Half-Life is Strange adds rewind powers and teen angst into Valve’s FPS.
“Boomer shooter” is an imperfect term that partially arose out of the multiplayer version of this type of game being called “arena fps” and becoming its own confusing insular side genre from singleplayer games of the day.
I prefer “movement shooter” as it emphasizes how core the movement is in either multiplayer or singleplayer types versions of these games. I love Xonotic because of its movement, the AFPS part actually is less interesting to me inherently, but the bunny hopping flow in games like Ultrakill, Xonotic, Quake and others is something 99.9% of modern shooters sadly ignore.
Xonotic is by far and away the best multiplayer movement shooter in my opinion and it is free and open source. This will give you a good feeling for “boomer shooters” on the multiplayer/bot bashing side.

Cultic is probably the most critically acclaimed singleplayer “boomer shooter” that I would consider at least partially a movement shooter, Ultrakill is also a must play.

Those games look cool, thanks for the recommendations.
I prefer “boomer shooter” because those games have more boom than boring modern shooters.
