“Boomer shooter” is the latest term to follow the likes of “Roguelike” or “Soulslike” in the realm of hyperspecific gaming subgenres. It applies to first-person shooters that intentionally harken back to the classic PC games of the late ‘90s like Doom and Quake.
I didn’t realize that made it irrelevant. Especially when I’m using it to lead in to three other articles that are all based on that article, and one of the games that falls in the class of this article has been released today.
More that the article being a few years old means it’s missed out on a number of notable releases in the interim.
The good news for you is I posted two articles since then. https://lemmy.ninja/post/14972 https://lemmy.ninja/post/18150
Now you’re up to date.
