Blood is easily one of the most fun I’ve had with any first person shooter game ever, without Blood I never would of got into boomer shooters, Blood was my first, my gateway into the game I know and love today, but in way Blood being my first boomer shooter almost ruined every other retroFPS for me, because NONE OF THEM are as good as Blood was to me, I’d pay top dollar to be able to play blood for the first time again, it’s timeless, any other shooter that I’ve played it’s easy for me to get burnt out, play only a level, when I get on Blood by myself and start playing it’s customary to finish at least one episode, I feel like an idiot writing this because I’m talking about the game instead of playing it, Blood easily the height of the Build Engine, Duke Nukem 3D or Shadow Warrior pale in comparison.

The guns in Blood stick out like a sore thumb compared to other shooters of yesteryear,
No wimpy starting pistol, you get a flare gun that can ignite heaps of sorry cultists, no boring pump shotgun that you get before the double barrel, the sawed off is the most satisfying weapon to use in any game I’ve ever played, Caleb is a gunslinger so he reloads his shotgun fast, and when you have the ammo you can turn any of Tchernobog’s minions into corpses with ease and by the time one cultist or zombie is dropped on the floor dead you’ll of killed 10 more while Caleb laughs as you tread over the still warm bodies.

Blood will bend you over and find you in the alps, higher difficulties will have your screen turning red faster than you can say “Crudox Cruo”, hitscanning black robed cultists will shred you with a tommy gun as soon as they see the red of your eyes, hordes of zombies will resurrect as you walk across burials, flying phantasms will fade in and out of reality as they let out blood curdling shrieks, Blood is terrifyingly fantastic, a horror game it’s core, you'll be on the edge of your seat as you walk through haunted mansions, forgotten crypts, evil laboratories, and dark carnivals.

I will never stop playing Blood, never, it’s one of my favorite games and I have endless respect for Nightdive for remastering such a masterpiece, GT interactive for publishing the apex of Build, and Monolith for creating the very game I write about, Blood will forever be one of my favorite games.
