A friend of mine on discord has always been a big fan of old school shooters. Doom Engine, Build Engine, you name it. He even introduced me to Civvie-11. I've always had an interest in these types of games, they just have a certain thing about them, but due to my disability, fast reflex shooters never meshed well with me. Despite that, I've been plugging away at GZDoom since I discovered it was free, and was even gifted a copy of Doom II to go with it. I also have FreeDoom, and Chex 3.
I thoroughly enjoyed Chex 3, played on difficulty 2. I could probably have done it on 3, but that is most likely the limit of what I can handle. Doom II raked me over the coals. I was feeling pretty hot when I got through Dead Simple, but tricks and traps put me in my place. Since then I've been playing Ashes on "relaxed." Could probably up it a bit, but I like the chill vibe for now.
I came here to ask what else it out there that might be more suitable at a lower skill audience. So far I've found the Adventures of Square, and that is fun too. It's a nice middle ground between Chex and Doom proper. I'm really glad I found these games. Despite having no extra mechanics other than shoot enemy with gun, they're great. I find myself just secret hunting, and I really want to push to be proficient at difficulty 3. Hurt me Plenty is my current plateau for Chex and Doom 1, Doom 2 is a whole different animal, forget master levels.
I'm rambling now, but I hope I got the point across. Thanks for reading and I appreciate any recommendations you leave!
