Games like ‘Dusk’, ‘Amid Evil’, and ‘Into the Pit’ are shining examples of a new FPS subgenre: the “boomer shooter” inspired by games like ‘Doom’ and ‘Quake’.

      I mean, the article specifically states that, as high-budget games, Doom 2016/Eternal don’t really fit into the category:

      While they aren’t necessarily boomer shooters due to their higher production values, faster-paced first-person shooters like Titanfall 2, Doom Eternal, and Halo Infinite are earning more goodwill than the latest Call of Duty and Battlefield games, proving that a faster-paced and more fantastical FPS still appeals to mainstream audiences.

          Feels like you didn’t read the article and are just trying to snark about a point that noone is making. 🤷‍♂️
