ULTRAKILL is still in Early Access, which is worth knowing before you buy—but it's one of the most mechanically complete Early Access shooters I've played. The retro visuals and tight Unity optimization yield 100+ FPS on Iris Xe at 1080p Low. Weapon juggling, movement tech like dashing and slamming, and the style-meter system reward mastery in a way that keeps sessions engaging long after the initial run. There's no multiplayer, which is fine given the mechanical depth of the solo content, but if you need a co-op option this isn't it. For offline, hardware-friendly, skill-ceiling shooting, it's one of the best picks on this list.

Overview
