It's Quake 1.
You still could go wrong, but the maps are generally enjoyable ( if sometimes a bit too crusty ) and the vibe is perfectly on point. A bass boosted, breakcore funk infused soundtrack completes the most insane package I've played to date

Even if not 100% perfect, the ease of setting up a multiplayer match with your buddies and the availability of the original version make this a +1

A faster, shinier take on FlatOut 1.

Ultimate Carnage might be a bit more modern and feature more AIs on screen, but 2 is the eternal classic that also benefits from years of modding community contributions

The premise is simple : Displace a set of terrain nodes to guide the little physics based vehicles to the goal.

There's an element of replayability to beating your own time as well as trying to stretch the budget as much as possible, which makes tinkering with displacement until you find the perfect and cheapest solution extra satisfying

The "Farm Road" level in particular is where this principle hit : no fluking, all good game here.

Endearingly crusty looking on the outside, infinitely loveable always.

I'm still pretty early on so I haven't yet enjoyed all the game has to offer. But so far it checks all the right boxes.

Big, fat levels that yet are hard to get lost in
Decently punchy guns and LUDICROUS GORE as a reward for a few well placed headshots
Enemies will have you thinking about your positioning pretty often, as they *will* approach from multiple angles and mess you up.

Being the cheapskate that I am, I have never been a fan of the idea that a game can be so cheap you can't possibly go wrong by buying it.

Why say this?
Because Zortch's strength is not its (extremely generous) price point

It took a moment to figure out *what* made this game click, but once I got in the groove of using all the alt-fires and mobility options at my disposal, combat became fun - and pushing through the three episodes no longer a chore

The game is fairly short and stays sweet throughout, I definitely recommend checking it out if you're intro retro shooters

I don't click with the way it tries to do its things.

Mandatory PSN account requirement, no obvious indication as to it being the exception and not the rule.

The best just got better thanks to ZOOM Platform's Collector's Edition fixes - this also means GFWL is no longer an issue!

An upgrade over FlatOut 2 in many ways, including Carnage mode, Deathmatch derbies and more AIs on screen.

Here's hoping for that LAN support patch!

Yo man got a dolla?
