• Новое ретро: Обзор Dread Templar - 6 February 2023

  Мода делать шутеры “под старину” существует уже много лет, но среди огромного количества релизов очень редко можно услышать о каких-то действительно успешных экспериментах. Пять лет назад DUSK вскружил голову геймерам и оказался самым заметным старорежимным шутером, предложив драйвовый геймплей и массу интересных ситуаций. У него появилось немало подражателей, но многие разработчики, к сожалению, в попытках выехать на чувствах ностальгии лишь паразитировали на внешнем виде, забывая, собственно, создать хорошую игру.
