A (currently) criminally overlooked boomer shooter. It's essentially what you get if Tim Burton wanted to make a shooter, and it's good, very good even - in fact I'd dare say it's absolutely fantastic. The gameplay is what you get if you take the combat from Quake and build it around game design similar to Painkiller and Serious Sam, with plenty to explore and a lot of carnage to create with your tools of destruction. As usual I break things down:

Pros:
- Chunky gameplay with very satisfying weaponry
- A small but well defined roster of enemies
- Really creative and cool levels that look and feel unique, weird, creative and distinct
- A soundtrack one may consider to be an absolute banger
- Plenty of replay incentives
- Performance is quite good

Cons
- Hitscan enemies can be surprisingly punishing
- Might be a little expensive
- On the shorter side, for those who care about length

IllWill does so much right, to the point where I can't really point out many cons at all. Maybe a few minor bugs here and there but no substantial issues for me. The developer set out and accomplished everything they wanted to do with this game, which is to make a really fun FPS, in fact they exceeded my expectations where illWill ended up among my favourite indie boomer shooters because it has such a strong identity in its weirdness on top of its stellar gameplay.

If you're into indie shooters then there's no reason not to pick up illWill, especially if you want to support a promising developer, which would be great since its gone quite far under the radar.
