At the risk of trying to create yet another megathread - watching this Civvie video the other night has made me realise that this really is the most exciting area of games for me at the moment. I think it's probably a genre in its own right now?
Selaco in particular looks absolutely incredible, it's ludicrous that it's running on a DOOM source port
I think what I like about these types of games is that they essentially play like shmups - at some point it feels like the FPS genre got a bit entangled with game directors' dreams of making films about war (or espionage, or whatever) and this type of stuff feels like a refreshing return to a more basic first-person space invaders type of affair which is much more fun.
Anyone else enjoying this type of thing?
