How it feels

a frantic, old-school first-person shooter that blends fast-paced combat with oppressive Mayan-themed horror

What players say

Players are split on Xibalba. Some enjoy the unique Mayan theme and smooth shooting in early levels, but many agree the game becomes unbalanced later, with bullet sponge enemies forcing speedruns. Performance problems, a limited save system, and a muddy color palette also draw criticism.
