This game gets left out in the cold when Boomer Shooter discussions happen, likely since any future relevance was killed by its disaster of a sequel, but this one's special. Fighting for your life on this surreal sci-fi-tribal alien planet, encountering cool optional bits of environmental storytelling, engaging in sharp, technical fights with fewer/stronger enemies instead of hordes of weaker demons - there's nothing else like Unreal. Play it.

It's interesting because Blood gets talked about way more in boomer shooter conversations and that had both an awful sequel (worse than unreal 2) and sold way less than Unreal
