    Repetitive, archaic and boring shooter. Don't get where all the hype comes from.

    Задумка разработчиков сделать ретро шутер с новыми фишками кажется вполне каноничной, однако есть один нюанс - двигло. Игра написана на юнити, из чего вытекает множество различных багов, которые разработчик так и не пофиксил.

Игра написана на юнити, из чего вытекает множество различных багов, которые разработчик так и не пофиксил. Например, классический глитч с проходом через стены из-за прицела, направленного максимально вверх. Есть механика кувырков, которая работает через задницу после первого прокручивания камеры. И таких багов действительно очень много, что прямо-таки бросается в глаза. А так, это очередной хороший представитель инди, точно достойный для вашего ознакомления.… Expand

    What are the critics smoking? Evolution of genre frozen in time? Ok lets see what we have:
    Game which feels like hd mod of Quake 1/Duke Nukem 3D. So nothing new/special. On one hand it has amazing atmosphere (which is made mostly by awesome sounds and creepy concept of cultists devilish goats scarecrows) on second - its plain ugly. Weapons looks well just awfull. Enemies too. Its fast and    What are the critics smoking? Evolution of genre frozen in time? Ok lets see what we have:

Enemies too. Its fast and fluid like Quake 1 but how is it any better than well Quake 1? It isnt.
    Genre did evolve, we have story packed games with awesome graphics memorable protagonists (even blood had cool Caleb and Duke Nukem 3D - Duke Nukem :D, hell Wolfenstein had Blazkowitch) like Halo, Half Life, Call of Duty, Destiny, Bioshock, Metroid Prime, Wolfenstein, Doom etc. In terms of pure fps mayhem I can compare this to for example recent Shadow Warrior 1/2 or Doom - and Dusk is definitelly worse game than any of them.
    So is it a bad game? No. But without much trouble You can find as good mods to Quake 1 as Dusk is.    … Expand

    The good: beautiful music score, fast and fluid movement, precise mouse control, 90's retro look and feel, secrets to discover in each map. The mediocre: stock standard weapon selection - no innovative weaponry, graphics - personally I find this game to look worse in parts than even some of the old classics (no pixelation to boot).

The bad: lifeless protagonist, background and story severely lacking, poor weapon animations, progression from one map to another feels ad-hoc - no sense of what ties them geographically together, many maps are boring to play. Bottom line: i had fun in parts but ultimately had to force myself to finish the game - the originals such as Doom, Quake, Blood, Sin, etc. still reign supreme.… Expand

    Overrated game that is only reviewing well due to nostalgia. If you want to play good classic FPS, just play games like the Classic Doom, Unreal or Quake.

    Mi piaceva anche se speravo in qualcosa di più. Ha un ritmo frenetico ma dopo un po' mi ha reso un po' ripetitivo.

    Eski doom usulü aksiyonu ve müziğiyle oynaması zevkli, bölüm tasarımlarıyla sıkıcılıktan uzak kalmayı başaran dikkate değer bir eser.

    This is a decent game that is entertaining enough for the fans of this type of games.

    Everything was put together really well, but...
    Episode 1 is great, Episode 2 is fine, Episode is mostly good. Levels are either the size of a stadium or a McDonald's playplace. Gunfights are fun, that grenade launcher Weapon is awkward to use. I believe a 7/10 is good, but metacritic doesn't.

    Dusk is a mixture of everything good that the 1990s gave to action games. The fun returns in a form of a straightforward retro shooter, which is intense and dynamic like a ride in a sport car with manual gearbox. Great experience not only because of nostalgia. [Issue#293]

    Dusk does a decent job at recreating elements that were fun in Doom, Quake or Wolfenstein 3D, but as a whole it lacks a direction other than being a love letter to classic FPS games, a homage assembled out of components that do not always fit together well. [02/2019, p.42]

    Dusk offers a tribute to old-school shooters with a fantastic level design, frantic gameplay and an excellent OST.
