More often than not, games will disappoint rather than surprise us; however, once in a while, we get the exact opposite!

When it comes to first-person shooters, fans of the genre are essentially spoiled for choice at all times.

It’s that final example that serves as an inspiration for many shooters lately, including Sacrificio on Steam, but it’s not the only property this game resembles.

Sometimes, you've even got a long, maze-like series of stages to traverse, or an elaborate list of objectives to complete. There's usually so much more than mindless shooting to contend with.
