cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ninja/post/10393 [https://lemmy.ninja/post/10393] > “Boomer shooter” is the latest term to follow the likes of “Roguelike” or “Soulslike” in the realm of hyperspecific gaming subgenres. It applies to first-person shooters that intentionally harken back to the classic PC games of the late ‘90s like Doom and Quake. >
