News WRATH: Aeon of Ruin (New 3D Realms Game!)

I like it.
But it feels like your character is 3 feet tall and goes down to slithering level when crouching.
And mouse sensitivity goes out of whack randomly causing me to fall off ledges constantly where I mean to simply turn comfortably.
So it does feel like early access, it's not like DUSK which was rather polished early on and basically just got more content as time went on.
I'm sure it will turn out amazing in the end though, the core is there. DUSK is worth (re?)visiting in the mean time however, even if it's more indie.

Played for an hour, this is really good so far.
Movement feels spot on, shotgun is perfect.

Not really, pretty different type of game, DUSK is more similar to this (well, more like Quake, very different still) than Ion (not Iron) Fury. Super fun on its own right.

Humble has a nice price, if you are a monthly subscriber.
I buy a lot of Early Access games as well, and I mostly wait until a game is fully released to properly play it (outside of maybe squeezing in a few minutes).
Why do I buy them early, then?
Well:
-it's usually significantly cheaper
-frequently, you get a freebie or two (in-game content, free DLC/OST/Artbook/...)
-to support the developers (hopefully the extra funds may translate to a better game, and community feedback and testing as well)
-despite some games that were abandoned, Early Access games are a much less risky proposition than crowdfunding games, in the sense that even if they are abandoned, at least you got a playable chunk for your troubles (with plenty of crowdfunding games, I was left with nothing).
In a way, I have replaced crowdfunding games, with Early Access games.

I'm disappointed personally. The sound and visuals are good, but the encounters, level design, mobility, and weapons feel like an afterthought.
Arcane Dimensions is a much better game and completely free. I strongly recommend playing that instead if you haven't already.

I like the game a lot, but I do think this one is early in some aspects.
As enemies spawn you can't hit them. The shotgun is frankly overpowered (one hit kills so many enemies even with a partial miss -- Quake usually required dead on shots to kill even weaker enemies with the super shotgun in one hit) and the minigun-like teeth shooter or whatever is super underpowered (not only weak, but burns ammo, and even for long range enemies (where it should do decently) the projectiles are so slow that they rarely make contact with even slow enemies). But I think the enemy spawns are fine. Enemies spawning in as you pick up an item is kinda lame, as is enemies spawning into areas you've already been, but it's not terrible.
I expect some of these to get tweaked. Remember this is a true Early Access. I can't see this as anything but that.
Sure, AD is better, but it's built upon an all time GOAT. That weapon balance ++ (for the weapons they add and tweak) comes at a discount when making a mod.
This looks far more imaginative than Quake ever did. Looking forward to playing this eventually.Played for an hour, this is really good so far.

Arcane Dimensions is THE SHIT (better than all Quakes combined)I'm disappointed personally. The sound and visuals are good, but the encounters, level design, mobility, and weapons feel like an afterthought.
