Boltgun plays like DOOM 2016 but if it had the skin of a retro shooter based in the 40k universe.

You can pet dogs in this game. They are not good dogs and will try to lick you all the time, so they need to be pet with a chainsword.

I found that the best tactic to use when encountering an aspiring champion at close range while having low health and the invulnerability skill on cooldown is to come to terms with one's own mortality and accept death. Then I learned that you can run in this game. It would have been nice to know this before completing the main campaign, DLC and horde mode on exterminatus difficulty.

Things I Liked: -The first level is an Easter egg/tribute to the original Doom from '93 to where the game takes heavy inspiration. -In the settings, there is an option to adjust the "retro" and "pixels" which makes the game look great whether you like old/newer sharper pixels. -Played exclusively on a handheld (ROG Ally Z1) and it was perfect. -The controls are easy to learn and work very well with a controller. -The environment and overall atmosphere. -Secrets to be found on each map. -Ability to ping a temporary navigation line encase you get lost via button press. -The Music/Soundtrack. -The enemy variation. -Weapons are satisfying and feel great. -Auto-save feature. -The melee and movement. -Ability to taunt. -Achievements. -Price seems fair especially the bundle. Things I Didn't Like:

The game fully supports ultra-wide. It's an exciting shooter with decent retro visuals & music. I liked the variety in weapons. It's fun to use them in different situations. The game lets you to be quite creative in how you prefer to deliver justice, maintain peace and be efficiently diplomatic. But of course, honorable mention goes to the chainsword. Played it on normal difficulty, I didn't want to stress myself over health & ammo. I just wanted to have fun with some excitement and difficulty curve towards the end & bosses. And the game delivered exactly that. I absolutely recommend it!
