SPRAWL is, I guess, a Boomer Shooter.
Aesthetically it's pretty incredible what the one-man art/music team has done. It all comes together to create an excellent dirty Cyberpunk dystopia that you'll be wallrunning and shooting your way through.

The gameplay is very satisfying, but could probably do with a little more variation in encounters and UI.
The way the encounters and AI works, it rarely forces you to engage with the movement mid-fight.
A pretty fun selection of weapons, but few as satisfying as the starting pistols. So when enemies get a bit tanky for them, you just have to start abusing the hilariously overtuned shotgun.

Like most Boomer Shooters, the bosses are the weakest bit. Spending your last moments in a game all about dynamically moving around the environment in a flat room looking up at a big helicopter is a bummer of a finish.

Anyway, I did it in like 3hr30, so it didn't outstay its welcome!
