It's so simple you wouldn't think it'd be much fun, but it knows how to elevate that concept into something that constantly hooks you into doing 'one more run' -- even if it's an hour past bedtime.

Nightdive's remaster elevates Q2 from being a dated black sheep to something great. Not only does it make Q2's best qualities shine brighter, but it helps you appreciate it in new, different ways, too

If Doom Eternal was too different and weird for your tastes, Prodeus is sure to cure what ails you. The Retro Shooter equivalent of comfort food. Wet, sloppy, messy comfort food.

Shredder's Revenge adds enough combat complexity that it feels great cutting your way through endless waves of Foot Soldier goons. Could use a little more nuance, but it's low-friction fun.
