Consider both audio and visuals. New and old. Is readability important? Is more always better than less? Which game nails this aspect?

Sin 1998 is one of my favorite childhood games, probably because i only played the first half and never played the second half where it ends on a cliffhanger. But recently i was rewatching Civvie 11's video on Sin Episodes to find out why it was somehow worst than original and man just the memories bro were back! This game is one of those games that basically killed the SiN brand, Sin Episodes is a boring half life mod with the most generic characters without any plot.

The thing that pissed me off the most was the fact that they never made a true sequel of the original game, so i have no idea what was the point of making a game that had nothing to do with the first one!? If i would compare, its just as bad as Blood 2 with its "Will Ishmael ever get home, what happened to Gabriel.. Gabriella?" ideas that were never put in the real game. Its bad when something you love never gets a sequel, but when that thing gets confused and tries to be something else. I can see why some people like Sin Episodes, its easy and fun to play for some and it has some cool ideas. But the problem this is "SiN" this isn't just another generic mod that everyone forgot, thats like making a movie about a popular novel or something and then add stuff that have nothing to do with that novel. Not to mention John Blade, the guy who talks with one of the best personalities ever is silent in this game like Gordon Freeman "For no reason!"

Also the ending makes no sense (Spoilers by the way) makes no sense, but the spoilers don't matter anyway because none of it makes sense and its not even enjoyable. Basically this cop girl Jessica or whatever who has no character and wants to be Alyx Vance so badly, gets injected with something by the main villain, but we never know because Sin Episode 2 was never released and for good reason because it had nothing to do with the first game and it just felt like a waste.

I'm sorry SiN episodes fans, this game was just boring and bland like stale bread and i felt like this game should have just been given a proper sequel but nope! Blood 2 was already bad, but this bro... this was just random and I'm glad i never heard about it until a few years ago. But here i am talking about, but what do you think? Do you think SiN was always a bad game, or do you think it could have been made better somehow?

Doom is a contender, certainly.

so I’m new to boomer shooters but I’ve loved the ones I’ve played so far so give me some more boomer shooters also I play on ps4 and xbox so no pc only sadly anyways the games I have played are

- doom 1 & 2

- quake 2

- serious Sam first encounter

and don’t know if it is one but also thinking of trying mullet madjack also heard Duke 3d is extremely good and if there’s any like them I also like roguelikes and horror so any boomer shooters with either of those would be AMAZING.
