DUSK

It just doesn't compel me. I've played the entirety of Blood at least three times this month (not counting replaying individual levels), but I played through DUSK once over a month ago and didn't even write a review at the time. I think there's a good run of levels from late-E1 to mid-E3 (with a few weak points), but most of the guns and enemies do nothing for me and its presentation of cosmic horror is totally down-to-earth. Side note re: Blood, people say it's one of this game's biggest inspirations, and while I can see some surface-level similarities, it just doesn't play the same. Sure there's cultists and you can wield a few guns akimbo to double their fire-rate and there are giant rat nuisance enemies, but the actual experience is “Quake with a bit of John Woo gunplay”.
