If you love Doom The Dark Ages, gory boomer shooter Project Warlock 2 is now 1.0

For as compelling as more realistic, tactics-heavy shooters can be, there's always going to be room for FPS games that lean into absurdity in order to offer the most propulsive action possible. The latter approach might not provide the sense of mortal danger as something like Arma 3 or Ready or Not, but sprinting across battlefields at superhuman speeds to blast apart monstrous enemies in throwback shooters like Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Dusk, Ultrakill, or Prodeus, is also a pretty good time. That's part of the reason it's worth paying attention to Project Warlock 2, a Quake and Hexen influenced project that's just hit 1.0 on Steam.
