See a flashing yellow wall? Yep, that's a runnable wall for your pleasure. A grappling hook (incredibly, a close second to the chainsaw leg) acts as a gap closer. Later, you get the ability to fire missiles from your wrist and salute the explosions with a flourish of the middle finger. Trust me, those same people who wanted Apex's slide will amend their arguments to 'All FPS games need a protagonist who can slide AND protrude a leg fitted with a chainsaw and/or other sharp, rotating implement!!' It elevates the typical FPS slide into one that reeks of attitude and petroleum. When Apex Legends came out and did the whole slide downhill thing, everyone was like, 'All FPS games need a slide like this!!' Johnny Turbo's chainsaw leg is the answer, except it answers to nobody. Pop a slide and you'll extend your chainsaw appendage like a whirring mandible, and chew through enemies with ease. Then again, you have a chainsaw for a leg. The place has been overrun by augmented meatheads and girthy abominations, all of which wish to rip your chainsaw leg from its metal socket. In Turbo Overkill you play as Johnny Turbo, a cyberman who's returned home to Paradise, only to find it's been overwhelmed by a rogue AI called Syn.

You won't concentrate on anything harder in your lifetime.

And amidst the sick grinds and spilling of guts you're drip fed weapons and power-ups that only serve to keep the momentum ticking over. It's a rip-roaring blast through a cyberscape that doubles as a skatepark for your chainsaw leg. Not in the sense that is has nothing left to give, but that it feels ready to give even more. Turbo Overkill is a retro-inspired FPS that's still in early access but already feels complete. A perfectly paced retro-inspired FPS which'll have you wishing every future video game protagonist is outfitted with a chainsaw for a leg.
