You prefer Ultrakill because it reminds you of Doom Eternal I prefer Boltgun because it reminds me of Doom The Dark Ages We are exactly the same

You pull the trigger heresy explodes. You stop moving you die. You think you’re done the game spawns 20 more cultists. It looks like Doom had a baby with Warhammer 40K and raised it on pure rage. The bolter feels illegal, the soundtrack hates silence, and subtlety was executed for heresy. You don’t play Boltgun to take cover. You play it to erase everything on screen in the name of the Emperor. Final score: Gun feel: 11/10 Movement: never stop Enemy count: excessive (good) Lore accuracy: PURGE APPROVED Still playing? Yes. Because mercy is heresy. 🔥⚔️

I can give it the flimsiest "buy it at 85% off" recommendation, and only because it is so pretty. The art style is amazing, the guns are punchy, the jibs are crunchy - everything is good there. The problem is in how it plays. This game consists of arena fights and everything else. The “everything else” part is a nothingburger. When the game doesn’t lock you in with mobs, you can literally bunnyhop past all of them right to the next arena. In fact, that’s exactly what I did for the lulz when the tedium was getting unbearable in the latter part of the game - it took no skill whatsoever. The only noteworthy things in this part of the game are the “where-the-hеll-do-I-go” moments. Some levels are atrocious about this - my headcanon is that Grand Elevator was either not tested at all or made terrible as a joke; there is no other explanation. Just turn on the navigation help in the options - I wish I had known it was there before the penultimate level. Arena fights are mostly fine in episode one, but past that, it’s really just “spawn gazillion monsters at absolute random plus one ridiculous bullet sponge, repeat ad nauseam.” Proper encounter design is not a thing here. Here’s how it goes: you just find a narrow corner to destroy the small mobs in, and then you play peekaboo with the bullet sponge for eternity - that’s all it is. The game saved the worst for last; it has one of the most tiring final bosses in recent memory. Not difficult - tiring. They lovingly collected all the garbage final boss clichés and threw them in here. All at once. You have to deplete his million-HP health bar three times. He teleports around way too big of an arena, and you have to go around looking for him. He spawns all the other million-HP minibosses, and is invulnerable while you kill them. He spawns so many small mobs that the image on screen turns into a sensory overload incomprehensible clusterf*ck, and the framerate dips into single digits (Steam Deck Verified my аss). Meanwhile, the arena is absolutely drowning in supplies and healing items to “balance” all of the above, I guess. By the third health bar, I was begging for that war of attrition purgatory to finally end. Devs, please, practice at least some restraint. Just because you can throw a thing in doesn’t mean you should. Or better yet - hire someone who knows what they’re doing to design the encounters for you. ====== Oh, and turn on Toggle Run in options, it is really should be on by default.

Only 12.5% of the people that own this game have completed it. And that reason is the lack of a soundtrack and the lack of enemy variety. If you've played the first hour, you've seen all you have to see of the game. But...it's still a good game. Even better if you lap Doom's 2016 soundtrack over it.
