FREAKHUNTER

An awesome FPS whose art style is as unique as it's control scheme. The movement is grid-based but the aiming is closer to a light-gun arcade game. It's like a strange child between Wizardry and House of the Dead. In general, the game feels great to play! I was especially impressed with the feedback for firing your weapons. While the movement also feels good, it has a lot of input buffering which took some time getting used to. Overall, there's something very satisfying about strafing around the corner to shoot at enemies, then dipping back to ambush them. Something else that surprised me was the inclusion of single-use item powerups. These added some puzzle elements to the levels while also encouraging creative problem solving in combat. My only complaint is that the later levels felt a little too "trial and error" for my liking. Fortunately, the game doesn't overstay it's welcome, and I even came back for a second playthrough to get the last achievement. As a random side note, my wife very much enjoyed watching the visuals as I played.

i like the retro style and the simplicity of the game. its relaxing to play
