Speaking of Dusk... The guy who made Dusk replied to a tweet praising Doom Eternal, where he also praised Doom Eternal too. Then another guy replied and recommended Dusk, where the dev then called his own game a 'meh'.

David Szymanski about his game:"meh game" ahahah

I honestly don't know why the in-flight mobility rune isn't just how it controls by default.

If anything, he's understating how great Dusk is. It's amazing. Buy it.

This man is becoming my favourite youtuber. Likes NiN, likes doom, recommend really fucking good games and has a calm voice and the quality content youtube needs.

Over the last two years I've spent over 40 hours playing through the campaign multiple times and as someone who has also finished Doom Eternal twice already I could not agree more with the title.

“If you like Doom, play Dusk” Quake fans: am I a joke to you?

Awesome video brother

Can't thank you enough for bringing some exposition to this masterpiece of a game .... and i'm not even a dev

For the next Doom, the Slayer needs to be constantly running at a breakneck speed.

Dusk is amazing, and best yet is that it'll run on a potato quite happily with a decent framerate. My old Surface Pro 3 could handle it really well when I needed some FPS action while away from home.

I'm happy you brought up Unreal because I love messing around with that game's console commands, exec files and raw keybindings. I pretty much turned it into modern Doom. Sprint function, variable jump (holding down the spacebar makes you jump higher. Rapidly tapping space with the right timing can make you hover and it's broken) I turned the Stinger into a plasma rifle that blocks incoming shots, and so on. Dusk looks really cool! Actually might look at it.

I played this game after watching a video where it was recommended by a youtuber, can't remember which one... but it was fantastic

I love people are making retro style 3D games instead of always making it hyper realistic

Remember, One must always reign beneath DUSK

Awesome job promoting this. I played it shortly after release, and its a modern masterpiece. Pays homage to the classic 90s FPS games while still standing on its own. The atmosphere, guns/enemies, music, and especially level design are top notch. As I got into ep2 and ep3, some of the levels were jaw dropping to me. Cannot recommend this game enough.

"Old school shooter fans like myself" Sir, I think you're mistaken, school shooters don't get old, but you're a fan so I guess you'd know best.

I’m loving this old school style.

Quake + Blood = Dusk Perfect combination

Celestia bless your souls for pointing me in the right direction in FPS. UT2004 was my first massively overplayed FPS, than Doom 2016, than I suddenly realized "I want to feel what veteran gamers felt in the 90's". CS 1.6, Quake, Doom 1993 and Doom 64 followed. Now people have pointed me to the direction of Blood and Dusk.

I recently discovered your channel here and really enjoy your Doom reviews and gameplay with commentary. I'm old enough to remember when Space Invaders was a thing at the public arcade for a quarter per game. Today's FPS games still amaze me.

Also check out Amid Evil. It's really good!

You made me a huge Newblood fan when you uploaded this and the only reason I'm not playing Dusk for the 30th time is because I wanna forget how great it is so I can rediscover it

This game is awesome and its creeeeeepy sound effects add a lot of joy.

great game, last time i played it i finished episode 1 on duskmare intruder, many deaths later it was satisfying to finish it. for those who don't know duskmare is the highest difficulty where everything 1 shots you, and intruder mode makes you start each level with only the sickles another thing that wasn't mentioned in the video is that the sickles can reflect enemy projectiles if you time your swings right which is just fun to do

3:18 damn. I've been wondering what the point of the soap was since launch

I just started playing it today! And after Doom Eternal, it's the perfect game to scratch that fast-paced shooter itch

IDK if I’m the first one to find this, but there’s a little Easter egg in the second level. If you jump the last gate before it transitions to the third level, you will find a health cross with a label that says “you aren’t supposed to be here, go away.”

Of all things, I love the reload animations. They just look so satisfying.

I'm so glad that I found this channel to expand my fps horizons during the Covid Quarantine. Great Content. I'm not so glad that I found this channel right before my final exams.

So the game is pretty cool but what really got me into the video was that old school "gameplay" at the end, pretty cool man. You reminded me when I used to search for KZfaq compilations of COD mw2 kills with throwing knife.

This video immediately popped up in my recommendation list right after I saw David himself say "meh game" about his own game on a Twitter reply.

