"Boomer shooters" -- I love it! As I said below, I absolutely loved these responses, BTW. I grinned all the way through reading them. I have Portal 2 in my Steam inventory, but I've not tried it yet. I haven't come close to finishing the original yet. I played Rogue-likes in the old days, but I think I am more or less over that now, TBH. The same partner who I mentioned below as being really into sim-world type games got really into ADOM for a while, but it's too much of a good thing for me. I had a very brief play of Doom 3, but it was _way_ too hard for me. :-/ I have not tried anything since. I probably don't have any hardware capable of playing it, TBH. I've not even heard of any of those "cosy low skill" games, but I will take a look. It does sound more my speed, TBH. "Cuphead" looked amazing and I was considering buying it, but all the reviews talked about how hard it was. Since Doom 3 was impossibly hard for me, and few reviews even mentioned the difficulty past the duct-tape-a-flashlight-to-your-gun mod, I figured if everyone though Cuphead was hard, it wasn't even worth trying. :-( Skill levels in games are very important, and much neglected these days, IMHO. As a 55YO left-handed guy with a broken right arm that doesn't work very well and never will again, my idea of what's playable is very different indeed from the conception of someone in their 20s who grew up with immersive 3D games controlled via two-handed gamepads. Before I broke my arm for the 3rd time in April, I was pretty competent with WASD + a mouse, even though I was about 28 when mouse-strafing was first invented. (The one-time UK Doom champion was a colleague and friend of mine. He now does data visualisation and is amazing at it.) But I am rubbish with a joypad. I do not like them at all. That's why I didn't buy anything newer than a PS2.
