ULTRAKILL
OK, so I confess, this is one of my gaps. However, it’s also the highest rated boomer shooter on Steam, with an astonishing 82,000 reviews resulting in a coveted Overwhelmingly Positive rating. I’m literally installing it as I type this.
It’s another game published by New Blood Interactive, this one developed by Arsi Patala, who has been developing it in Early Access since 2020. Progress has been enormous, the three-act game now featuring the first two acts and a six-level prelude in their complete form.
While a lot of these games inspired by the Build and id Tech 1 engines tend to have a familiar look, ULTRAKILL (a game that seems to deserve its bellowed all-caps title) goes for something that looks like Descent and a broken camera lens had a baby in a rainbow.
