Playing this on Murder Machine was the most fun I've had in an FPS since Doom Eternal on Nightmare: every new adrenaline-pumping combat scenario not only made me sweat with joy, but made me appreciate just how rich and deep the enemy, weapon and level design were. I was seriously impressed at just how much the game did to constantly raise the stakes...
After falling in love with Ultrakill a couple of years back, a friend recommended Turbo Overkill to me, claiming that it is very similar to UItrakill.

Oh my, where to even start?
In the first chapter I kinda liked the game but from there it just kept dropping and by the final battle in episode 3 I just had enough of this game.
It drags on WAY too long and keeps recycling the same go into location X to have the next arena battle start cycle. It just gets old very fast and doesnt manage to keep it interesting...
