Because I siphoned my list completely from my Steam and Switch purchases lists, I forgot Touhou Doom which was the best FPS I played this year.

Touhou Doom? I'll have to check if I can run it.

As for nominations, I only have a short list: Fast RMX, Super Mario Odysey and Metroid: Samus Returns.

It's a Doom II WAD. It doesn't take very much to run it. I know nothing about Touhou other than it's a famous bullet hell with girls, but playing this was like experiencing the genesis of a new genre of game.

Looks pretty crazy. First person SHMUP? Are all the boss fights in huge open arenas like that?

Already downloaded the pk3 file without checking the gameplay video. Don't really like the level design on Touhou Doom, but I'll just try and see if it will run.

[edit]
It doesn't run. Get a lot of script and parameter errors. Will have to stick with Ancient Aliens ;)

Ancient Aliens still the 2016 FPS of the year. For Touhou Doom I needed to run it in the latest GZDoom to get it going. And it's not about the levels, it's all in the bosses.
