This is Gravity Push, a physics-based FPS on Unreal Engine 4 with X3DAudio HRTF [IRC_1037]. This was actually one of the first itch.io games I ever wanted to record for this channel before starting this series. My rig wasn't up to recording it at the time, though. That's okay, because it still isn't!

Optimization issues aside, this is a pretty fun little game I assume was some person's student project. The movement speed is surprisingly fast and reminds me of Unreal Tournament. I do think the way you destroy towers is pretty annoying due to the hit detection, but that can be forgiven. Not sure what went up with the background geometry, though. It wasn't like that on my older hardware.
