The best modern-oldscool shooter with nearly EVERYTHING done right which is impressive. This really shows that if something is made with love and attention to details, it doesn't matter how good graphics is. If game is good enough, it doesn't need that. It is only nice edition.

[@mrred773]

I would argue that it's graphically very good actually. It's a lot cruder and more primal, which is what I appreciate from old video game aesthetics, but it's also got such an inventive colour pallet that modern FPS formula basicly squanders and hurls out the window for being "unrealistic"

[@ORBrunner]

For many players it will be not modern enough sadly to sate their taste for it in modern gaming. BUT level design, aesthetics and color palette are REALLY good as you mentioned and i agree with you, sir, 100% in that term.

[@datonkallandor8687]

I cannot stress enough how fucking amazing this game is. My GOTY for 2018 and that's not even a joke. It's a homage, basically, sure, but it's not just a gimmick. It's an incredibly well polished first-person shooter with old school typical gameplay but has so much originality that it never once feels like a copy of the classics. Surprisingly superb atmosphere, brilliantly smooth movement and gunplay, unique, varied and balanced enemy types and weaponry, exceptional level design (lots of literal jaw dropping moments visually, believe it or not), a soundtrack that to my ears smashes DOOM 2016's and sound design that makes my ears wet. No, I'm not being paid by the devs, yes I was skeptical too, but all year the most fun I had playing a video game was this. For me, this BEATS some of the classics that's how fucking amazing it is.

I know this video is like three years old, but this game is new to me, and this video has been the best advertisement. Definitely going to pick this up as my next video game related purchase

[@SwitchUpBroadcast]

*Sees new Civvie upload* I didnt need to sleep anyway

[@KindHeartedGoat]

Sleep can go squirt itself with a coffee enema, Civvie is much more fuckin' important!

[@Zox457]

Bought DUSK after watching this video. I'm having a blast right now playing it, thanks Civvie! Great recommendation!

Quaff means to drink an alcoholic drink hardly or with enjoyment

_Fun fact:_ David Szymanski practically worships Daikatana. It's basically his favorite game ever and he often cites it as a source of inspiration in all his works. He's even gone on record stating that his dream is to one day remake Daikatana. I don't know how any of this factors into the creation of Dusk, because Dusk is one of the greatest games I have ever played while Daikatana is...you know.

[@UltimateCarl]

Evidently if you play it with patches/mods that fix the bugs and remove the AI partners it's not terrible. Haven't tried it myself, though.

Press F for flashlight.

I find it funny that he mentions how the crossbow is an easy weapon to underestimate. It is, but not as easy to underestimate as the starting sickles and their ability to hit projectiles back at enemies. Makes the guys with homing fireballs even more fun.

[@АннаЗинурова]

So... What about "Ion Maiden" or "AMID EVIL"?

[@danielbeeston8279]

I have just started playing dusk after watching your video and I can say it one of my favourite games so far it's so good thanks for showing of this game

[@ioanmihaipopescu9071]

Can you make a review of Quake 1.5 please civvie.

[@Zephyrbal]

I've had up to 3 rapid fire totems at the same time. They do stack, and firing the machine gun in this state causes the sound to clip. It's great.

[@TooMuchSascha]

I've noticed in good retro FPSs, they make sure to keep weaker jobber enemies around even later into the game. When the difficulty ramps up higher in episode two, the soldiers are still there to make your weapons feel powerful. The wizards in episode 3 are easily dispatched too Each area and difficulty of a shooter like this should have an enemy that can be killed in one hit by your workhorse weapon just to keep it from feeling like you're wasting ammo at every turn. And they do exactly that.

[@Gebunator]

Gotta give it to the Civvie, he makes the art of playing oldschool FPS look like a thing of beauty... ..Aaand that game goes on my wishlist and gonna get the moment I feel like playing a game involving mowing down copious amounts of enemies..

[@TheCraziestFox]

Isn't Cutty's mine a reference to thief?

[@slackerdenile8836]

I think so, the atmosphere and cramped tunnels reminded me of Cragscleft.

[@user-pf4sk8im4b]

Came to the comments for that, it is yeah :)

[@noyouwillnot1169]

Also, the Escher Labs in episode 2(?) has a HUGE Thief 2 reference.

[@salaciouscreations4323]

I only watch this channel for the production values. The voice over and editing work are great. You both make a great team

[@Madkendler]

Hyper realistic graphics are great, but older looks can really add something to your game. The cut scenes in Planescape Torment, for example, are ugly as shit, but the look of them helps add to the other worldly vibe the whole game has.

The way your videos flow, man, they're flawless - keep you hooked an engaged.
