It's a near perfect experiment that well reflects what I hope the future of games looks like overall. A smaller, cheaper experience that doesn't sit too long, allowing concepts to stay simple and exciting even in spite of mechanics and design being FPS fixtures that have existed so long a lot of players have them memorized to the core.

Much like another tight, bite-sized shooter experience I loved playing this year (Post Void) Chop Goblins rewards score chasing, optimization, and the nature of social competition by delivering a gory, fast, and at times adorable faux-retro FPS that I played through three times I had so much fun. You'll especially love it as a moment to breathe between modern titles with longer runtimes and commitments. Hope you like it if you try it! More short but sweet games like this please! :3
