The Demon Rush: Legends Corrupt
The Demon Rush: Legends Corrupt is an action RPG with fast-paced combat requiring use of strong offensive and defensive mechanics across multiple modes (Story Mode, Endless Dungeon, Onslaught, Conquest, Heist). Fight your enemies up close, use buffs/debuffs/status ailments to gain an advantage or place effects like tornados, fire, water, death forests, black holes and more onto the battlefield.
The Mittu star system enjoyed a long period of prosperity, and was watched over by three powerful beings who shared their unique skillsets and technologies across three worlds for millenia. From out of nowhere, a Demon Army of immense power appeared suddenly and began invading these planets, slaughtering countless innocents and causing fear and paranoia in the godlike rulers of each world. On the planet of Altair, the first spacecraft in Mittu’s history has been constructed, with the hopes that its crew can find something in the Mittu star system to end the war against the Demon Army.

DOOM
DOOM (2016) is a first person shooter developed by Bethesda and ID Software, meant to pay homage to the original series of Doom games from the 90s, which it does so incredibly well.
Gameplay
The gameplay in this game is incredibly fluid, all the guns have impact too them. That with the amazing enemy variety and fantastic soundtract by Mick Gordon all together make the gameplay feel extremely fun! The atmosphere of both the UAC and Hell are spectacular.
The game introduces a new mechanic called “Glory Kills” basically demons that are staggered can be killed in spectacular fashion, that as well as the challenges, collectibles and secrets through out the levels will have you searching all over for the hidden levels from the original DOOM, this and the large amount of levels combined leads up to atleast 11-14 hours of gameplay. The levels in DOOM are great in the fact that most of them aren’t linear, unlike most FPS games.

I’m Too Young To Die
Early concept arts from 2012 showed areas such as a museum, a library and the streets; all indicated this would be the remake of Hell On Earth. It all made sense considering Doom 3 was the remake of the very first episode. Then there was silence till 2015 when - during the summertime - Bethesda showcased the gameplay of the 4th episode. It was great: gory, fast-paced, had great graphics as well as numerous executions.
Hurt Me Plenty
Story-wise we are back where Doom 3 began. On Mars all hell breaks loose after an experiment conducted by UAC employees goes horribly wrong. But did it really go wrong or the aim was to unleash these foul beasts on mankind? It is our job to put a stop to all this and find all the answers. Interestingly, there is no “zero” level now which showed the base in its peaceful state back in Doom 3. We are thrown right in the middle of it; in fact, our protagonist wakes up from a long sleep only to find himself in shackles. He breaks free, kills a couple of zombies, picks up a pistol then his dark green marine armour soon after and proceeds to the nearest exit.

Painkiller Hell & Damnation
FIRST: If you don’t have played original Painkiller Black Edition (main base game plus BooH expansion) go now and play it because that’s the real masterpiece!. If you plan on playing only one entry in this huge saga then only play Black and forget about Hell and Damnation. Later you can go for Overdose and maybe Redemption (don’t bother with Resurrection as it is abismal and Recurring Evil it’s really forgettable). If you are on that hardcore rollercoaster of Painkiller saga after playing all of previous recommendations then you can give this a try!

For a start, this game is an absolute copy of the original Painkiller, and because of that, especially If you’re new to the franchise, I’d strongly recommend getting Painkiller - Black Edition instead of this. Reasoning? The original one (here it is on Steam ) has 24 levels + 10 amazing bonus expansion levels, compared to 14 of Hell and Damnation, which were taken from different parts of the original game. That’s much more content for a lesser price.
! Besides, the original Painkiller has the best credits theme ever, but that’s just for my taste. But, if you’re here for a bit better graphics and steam achievements, Hell and Damnation is probably your game of choice. OR IS IT?

Darksiders Warmastered Edition
“In times of war, the law falls silent.”
~Marcus Tullius Cicero
The seventh generation of video game consoles. In my humble opinion, it was the last generation, in which console war was still a thing. I mean, seriously. Look at the world we live in now. We have Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy on Xbox, Crash Bandicoot and Forza on PC and so on. Sure, technically, the console war is still on and some titles are still available only on certain platforms, but all in all, seventh generation was the last one when it was still interesting. The last one when it was actually worth having more than one system on you. And this game? It’s taking advantage of that.

