Retro FPS games many times in the past and CARNAL stood out for being just 1$ or even cheaper during a sale. It's very, very weird and a bit difficult sometimes but I think considering it's super cheap price it's overall a good game. The level themes are nice and the gameplay while nothing mind blowing is simple and fun. An easy recommend from me, plus it's really easy to 100% all the achievements

@@ZlimBratSki HAPPY 12TH YEAR ANYVERSARY DOOM CHAMPIONS SAGA
The Tron one reminds me of Audiosurf (which always reminded me of Tron). 5:18 Another SPAS-12 set on pump mode AND, as per typical, its stock is permanently folded up into its storage position. 9:11 No sights?! If there's no ADS, then it's just an aesthetic choice, but I can't help noticing it. Seems to be a trope that's unique to the 21st century. All the time we're seeing flat-top firearms with Picatinny rails without sights in pop culture (or a fixed front sight but no rear sight). I think I first noticed it on 'The Walking Dead', then realized that it was everywhere. Like, how does anyone (directors, prop masters, etc.) not understand that if a flat-top firearm doesn't already have sights you're expected to get some and put them on there?! Video games get a lot of their bad habits from movies (like leaving folding or collapsible stocks in their storage position for no reason). Edit/Note: And sometimes the prop master remembers to put sights on the gun, but the actors leave the sights folded. Yeah, even sights can fold for storage. 9:42 "Silver Phoenix" reminds me of "Red Falcon" from Contra! 10:15 'WALL-E' meets Serious Sam! 10:33 Retro "record player" style of machine gun, maybe?! Like a Lewis Gun or a DP-series machine gun. The DP was muh fave in Red Orchestra 2.

Also: Hyperviolent, Trepang2 (Fear on steroids), Fortune's Run, Incision, The Invincible, Arthurian Legends, COVEN, Exophobia, Voltage High Society. We are being spoiled these days.

That Stygian Revery game also looks like something I'd like if it ever comes out.

I played the demo and it was actually really good and I can't wait for the full version.

"Doomed"? Seriously? That's like me making an FPS and calling it "Call Of Dutied". Like come on lol.
