I got to try out the Europa demo. It's a beautiful game with a linear path, and a little bit of platforming. I wanted to explore this world and the game wouldn't let me. It really sucks knowing this. There are strangely placed items and the controls aren't the greatest. A real disappointment on my side.

I've been thinking about how we don't get any masculine action-shooter games these days. None.
A game where you play as a badass bloke exploring a dangerous world with cool and unique weapons while facing off against challenging AI in interactive worlds? Nope.
Not since the original Gears trilogy, Halo trilogy, and maybe Max Payne 3 have we had a game with chiefly masculine attributes and a good combat system.
Red Dead Redemption 2 had a pretty trash combat system with weird movement controls where you couldn't just properly run and hip fire quickly, and Arthur had a horrible habit of getting stuck on environmental geometry. Plus auto-switching from the melee weapons after doing a dash-attack made it where you couldn't just go around axing people conveniently.
I look at all these games on this list and watched a few trailers, and there is a substantial lack of testosterone there. I've been replaying older games, like Miami Vice and True Crime on the PS2, and it's quite telling just how far removed we are these days from playing as cool, masculine leads with good gunplay. It's one of the things the Switch really lacks (given most of these games are for the Switch), and it's a shame that even the SNES and N64 seemed to have a more diverse selection of masculine action titles than the Switch.
You should check out Boomer Shooters. I didn't have any listed, because I prefer stuff like Quake or Doom in its original form. I'm playing Boltgun right now, and it's got me trapped in an area for a few weeks now. Lovely.
Check out the classic and design section I will be posting next.
Thanks will look out for that section.
And yeah I bought a few boomer shooters, like Prodeus and BPM. Haven't heard of Boltgun but I will check it out.
Check it out
