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’.

    Finally, a genre of games with explosions in them.

    It’s still a terrible name, and it is clearly meant to make you think of baby-boomers (the op is literally titled “OK Boomer Shooter.”) Also, the fact that there are things that go ‘boom’ in this game is not in any way the defining trait that separates them from other FPS’s, but rather that they are more fast-paced than other more realistic FPS’s. And even if you convince me otherwise on that point, I still hate the name and wish nobody would use it!
