I didn't think I'd find solace in a high-octane FPS game that turns booting down doors and sending ragdoll enemies flying into each other into a fine art, but Anger Foot proved me wrong. Underscored by the head-pounding bass of what can only be described as thunderous, unrelenting rave music, developer Freelives really does the most to take the one-hit-kill, one-hit-death machinations of hack n' slashers like Ghostrunner to maniacal new heights.
You play as a shoe-crazed vigilante of sorts on a simple mission: clear the aptly titled Shit City of its thuggish hordes, ever in hot pursuit of your beloved Preemo Sneakers – as well as the rest of your stolen stash of sweet kicks. 'Kicks' is the operative word here, since your left foot is the star of Anger Foot's frenetic show as you smash up destructible environments, score new guns, and earn stars to unlock new ass-kicking footwear and the requisite buffs they can grant you. Sometimes they're just cool to look at, though, and other pairs are downright offensive. But I'll save the socks and sandals debate for another time.
