    While yes, it is technically part of the old-school shooter movement, Xibalba is pretty unique. Featuring a Mayan setting, the gameWhile yes, it is technically part of the old-school shooter movement, Xibalba is pretty unique. Featuring a Mayan setting, the game immediately separates itself from the pack, and only builds on this via the use of 2D cartoony enemy sprites.

    As a product, Xibalba is a real throwback, we're talking boss battles, labyrinthine level design and a super-shotgun. It also draws influence from other areas too, namely the horror genre through its effective use of a flashlight and some pretty damn terrifying sub-bosses. Each 'cutscene' as well features this beautiful hand drawn art style that really gives the game a sense of identity, something that old-school FPS's at the top of the pile even fail to capture.

    It does have a couple of issues, mostly linked to the level design, as its hard to find the exit to certain levels, due to their labyrinth nature. This was also a problem with titles like Blake Stone though, so its really not the end of the world here.

    Xibalba is definitely a game worth trying out if you're a fan of the genre, and while it might not be the best you'll play in the genre this year, it'll still be a memorable playthrough.    … Expand
