While it’s nowhere near the levels of ocular insanity as something like Cruelty Squad, there’s a distinct mid-2000s vibe to the environments and general vibe that catches the eye, helped by what seems to be some light cel-shading. It’s certainly what I did, though I’m sure the narrative is just as weird and engaging as the game’s aesthetic for those who want to try and dive into it.īoomerang X is an odd looking game, which is meant as a compliment. Boomerang X is plenty abstract in its setting and characters, barely lingering on the strange insect corpses slumped in corners or talk of war, so much so that you can very easily ignore it and just chuck your spinner winner at everything instead. Boomerang X is the only boomerang-based one out of the lot, though, which instantly makes it worth looking into.ĭeveloped by DANG!, Boomerang X sees you playing as a mummy (I think) who washes ashore on a strange island where giant talking millipedes chuck you wedges of lore on occasion and you drink from strange bowls of red liquid. With DOOM Eternal probably the biggest single-player FPS release of the last year or so that prioritises staying on your toes and target management, we’ve also had the likes of Ghostrunner, Ultrakill, and Hired Gun. I don’t know when we started getting frenetic movement shooters that make your hands fly across your desktop so often, but I hope it never stops.
