E3's opening map is both and little piece of mindfuck.
Is this the first time ever that a section in a video game game was based off War with the Newts?

Just completed the game
My opinion of the game actually improved as the levels went by with the third episode ending up being my favourite. A very good game.
What the fuck was that final level tho?
You can actually use it as a weapon by using the alternative fire mode and throwing it like a molotov. Why would one waste a good bottle of wine like that tho?- rest of the weapons so far are meh (wine bottle is not even a weapon)
Thoughts after a couple of levels,
- I like that everything can be destroyed or interacted with
- music is cool and eerie
- shootgun feels good (!)
- rest of the weapons so far are meh (wine bottle is not even a weapon)
- enemies die too quickly on normal
- enemies have shitty design generally. the fat riot guard is a copy of Q1 ogres. Enemies are too similar
- secrets are decent
- level design is ultra basic, feels like a demo sometimes
TLDR Satisfying little retro shooter to pass the time 3.5/5

Is it just me or most of the people who played HROT didn't learn about the existence of the "Kick" button until way later?
Not exactly the "Alt fire" button, sorry for not being clear, it's the grenade throw button. While wielding the wine bottle you throw the bottle instead.As for alt fire, I havent encountered it in Ep 1. And its not in the controls
This is one of those specific situations, yes.kicking is VERY useful for kicking grenades back at enemies
There are a few arenas in Hrot but it's not as pervasive design choice as you make it out to be.Between this and Boltgun I'm starting to feel that recent boomer shooters conflate them with arena shooters. Arenas however, work really lousy in single player with brain dead enemies. Both are fun atmospheric games aside from that.
AUTODROM was a part of my childhood and the game did't let me ride on one of these cars. My disapointment was immeasurable.I'm wondering how people outside of a certain "cultural context" perceive this game, or even younger people who don't remember all the minutiae of living in the Eastern Block. I would assume that it's just a curio to them, while for an old fart it's like seeing childhood memories translated into a "Quake map".
I tried to ride them for about five minutes. I even tried loading the game before I killed those zapping wankers. I was hoping that I'll be able to use the one empty bumper car to zap them back and... you know... bump them. Like you should. No such luck, day ruined.AUTODROM was a part of my childhood and the game did't let me ride on one of these cars.

Or maybe i just failed to find the way to do it, who knows?
Great game, so many standout moments across all the episodes ...
One of the best throwback shooters, easily. Brave enough to really forge a unique identity for itself rather than just aping 90s games...
Communism as seen by western leftists vs communism as seen by people who had to live under it.
