I just finished Robocop: Rogue City and it was exactly this a linear level by level shooter that felt like a pure Robocop power fantasy movie. I played new game plus it was so much fun and I never do that.

It's like the game industry got a fake memo saying no one wanted linear story-based games anymore. I ended up buying two more Teyon games because I was so happy with their formula and they are playable in a dozen or so hours. Tight, compact, linear, fun story and game play... No MTX or always online BS and they don't waste my time with busy work.

Ooh, I’ll have to give this a try, thank you!

This is exactly how I want my FPS games to be. Just linear, run & gun. TBH, I can even do without weapon upgrades or any "RPG" style elements.

It's even worse in multiplayer games like COD and BF. As soon as I need to figure out combinations of 5x attachments to guns I lose all my interest in playing the game. That's why I'm still on CS I guess lol.

The latest DOOM: Dark Ages ditched the home hub. I think it's a really great DOOM game.

I was quite excited for it, despite not enjoying Eternal as much. But after about ~2 hours of playing it, I lost interest. I'm happy you're enjoying it, sadly it didn't click for me.

Especially the 'mech scale' stuff was just boring. I don't remember what they call it in-universe, but essentially the parts of the game where you're playing from a giant robot and just walking over tanks and fighting supersized demons.

Huh, thanks! I’ll give it a try

> find secrets

I'll be honest, I don't like this part. I'm a rabid collector. If the game gives a metric to an item, I must have all of the items. I end up killing the flow by scouring the level looking for secrets. This is entirely my fault of course
