Ah, DUSK. One of my favorite games. The game that recreates Quake and Blood in an amazing way. The atmospheres are amazing for all of the twenty polygons they used, and the core gameplay loop is great. The enemies are all pretty cool, have easy-to-predict yet hard to dodge moves, and the weapons are all great! The cigar is still the best, though. To sum, if you haven’t played this and want a good experience, play this. I love this game to death, and I’m glad to see it on GoG.

For my first review on GoG, I thought I'd review a game that needs support right now. I have it on Steam, and I'll probably buy it here one day, but man I still love this game. The weapons, while not too crazy, are all satisfying. The heads gib! The level design has so much little details that are very nuanced, but they're still chock-full with details and references. Playing the levels is great and it never gets too keyhunt-y. The city and mall levels are great, and the sewer levels, while brown, are still fun to play through. The protagonist is pretty cool, too. The whole controversy was stupid, in my opinion. Censorship is bad, yeah, but this game had a lot of effort put into it, and for people to get upset at one guy at 3D Realms who wasn't aware of the rest of the team's viewpoints is dumb. I think the game is amazing, and I'm glad the whole thing ended with "There's no more censorship!" I just hope the game devs recover. TL;DR: good game where you shoot a lot and get keys, buy now and don't worry about controversy
