The half-hearted answer game-trivia-havers can give to the non-question: "Man, I wish there was a sequel to Rez".
Absolutely worth checking out for Mizuguchi fans. Nobody knows it exists, because the venn of people willing to pay 60$ for a 3 hour rail shooter and PS Move owners in 2011 was infinitesimal.

Eventually, the repetitive slog of the theoretically fun combat melted my brain into a paste which couldn't find the next handhold in the difficulty-curve-wall I found myself suddenly climbing. I loved the idea of "Diablo, but you control like eight guys at once and sic them on goblins", but didn't find it here.

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.

Secretly the most interesting game of 2020 that nobody played. Makes some incredible strides in VR level design and storytelling that - if you're not willing to play along - chafe against the edges of the technology, but that undersells how truly wild it is to play this game as a fan of the series. The only thing Boneworks has over this game is the physics interactions, but if that's all you're in VR for, I think you're really missing the point.
