Like its cyborg protagonist, much of Turbo Overkill&#8217;s core DNA has been augmented with newer, shinier design ideas. It borrows as much from games like Doom Eternal and Titanfall 2 as it does from the classics of the nineties. It has upgradable weapons, character perks, driveable vehicles, detailed first-person cutscenes, all played out on a scale that simply wouldn&#8217;t have been possible back in 1997.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nEither way, what matters is this: Turbo Overkill is <em>fucking<\/em> amazing. Its specific combination of past and present produces a riotously entertaining gunfest where &#8220;Escalation&#8221; isn&#8217;t so much a storytelling technique as it is a lifestyle choice. It is wholly committed to being as cool, colourful and creative as it possibly can, a game that starts by putting a chainsaw in your leg and ends with the goddamn techopalypse.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nYour avatar for this ballistic rollercoaster is the wonderfully named Johnny Turbo. A bounty hunter living in a typically gaudy cyberpunk future, Johnny returns to his home city of Paradise to find it literally riddled with Syn. I don&#8217;t mean the concept of religious transgression, although there&#8217;s plenty of that in Paradise too. No, Syn is one of those malevolent AIs that dystopian futures keep foolishly creating, with freshly installed delusions of godhood and a psychotic desire to assimilate all organic and synthetic life. The result is a neon metropolis infested with writhing fleshy tendrils, guarded by hordes of mutilated humans with TVs for heads.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/turbo-overkill-review-the-new-cyber-god-of-boomer-shooters\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source &#8211; eurogamer.net<\/p>\n<p>All content and images belong to their respected owners.
