“Boomer shooter” is the latest term to follow the likes of “Roguelike” or “Soulslike” in the realm of hyperspecific gaming subgenres. It applies to first-person shooters that intentionally harken back to the classic PC games of the late ‘90s like Doom and Quake.
Thanks for that. TIL I liked “Boomer shooters”.

Glad to be of service. I picked this article as it relates to a couple others I did. One is on todays release of Trepang^2. It’s crossposted in the community if you are interested.