TL;DR
! Darksiders is a compelling action adventure with God of War (I - III) style combat, and Legend of Zelda style progression, all with puzzles, gadgets and a catchy “Mystery Sound”.
! It combines infamous Joe “MAD” Madureira’s unique and over-the-top art-style (Battle Chasers: Nightwar) with an epic story about the Apocalypse being kicked off too early and one of the four Horsemen being blamed for it. You take control of said rider, War, as he tries to uncover who is behind this conspiracy and cuts down Angels and Demons alike to get there. With its colorful yet brutal art-style, its epic soundtrack and its superb voice-acting (including Liam O’Brien and Mark Hamill) this game is an instant recommendation. The Warmastered Edition is the same with more graphical options and the Harvester integrated instead of obtained via code.

DANMAKAI: Red Forbidden Fruit
Cute little STG that feels like a nice and huge love letter to Touhou (especially PC-98’s vibes). I will write my pros and cons with the expectation that the reader is at least somewhat fond of Touhou.
Pros:
-
4 difficulties, 6 stages with an extra stage. Very Touhou-style
-
Mechanic is simple enough to understand. The tutorial video helps.
-
The difficulty is generally digestible. You can go ham on resources once you master the mechanic, but isn’t that true of most STGs and Touhou games anyway…

A hilariously unbalanced game with a bomb mechanic that can be spammed to hell and back. Once the player has figured out how, where, and when to bomb graze, its difficulty becomes trivial, and the game becomes a fun novelty. A veteran shmup player should be able to clear Lunatic in under 10 credits.
While there is little challenge to be found in the main game, there’s plenty of extra content to keep yourself busy with. There also seems to be a hidden condition for what I think is a TLB or something equivalent, but I’m too lazy to confirm it.

Shadow Warrior
Story of a demonic incestuous affair that is uncovered by her older brothers and you can kinda guess the rest.
🔸Shadow Warrior’s story is well-written for a AA game. You are in control of Lo Wang, an assassin who is hired by a powerful Japanese magnate to buy an ancient katana -Nobitsura Kage- from a collector for 2 million dollars. However as you may expect, things don’t go as planned and Wang tries to take the katana by force, then he finds out Mr. Mizayaki -The collector- is in contact with a demon named Hoji.

For some reason I decided to go for all achievements in this game, so I had to complete it both on insane and heroic difficulties. Was it worth it? No. Was it fun? No. Was it entertaining? Sort of. But let’s take one thing at a time.
Shadow Warrior 2013 is a remake of a semi-popular old school shooter of the same title. Though I cannot really call this game a remake, because remake usually means a piece that is largely refined to fit modern standards and audience but keeps its original nature. I cannot say that this game doesn’t have anything in common with the original but it also stepped quite far from it. First things first, the gameplay was changed to fit modern shooter standards: most of creative things like using enemy’s head as a major weapon, nuclear rockets, demon heart that creates a copy of you, etc were discarded. They were changed with mainstream pistol, uzi, shotgun, crossbow, and demon heart now just acts as instant-kill bomb, enemy head became an optional thing, which is mostly useless. The shooting itself is very odd: you do not really feel any impact, there is a regular lack of ammo and some weapons are too OP over the others. However, the developers tried to expand the gameplay by adding magic and sword fights. I cannot say that these are bad but they are also far from perfect. Sword acts more like a bat that you have to punch enemies with rather than a blade that slices through them, on earlier levels you tend to run out of ammo and have to poke foes for ages with it, sword techniques are interesting but there is too few of them for the whole game. As for the magic spells, it adds some variety to the gameplay but, just like with sword skills, there are too few of them. Only 2 combat spells, which basically do the same thing – stun enemies – healing, and protection, which you will unlikely use at all if you play casually. The game is also very overloaded with upgrades. Instead of a tree or gradually opening skills you are instantly given 9 different progression screens for the character + 1 for each acquired weapon. Should I say that nobody’s gonna spend 20 min of just reading each and every description? Because of this, I personally missed a useful skill of resurrection just because I skipped reading another bunch of text. If those screens were introduced in the first 3-4 levels instead of the very first one it wouldn’t hurt the gameplay at all but made the introduction to the upgrades much smoother.
