WayForward... have remade the original Contra arcade game from 1987 in the form of Contra: Operation Galuga.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not universally applied, 2024's best shooters tended to follow a particular cadence of shooting, smashing, stomping, vaporizing, obliterating, bashing, and/or annihilating with a partner or several partners in tow. If you weren't surviving the post-nuclear fallout wastelands of The Zone, odds are you were in the shoes of a super-solider dedicated to their cause: God and Country, Super Earth and Managed Democracy, or The Emperor and The Imperium of Man. Perhaps there weren't as many prominent new IPs to account for in this genre, but at least that's balanced out with wall-to-wall testosterone-laden action.

Thr guns feel so good, not just because of the dualsense, but the sound and "feel". Helldivers 2 is awesome.

"Contra: Operation Galuga switches on the time machine and bags some 1980s action hero glory - a near-perfect slice of retro run and gun fun."
