Not really sure what compelled me to play this game in particular, but having been home sick for three straight days and finally having enough energy to game between sporadic naps, I'm glad I did.

Darkwatch is just a good ol' fashioned shooter with great theming. Reminds me a lot of modern Doom, actually. No XP systems, no weapon mods, no green and purple rarity, just a shooter. Point reticule, make skeleton explode.

Looks really great on 360 too. Sadly, doesn't work on Series X, but it definitely gets some sort of facelift through the 360's emulation. It looks like a modern HD remaster. Some of that is going to be from my mClassic upscaler - which, despite the hate that thing gets, actually works great with 480p/720p consoles - but it does nevertheless look a step above most Xbox games.

Only downside is that this game definitely has that 2000s thing where every female character has massive tits and ass for no reason, which is definitely off-putting, but you hear them far more often than you see them, so I can mostly ignore it. 🤷

This just came in the mail. If my memory serves, this was Doom Eternal before Doom Eternal. There ain't many western games so this one stands out. Guns, gore, ghouls and gals! This town is big enough for 'em all.
