I think this is the best first-person shooter (FPS) game I've played in a while, and I've played a lot. I'm a sucker for any kind of cyberpunk-themed game, but I've been playing others of late and "boomer shooters" more generally (Deadlink, W40k: Boltgun, Trepang2, Sprawl, etc.) and not having nearly as much fun as with Turbo Overkill (TO). I've seen some posts about how it's the love-child of one developer, and I have no idea whether that's true because this is better than most of the AAA FPS I've played of late.

Seriously, the mechanics never cease to be fun, the weapons are well thought out and fun to use, the alternate fire modes are often just as glorious and inspired as the original Unreal Tournament, the movement mechanics are fun without turning into a boring wall-running simulator (I'm looking at you, Sprawl), ... I just never fail to have a great time with this. Now I'm only about 5 hours into it, so I've yet to see everything, but just when I thought I had done everything the game has to throw at me, I get in Johnny's car and start mowing down EVERYTHING in sight!!! Now I'm flying around this crazy beautiful neon nightmare cyberpunk metropolis in some crazy level and don't even want it to end.

Unless you downright HATE this type of game, or you're one of those players who can't stand anything that doesn't have the most bleeding-edge or extremely realistic graphics imaginable, then I do not see how you will fail to get your money's worth out of TO. This thing is an absolute gem, and I will be following this developer closely going forward, likely buying everything he turns out.
