What are the other two?
Is DUSK one of them?
But for sure, I love Ion Fury, there are some things it could still do, which I hope get rectified in the expansion (some t&a maybe, more dangerous enemies, some more powerful weapons), I really enjoy it as is too.

>pic unrelated or related?
I just wanted to post one of my screenshots since I can't phonepost anymore and I am not super frequently in the thread on pc :( .
But kinda sorta related? I thought that Ion Fury did have a good taste to it's references and everything, it had an identity enough of it's own that not everything is a reference though there are plenty good 'shoutouts' to the classics of the genre.

Well Done is what I'd consider pretty good but expect a lot of quickloads since sometimes the game's just plain cheap.

I personally have been thinking about Ion Fury and even though I don't think it's overly bland in terms of it's protagonist or anything there's one thing that I really liked about Shadow Warrior, Duke Nukem and Blood that is not present in Ion Fury but I can understand to some degree why they didn't go for it (both in terms of le current year concerns and also maybe the artistic direction)

Talking about how Duke, Blood and Shadow Warrior all had this kind of pulp magazine-y sexual / carnal aspect to them in their own ways like it's not just about "lel let's ogle tits" but Duke had the 'babes' that were being kidnapped or sexually used by the aliens, Shadow Warrior has female ninjas and both men and women tortured and killed and Blood features a lot of mutilated bodies of both men and women though Blood indulges way more on the gore and horror than sexual imagery but there's this big Eros / Thanatos play in all of them that's kind of absent from Ion Fury. Not saying that IF NEEDS it to be good but that's one of the things I kind of noticed while playing Shadow Warrior and Blood recently. But still I appreciate IF as a good game.

I'm fine with Shelly being "okay". They could try different approaches with the next character or something, in the end we're playing with a floating gun.

I think one of the things that GMan pointed out I'm not an eceleb cocksucker btw, checked his vid on a whim was that Ion Fury kinda definitely lacks that ''big / quirky gun'' from the lineup and even though it's nice to get solid playtime with the game's weaponry for sure, I was like ''oh?!'' when I picked up the minigun and got the cheevo for all weapons and there was still two thirds of the game left.
He complained about lack of ammo on Ultra Viscera which imo doesn't hold true especially if you explore a little since ammo pickups are everywhere on UV which was the difficulty I played on as well. Though imo being able to carry more chaingun ammo would've been useful.
More enemies / enemy types / variations and unique bosses would be neat as well but hoping we'll see that in the expansion!

Ion Fury maps can be very comfy at times. And are often furnished in a really detailed manner.
