How did the hipster burn his mouth?
Drank his coffee before it was cool.

Just how good was the Shadow Warrior reboot, Henke?
I would classify it as "so good". It's really fast paced, and the sword powers are fun, tho they take a few missions to unlock and really get going. The action is ridiculously over-the-top. Basically anything that's more high-tech than a bicycle will explode when shot. The quips and the comedy constantly walks the line between "heh" and "meh", but towards the end the story picks up and I found myself actually caring about the characters and what happens to them. Overall I guess I'd say 8/10. Not one of the best games I've ever played, but a very solid and satisfying shooter/slasher. Only part I straight up disliked was the biolab level a few chapters in, which introduces some really annoying goo-ball monsters and has a very frustrating fight against 2 big bull monsters.
Also, remember when I said I'd stop going on about how good the Shadow Warrior reboot was? I lied.

I know. I tricked you into doing it olol.
So based on your glowing praise, I guess I'll be playing it. I want to beat Resident Evil and Shovel Knight first, and probably play through some more of the side missions in Ground Zeroes, but it's next in line after those.

Good!
Also on the topic of retro FPS's let's not forget about STRAFE, of which a new chunk of gameplay footage was just released.

Now THAT reminds me of DOOM. If only it didn't sound so wimpy. Fix the sound and it's a must play.

That's almost the other way round - new gameplay concepts with old style graphics!
Still looks awesome...

Yeah, spot on. The lack of decent feedback audio on the weapons in particular is really disconcerting. Otherwise, looking very promising!
