Fans of boomer shooters right now:

The phrase "boomer shooter" doesn't refer to baby boomers, but rather the "30 year old boomer" meme.
A forced meme based on a very forced meme doesn't actually make any goddam sense.
Do we actually know with whom the term originated? Who popularized it? There is no specific entry for "boomer shooter" at Know Your Meme.
I'm sure it just took off because of the "quake, yep, that was a good game sips" boomer meme.
So no problem at all here.The only problem with the game is that when you buy it
Looks like crap.
Funny, the decent lovecraftian games are usually games not explicitly advertised as lovecraftian.
Sunless Seas/Skies is Lovecraftian in a somewhat whimsical way, though the games do often veer off into actual horror. Bloodborne is also Lovecraftian. There's Darkwood and World of Horror that have their own unique spin on things (Japanese and IRL Polish country life respectively).I havent seen a Lovecraftian game since Clive Barkers Undying in 2001. Which has nothing to do with Lovecraft funnily enough.
The problem is that "Lovecraftian" to retarded leftist writers doesn't mean "cosmic horror" but namedropping Cthulhu or Dagon and calling it a day. Now compare it to actually successful Lovecraftian games ala Undying or Bloodborne that, while adhering to the overarching concepts of Lovecraft's writing, also feature their own original content instead of recycling ideas from Lovecraft's own stories.Because the core of the "lovecraftian experience" is the unknown, the mystery and when you announce that you are doing something "lovecraftian" then automatically you cannot have anything unknown or mysterious because you already gave out 75% of whatever could have been the mystery.
that novel where the Deep Ones of Innsmouth are depicted as peaceful wiccans persecuted by teh Fascist Hoomans.
Or you can be some edgy posthumanist variety of progressive and have the Other as indeed monstrous for all intents and purposes and still depict becoming the Other, the loss ("transcendence") of one's humanity as "good". Them orgiastic blood-thirsty cultists did nothing wrong! I've read fiction that is like that.
Great so not only does it look like ass its also written like ass(and not the nice 2B one).the whole game is a whole waste of time because you went crazy and killed everyone in a frenzy hurr durr.
Here's a 30 min video that contains footage from many of the game's levels. Spoiler central.
