I think Cultic is a bit better on lower difficulties, because you can be a lot more creative about how you initiate fights (because it’s almost always you who initates)

on higher difficulties you mix and match but it’s usually the same strat: pick off enemies with your rifle, then make heavy use of cover and your other weapons (mainly your shotgun or in bigger groups, dynamite) to eliminate your adversaries

Your later weapons are super strong but mostly in the right circumstances, and unfortunately does sometimes kinda just come down to saving it so you can safely kill one of the high hp enemies

I’d probably enjoy a game with mixed approaches if it was as hard as I wanted it to be

Because Cultic is one of the best “boomer shooters” I’ve played, comfortably up with Dusk

I just. did not enjoy Amid Evil. Your weapons are either super strong and spammable or are awful and nothing feels good to use

Ultrakill is pretty decent but it has a lot of little problems that add up to me not regarding it as a favourite. Largely because of the time-sink requirement to really feel fluid and some weapons not feeling good

I don’t enjoy repeating levels or such over and over either. I enjoy doing things once, and coming back to it in a few years if I want to do it again. I already beat Cultic on the hardest difficulty in 2023 but I just wanted to re-experience it

Ultrakill is very clearly a different thing to that which makes it not my thing, and why I don’t really enjoy roguelikes either

I’d probably rank the ones I’ve played:

Dusk, Cultic
Trepang2, Black Mesa (bite me, it’s a lot more fun)
Cry of Fear (gameplay wise only)
Ultrakill, Stalker, Beyond Citadel
Original HL, Blood West
Amid Evil

not including any multiplayer games

I couldn’t get F.E.A.R to work for me

Stalker & below I didn’t finish

I should probably just include my System Shock 2 rating since I included cry of fear
Probably on the same line as Ultrakill