Played this a lot a while ago. Completely forgot about it. Its soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal

Hi new to your channel but have been watching all your stuff. I really appreciate your straight-forward style. So much content on KZfaq emphasizes style over substance, that I actually tend to skip to the middle of a lot of videos just to see what the actual point of the whole thing is. Your videos don’t waste the viewer’s time and every word and second matter. Even when I don’t totally agree with you (like say with God or War 4, I love all the original games but I also really enjoyed what the new game was going for) your conciseness is a breath of fresh and if we applied a value per second metric, your channel would have the “best bang for your buck” rating.

Loved how the review left me wanting more, then you unexpectedly jumped into one of your favorite levels to give us an actual taste of the gameplay, atmosphere etc. Probably the coolest review format I've ever seen, and never seen.

6:07 - by the way, this game has prop jumping. You can stand on top of a prop and press 'jump' and 'use' repeatedly, so you will jump, lift it in the air and jump of it again.

“If you like DOOM Eternal, check out Dusk. Andrew Hulshult did the soundtrack. He also is doing the DOOM Eternal DLC”

Dusk is an amazing game. Amid Evil is also worth a look. Both Dusk and Amid Evil have amazing soundtracks by Andrew Hulshult.

Inb4 “From Dusk ‘til DooM” becomes a thing

It's amazing how calm and soothing this dudes voice is during the gameplay near the end. Everything looks super intense and his voice doesn't lose composure. Nice job man, consider doing a audiobook!

Man, Dusk reminds me of Doom Eternal's weapon switching. I love it!

This vid helped me find your channel and I really like it, keep up the good work on those shooter analysis-style videos! :)

I recently put this on my Steam wishlist, but after seeing your review, I'm gonna pull the trigger. Thanks for showcasing this!

Dusk holds a special place in my heart, it was the first game in the "doom-like" genre of games, and the level you showed gameplay of was the first level that I really stuggled in. I came up with strategies, and found a bit of tech, like you can jump off of the fire spewing pillar, bunny hopping, and you can jump over the wall to go to the main facility. I love Dusk and can reccomend it, I cant think of anything more to say about it, I just love it so much

Man I could could listen to your voice commentating on games any day, so calming 👍

Playing Dusk is a good way to familiarise yourself with the play style that is very much necessary in Doom Eternal. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed DE as much if I haven't learnt all those skills from playing Dusk. I would also argue that Dusk handles weapon switching and the "use all of your tools" philosophy a lot better and a lot more organically than DE does, which unlike Dusk forces you to play that way by putting absurd ammo restrictions.

I really appreciate this review! My current pc is out of commission at the moment but when I get it repaired I will *definitely* be buying this

Keep up the good content~! I love just listening to your videos, you bring up a lot of good and reasonable points and your video game taste is great!

Hi Mayo! I love your channel. I just finished Dusk yesterday :D So now I can come and see your review. c:

Added to my wishlist, thanks for uncovering this gem for me.

great analysis. i think you sold me on the game. i've been playing their other shooter AMID EVIl and it's great. it feels less quake/ blood and more serious sam/ hexen but that's not a complaint at all. really open, complex levels with tons of variety, interesting magic weapons and a fun mechanic where you can power up your weapons to do absurd things for a brief time (ricochet projectiles off walls, turn enemies into water, throw suns)

Another good one is Hellbound: Survival Mode. I saw something about the dev making a campaign mode for the game too, but not sure when that's coming. As someone who enjoys survival modes, I really liked it. I'll also have to try this out, it looks fun.

I remember when this game released, still holds up i recommend

This video was really good, but I gotta say Civvie 11 really got me into these older style games a while ago. His series on shadow warriors, blood, dusk, and new doom are some of the best videos I have ever seen on youtube. If you haven't seen them, I recommend giving him a few hours of your time.

Excellent but brief overview. I wished you touched on that all the non-melee enemies in the game have projectile attacks and if you time it right, you can deflect all projectiles with the sickles. I didn't even figure that out until my 2nd playthrough. I absolutely love this game

Mayo: mentions stalker Me: a talking mayonnaise? So is life in the zone

I'd recommend grabbing the bundle that includes this and Amid Evil, which is very similar to Dusk but leans hard into being a throwback to Heretic and Hexen.

I have to give some pretty serious thanks for bringing even more attention to DUSK. This game is awesome.

