It's a weak 4

I liked Dusk, it's a good game but I'd still rather play Quake 2 or Strafe. It's loaded with atmosphere, the lighting and locations are great. The weapons are underwhelming though. Their sound lacks any punch; explosions sound more like puffs than BOOMs The guns lack substance and weight to their sound and effect, very anemic. The enemy design is a little off as well. Soldiers wearing combat armor go down with a single shotgun blast while unprotected scientists take 2 or 3 of the same shotgun blast to kill. Movement is fast and smooth but I tended to get hung up on the environment in a alot of places. There's a slide mechanism that I can see the use of but it took me by surprise. There are jump pads too that really fling you high into the air, making for levels with a lot of good verticality. Exploring the levels is actually quite fun, but some of the secrets are really secret. They can be tough to find, so that's fun. I CAN see this game being a lot of fun in multiplayer modes. My overall impression is that Dusk is like Rise of the Triad from 1995. That game was technically (literally) better than Doom in almost every way but there are just a few issues I had with it that keep me from enjoying it more than I expected.

Retro-style gaming done right

Dusk is a favorite among the “boomer shooter” crowd, and there's a good reason for that. It’s a clear and overt tribute to the FPS games of old, and it nails their overall feel and appearance with its fast movement, reloading-free gunplay, and chunky polygonal graphics. While it is strongly inspired by the likes of Quake, Blood or Redneck Rampage and even references them on occasion, it’s more than a pastiche or a tribute and has its own unique feel and atmosphere. The levels have a unique aesthetic, the soundtrack is great, the worldbuilding is pretty cool, and while the 3D graphics mimic those of a 90’s game, they still have their share of cool-looking environments and insane architectures. It also gets genuinely creepy at times! Gameplay-wise, it’s a whole lot of fun to play. It has its classic FPS arsenal and excessive speed movement: it’s extremely fun to circle-strafe and mow down the hordes of enemies thrown at you, but that’s not all. Dusk is not afraid to fully embrace its janky side and experiment with weirder mechanics, and it really shines when it lets out its more silly and modern vibe: for instance, you can use almost every object you can find as an improvised weapon, cook meat to regain health, or spin your guns for a small damage bonus. The level design has a ton of secrets to hunt down, and often lets you try out alternate paths and multiple ways to solve the issues you’re facing! Dusk, however, has some shortcomings. Three of four enemy types are annoying, notably rats and gun turrets; a few levels clearly had less efforts invested into them; and while the movement and gunplay are a ton of fun, I occasionally found them to be a bit wobbly, especially when locked in more confined spaces with multiple enemies. Still, Dusk deserves praise for being one of the first games to faithfully emulate the style of retro shooters, and… well, for being a banger. It’s not for everyone, but you will like it you’re a fan of retro gaming and over-the-top action.

Amazing

The guns in this game feel like nothing else. The levels are carefully crafted to take you on a ride and some of them are downright mindblowing. And once you get good, you'll be left wanting more.

Modern Retro FPS Classic

Dusk took me by surprise despite the fact that I was following it's development. I thought, "this looks like it might be an OK homage." I didn't expect a masterpiece, but that's what I got. The action is more reminiscent of Doom 2 and Blood than Quake (imo)... meaning that it's very fast and insane. The enemies are varied and fun... the level design also got better and better and better. At first, it's standard fare retro FPS. By the end, I'm flying through the air in some sort of M.C. Escher puzzle. The weapons are a mix of old ideas and new. If you have a favorite weapon from an old FPS, there's probably a version of it here. My personal favorite was the crossbow; line up a shot and take down all the enemies in a line. Andrew Hulshult's soundtrack is a modern take on the chuggy metal riffs from 90s FPS, but this time with real instruments. I think the music crafted for some of the more subtle moments... horroresque (is that a word?) organs and eerie synths... before the guitars kick in. One last thing, be sure to play all the way to the end. The boss battle is classic. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED.

Boomer shooters still have their place

One of the best games of 1997 in a parallel universe. This Quake/Blood love child is an absolute must have for fans of the retro shooters of yore.
