Best quake source port

And, in what's fast becoming a cliché, it looks spectacular on OLED. It runs at a locked 60fps with zero hitching, slowdown or stuttering. Believe us when we say that the developers didn't just sit on their hands - this is a game polished to the nth degree, a port that feels completely native to the Switch. Yes! The game that kickstarted the whole Boomer Shooter thing, New Blood's brilliant, bloodthirsty Dusk, has finally hit the Switch after over a year of delay. Unfortunately they've been a little bit slim in the ol' pickings on Nintendo, with only a passable port of Ion Fury and the rather good Project Warlock holding up the side. Now that those who grew up on the original Quake (currently available in a very good edition on Switch) are themselves developers, we're seeing a bigtime resurgence of old-school style first-person shooters, and we can't get enough. Thank whichever deity (or prominent YouTuber, we guess) that you believe in for the 'Boomer Shooter' explosion, and we mean explosion.
