Having followed the development since it was announced, it breaks my heart to review this in a negative way. I don't know if it just didn't live up to the hype I built during development or if I was expecting something else, but STRAFE feels too shallow and for some reason it did not spark that 90s flame I was expecting a short linear gameplay but got handed an empty roguelike game that feels too ordinary and mundane. If you want to bring back the 'ol times go play Brutal Doom instead.
