Awesome Brand New Shooters That Embody the Spirit of the 90s.
Players prefer to shoot in open-ended worlds, but they used to traverse complex mazes full of secrets. Doom-like games have greatly evolved, but as it turns out, new shooters inspired by Quake, Hexen or Duke Nukem 3D are still being created.

Last, but not least. Without id Software and Doom this list would not exist. The recently released Doom Eternal is in a way a bridge between the old and the new. In many ways, it is played the same as the classic Doom II: Hell on Earth. The gameplay offers fast pace fun-filled demon slaughter, while the number of references to the original is a real tearjerker. It's just an old Doom with sensational graphics.
However, the creators added some novelties - a more detailed plot, cut-scenes, and new abilities with which we explore the maps. On the one hand, they distanced themselves from the original formula; on the other, they made the 2016 game's direct sequel seem much bigger and more elaborate. As a result, it doesn't give us a sense of stagnation or repeats already seen gameplay patterns. Doom Eternal is a two-in-one game. It matches the standards of contemporary productions, but offers the atmosphere and simplicity of the 90's original.
