This game satisfies all your senses and then some more. It scratces that ancient itch that started with pixelated FPS titan called Doom. Graphics are straight brutal retro eyecandy thrown at you with the modern GPU machinery. Maps are a joy to traverse, mammoth installations, huge processing alien factories, and as you advance to deeper levels maps become huge interdimensional spaces, corridors and halls. I loved the hall of credits with the faces of the dev team. The game is merciless and throws everything at you, I decided to play in Hard level for starters, that way you get more toxic exploding meat to cut through since your guns are literally the wrath of God in a wide variety of satisfying bringers of merciless justice. You can almost feel in your hand the unnatural steel and the manly crafted mechanisms of your righteousness delivering tools. Despite the advanced hardware you get along the way I found myself coming back to the basic pistol firing single shots, it really feels and sounds like you are sending thunderous piercing bullets of pain. I really love that in monster filled rooms and in boss fights you even get into a dance of death if you catch the rythm. Sometimes you just want straight mayhem as in the old school of fps days, and the sensation of power, no tiresome story. This game delivers that and more.
