But Turbo Overkill is more than just a homage to id Software’s legacy and the sci-fi influences – such as The Terminator – that it built its foundations on, instead creating its own excessive and varied feast of neon-drenched gunplay. Taking the boomer shooter blueprint of old and injecting it with new life via slick movement abilities and increasingly bizarre locations, it’s as close as you’ll get to demon-slaying this year for anyone looking for a Doom-like fix in 2023. Fun, frenetic, and flashy, it wastes no time setting you free in its colourful cyberpunk setting and inviting you to coat every surface in blood.
A high-speed throwback to bullet-barraging FPS games of old, Turbo Overkill hands you an explosive selection of guns and a chainsaw for a leg before telling you to unleash hell.
