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.

What are your three favorite boomer shooters in no particular order?

First, I’d have to thank Warhammer 40K Boltgun for bringing me back to the fold.

Second, I’d thank Doom(2016) for kinda filling in and keeping interest alive.

Third, I’d go back to the first 3D shooter I bought, Heretic.
