Pros: ✅ Simplistic story (old school shooter like gameplay where you collect cards to advance). ✅ Decent selection of stages. ✅ Very cheap. ✅ Decent music. ✅ Achievements. Cons: ❌ Some stages are either too long or too short.

Solid boomer shooter. Gameplaywise this leans more towards doom (collect 3 keycards), looks like quake and has solid beats as soundtrack. Some levels are easier some require more searching, its a good mix. had a blast

Not a bad retro shooter. The enemies all have projectiles while you have hitscan, and gunplay ends up feeling like Quake 2. There's a nice variety in enemy types and the weapons get the job done. I always like seeing cityscapes and suburbs rendered in videogames. Now, some downsides. The levels are big, empty arenas with a lot of time spent just walking around the level looking for a key or another portal. Besides some novel setpieces, the levels are fairly linear with little in the way of a dynamic or interesting layout. The whole game is incredibly dark and drab, which makes some firefights difficult. The humor may have been striving for edgy satire but ended up reeking of Qanon more than anything. But it's 99 cents. A lot of effort went into Carnal and it has enough charm to last a few hours.

Very bad FPS in style of 90s boom shooters. Plenty of levels and some variety makes the gameplay somewhat bearable. Not very exciting but it makes up with it's humorous approach. Hard to recommend but there you go, I've seen worse.

This is a soft recommendation. While I overall enjoyed it comes with enough caveats that I could see why someone wouldn't. The main issue being readability; most of the enemies blend in with the background until either you get close enough to them or they start attacking. The map design feels a lot like higher quality mods I have played for other games; interesting layouts and fun combat arenas, but with little sign-posting on where to go. The bosses have little to no feedback when damaging them. The gun-feel is fine, not great, not bad, just fine. As is the movement. But with the price being so cheep and the game being fairly short I think you should just give the game a try.
