Somehow it managed to capture me like in the oldern days ( Doom, Q1, Q2, etc. ). The mix of modern graphic elements ( RTX ) and the oldschool low poly world and monsters is really charming. The weapons feel varied enough to keep switching between them. Even the trusty melee axe deals enough damage to be useful if you like it close and personal. Apart from the staff ( water baloon shooter ) they all feel quite powerful and don't get obsolete later in the game. The level design is greatly varied and each world has its own theme and new monsters which have their own arsenal of movement/attacks/tricks. After ~10hrs of playtime I can say I am very pleased with the purchase. One gripe that a veteran could have is: there's no speed to be gained by strafe-jumping/bhopping - since I never mastered this art I don't mind it much.