My favorite gaming commentaries are the ones where you can hear the speaker aggressively mashing the keys

this game is amazing, so glad you decided to cover it

@2:50 If you overlook a weapon that does a lot of damage, and shoots through walls, you can't be helped.

your channels about to be booming my man

your narration sounds like if my grandpa picked up this game "oh yeah, ops! yeah alright! okay got em! yep! whoa! okay!"

That Terminator 2 shotgun reload animation is too cool

Found your channel due to your love of doom eternal. You are making me want to get a PC dude. I haven't had one since like the 90s lol. I have been on laptops since. Yes that means i'm playing doom eternal on console

This would be a best seller in the 90s. I gotta go buy this game now.

Thanks. You should show more awesome games while we're in quarantine.

I remember this from a year ago i couldn't remember the name! Thank you.

I hope that if they work on a Dusk sequel, they add some crazier weapons in the mix. Many 90's games had the usual roster of pistol shotguns, rifles/machine guns, rocket launchers, but the highest tier weapons were reserved for some cool weapons, like the plasma rifle and BFG from Doom; the thunderbolt, hyperblaster and rail gun from Quake 1 and 2; the Gauss Gun (which acts like Dusk's Crossbow) and Gluon Cannon from Half-Like... weapons that had limited ammo but could tear a new one for higher tier enemies and bosses. Otherwise, the game is indeed amazing, can't recommend it enough. It also feature tons of secrets and every episode has one secret level. For these secrets you have to remember that you can pickup objects and break grates (which I sometimes forget, given the old school feel of the game)...

After Dusk, New Blood made AMID EVIL which also inspired by 90s shooter and it is a MUST play for any old school FPS fan

Glad to see somebody mention the Thief series. Such a masterpiece franchise imo by far my favorite

Your commentary of the live gameplay sounds like you’re in a cooking show telling me the recipe for a pie. You should keep practicing it though, I’d love to hear you improve :)

Sold. What really sells it to me is lack of some modern elements like open arenas, bullet sponge enemies, enemies coughing with powerups and well, everything about Doom 2016 that makes me play Brutal Doom instead. It really looks oldschool and it's in a good way.

Yeah man, been playing Dusk for a while now - fantastic game!

THANK YOU I've seen this game before somewhere but i didnt know the name Now i know and i'm about to play the shit out of this

The old school hooter is coming back examples dusk doom 2016, doom eternal, wolfinstien reboot, serious Sam 4, ultra kill, and quake champions.

Dusk looks absolutely mint. Great content, just found your channel. Subscribed!

I'm glad games like Dusk, Ion Fury, Amid Evil and the original Doom/Quake games are back undrr the spotlight of mainstream gaming

I bought this on release and you make me wanna buy it again.

As someone who grew up with the original Unreal and loves it to death but has never played Unreal Tournament, I'm just happy I was included at all

Thanks for the recommendation!

I'll have to try it out! I really like the 90s look lol

I bought Dusk when it first released and played through episode 1, but couldn't get more than 2 levels into episode 2 because I was so bad at it. Just a few weeks ago, having played retro-style FPS games fairly regularly for the past year, I decided to give Dusk another try, and this time I was able to complete the game on the medium difficulty. And I have to say, it's honestly one of the best FPSs I've ever played. It just feels good to play on a fundamental level; I often found myself strafe-jumping in circles around rooms after I'd cleared them out just because even the basic act of moving from one place to another in this game is incredibly fun. Not to mention, the game looks absolutely beautiful, especially with limited colour palette and 4x pixelation enabled.

you can also use crossbow to ehmm, crossbowjump or hit switches through walls

Damn, I’ll def check this out, thanks man

Hey man love your channel!

those horns make the goats look more like deer to me

Correction: If you like "Quake" play Dusk.

UTM: the crossbow is the best wepon Soap: am i a joke to you

Nice. I bought this a few months ago but haven't played it yet. Looks like a good one.

My favourite thing to do is use the blades to reflect attacks back at the hordes.

You had me at “evil goats”

You didn't mention that you can do a literal front flip in the air! It's awesome.

A little like 'Strafe' in that 90s style

Yes! Another vid. Love ur vids

the enemy on the thumb looks like the stay out of the house villain

Idk if it still has it but, when I played it it had half life like prop riding feature, lots of fun

I love the visual aesthetic of those early levels. It’s like a midwestern American version of the village from Resident Evil 4
