Honoring classic FPS tropes while incorporating modern elements, CULTIC is a fantastic choice for fans of intense gunplay. Its high-quality audiovisual presentation creates a palpable sense of tension that complements the gameplay, pitting the player against both dangerous humans and monsters. A wide array of resources is at the player's disposal, including various weapons, items, and movement mechanics to navigate the levels. Despite some minor issues, it is an excellent pick for fans of engaging and entertaining shooters.

Despite its undeniable merits, bear in mind that CULTIC pulls no punches: it begins in a classic, almost electrifying fashion, only to become increasingly sprawling and diffuse. Its core remains the same, but this split personality is something to seriously consider—especially given the shift in pacing and the resulting frustration caused by the more crowded sections.

CULTIC is a true love letter to classic shooters: fierce, bloody, and insanely fun, it captures the spirit of the great '90s FPS games while adding a crushing horror atmosphere and razor-sharp gameplay that keeps you glued to the screen from start to finish.
