The synopsis really is "It", but its quite a good sell. I've been looking to play this game (preferably in a legal sense) for over a decade now. Made by the Carnivore devs, based on Dr Moreau, crazy action, cheesy plot, right timeline of fun jank FPS games on PC. Yet it seems to have questionably no physical circulation in the US, and is definitely not "for sale" on the digital space. I haven't played it myself, but its been an off/on online obsession to check back on it, skim playthroughs, and critiques on it. So technically I have no memories of myself playing the game, but so badly want it available so I can have a story within it.
This is the game that the ukrainian dev Action Forms made before Cryostasis. It is quite different though. Not nearly as slow or as story-focussed.
First impressions can be quite bad as the outdoors environments are frankly ugly and while the story has an occasional good moment to offer, the beginning lacks a hook.
I do not want to spoil, but in terms of how the combat works, enemy types to fight and environments the player will visit, there was a satisfying progression here that surprised me.
This one is a good game hiding behind weak first impressions and mediocre gameplay, but there really is a lot to appreciate here.

IkarugaIn this vertical scrolling spaceship shooter, you control a ship that can change its polarity at will. As blue/white, the ship can easily destroy red/black enemies, and vice versa. Bullets of your polarity can be collected to fuel your energy gauge, but those opposite will kill you. Destroying an enemy ship causes them to fire revenge bullets which can be absorbed and fired back by the player. Different difficulties exist to change exactly how you interact with polarized points, or how they appear.
It is the spiritual successor to Radiant Silvergun, featuring similar level and boss design, as well as it's buddhism inspired themes and aesthetics. Both are directed by Hiroshi Iuchi, who also composed Ikaruga's soundtrack.Action Science fiction
Resident Evil SurvivorResident Evil Survivor is the first Resident Evil title to be rendered in real time as opposed to making use of pre-rendered backdrops. Levels are explored in first person, and when enemies are encountered the press of a button will bring up a targeting reticle for shooting. As with most light-gun games there is infinite pistol ammunition available, but limited ammunition for more powerful weapons. At the end of each level two doors are presented which both lead to different levels, although all paths eventually lead to the same ending.Action Horror Survival
