“DUSK is a masterclass in how to bring old-school shooters into the modern era without sanding off what made them special in the first place. From the moment it drops you into its grimy, backwoods nightmare, it’s clear…”
“[h3] I love this game. [/h3] Simple graphics (actually very catchy), maps/levels are all different and non-repetitive. There's also some storyline, I think, but I didn't get into that. I'm in for the action. Movement is…”

“very good game i like level design and episode 3 and good weapons and good movement good soudntrack very good game 👍👍👍👍”
“Graphics are simple, and so is the action. But why is that a bad thing? The controls are tight, it's super easy to hop in and play for as short or as long as you like. Most of the levels have a great feel about them as…”

“I got this game when I got 5 random keys. I didnt have high hopes, but when I saw that they also published ULTRAKILL, it had to be decent. So, I tried it. 9/10 game. Reminds me of QUAKE and DOOM 64 in the best ways…”
“It do be working on a 9800 gts lol. Love it when a dev say it's gonna work on an pc that could drink and it actually does at 60 ish framerate.”

“Clunky movement, repetitive levels, and bland enemy design kills any fun. This overhyped retro shooter collapses in the final act. The "big bad" Final Boss - cult leader Jakob is just a weak puppet you one-shot. Final…”
“Overhyped game Strange level design, poorly made enemies (remove cowgirls from the game lol), useless weapons I thought at least a brutal soundtrack could save this game, but... most of the game is silence/ambient So…”
“Remember that meme where i guy eating a sandwich says: "i mean, its alright... like... overrated in my opinion" Gameplay is very simple, and enemies are sincerely irritating. Mullet jack or post void are WAY better.”

“The gunplay feels good. Everything is quick and responsive. Swapping weapons, circle strafing, clearing rooms in seconds. It all works. The arsenal is simple but effective, and a few weapons stand out more than others.…”
“I deleted this game because it had bad graphics, but it dosent matter anymore. DUSK is basically combining Half-Life's physics and throwing-picking up gimmick, and puts it into a 00's style boomer shooter. I currently…”

“Nice gameplay, the game has incorporated the best features from classic FPS from 90th. Separately want to mention cool background music, which I like to listen when work in noisy environment.”
— a player, Steam review · 21 hrs played“Probably one of the most accessible games I've played, It's truly refreshing. The game offers the traditional easy, normal, hard, extreme; but it also offers a fourth, easier option, accessible. It's designed with disabled players in mind and tested by David Szymanski's disabled…”

Episode 3 especially was a lot of fun with the creativity on display. Bonus point for almost everything being a pickup that can act as a…”
