Turbo Overkill has a lot of really manic energy that works in its favour. I've played a good few old-style shooters and some of them feel like they're lacking life - not Turbo Overkill. The arsenal is one of my favourites in games, it does enough interesting things with the environment for my liking, it introduces new gameplay elements pretty consistently and again, it really is carried on its own momentum.

I will say I think a lot of the levels, particularly in the third episode, might be a bit long for their own good. I remember looking on with abstract horror when I saw some of the enemy counts towards the end of the game, but if you can tolerate the time investment it's still worth a try.

Play it if you want a good, fun throwback shooter with a lot of modern sensibilities a la Doom Eternal
