Old and out of the loop gamer here - used to love FPS games but quit playing them when Counterstrike was new.

What’s uh… what’s going on? I keep seeing trailers for new FPS games that look like they’re running the original Doom or Rise of the Triad engines. Somebody help me understand.

There’s been a resurgence of retro throwback shooters. The first one I noticed was with STRAFE, which released (to a rocky start) back in 2017. It’s a brilliant game now, mind you.

You may also want to check out:

  • DUSK
  • Turbo Overkill
  • GTTOD
  • SPRAWL
  • Prodeus
  • Ion Fury
  • Selaco
  • Ultrakill

I’m sure I’m missing some great ones from this list.

Don’t forget Amid Evil and Cultic, they’re probably the 2 best boomer shooters.

these graphics seem like Quake 1 to me. Maybe the focus is on fun?

This one literally runs on Quake 1 engine (albeit improved)

3D Realms, today a publishing label by Embracer Group, focuses on retro games. Just like 10 or so years ago pixel art games had a resurgence, since about 5 years old school FPS games came back as well. This is both a path to reduce workload as well as a gameplay design choice.

3D Realms’ annual event, Realms Deep, is the biggest showcase for such games.
