While paying tribute to vintage games is much better than today's schlock, I still can't help but feel annoyed by how formulaic and samey these all wind up being. Oh look, this one is in a speudo 3D engine with sprites, just like Doom and Duke Nukem! Or this one has low poly models with choppy animations, just like Quake! Or how about those br00tal sound effects and music style, it sounds just like Doom 2016! And how can you forget about ALL THE BLOOD, like in Brutal Doom and again Doom 2016!

Is this the FPS equivalent of redrawing Megaman's sprite to look like a random character and passing it off as an "8-bit sprite" of said character? If this was any indication of what PC gaming had to offer in the 90s, that being samey first person shooters with little to differentiate them, it's no surprise that many people assumed that the platform was dead.
