It's insane how good it is, and I'm only halfway through the game right now. Every goddamn aspect is nearly perfect. I compare it to Quake because that's an obvious influence, but Dusk takes all the lessons from Quake and puts them to perfect use. If Quake was based on Half-Life, instead of the other way around, Dusk feels like what we'd have as a result.

No, but it has a hook powerup that lets you climb walls. Really, all of its powerups are incredibly fun and end up feeling unique.

I love it's single player, but it has its issues. Still one of the top in the genre imo.

Also, R spinning your weapons was brilliant. I hit it so often out of habit from FPS games now, seeing that tactile feedback even if it doesn't do anything in game is great.

Spinning guns actually does (minor) damage. You can break environment objects too.

It is. Literally every aspect of it is among the best in the entire genre.

Also of note:

Dusk was made by a single guy, with the music made by one other. That's insane.

I wouldn't say it's as good as Quake, especially as bland as Episode 2 is, but it's a lot of fun.

Because the factory environment is significantly less interesting to navigate than the rural areas or the other world areas.

I mean, if it was just the factory environments sure, but there's a hell of a lot of variety and every single level has some super memorable moments. The opening scene of the granary, a literal meat grinder, a research lab where reality has broken, becoming more otherworldly through the episode before the underground Ruins completely change the narrative of the game.

Andrew Hulshult's soundtracks have been killer and on-point.

I would've liked one or two added in the final act, but overall I'm ok with it because of how satisfying each one was.
