It's DOOM, what do you want me to say?! Just play it!

Pretty good game, however I think there are better source ports than this Steam version which literally runs off of a DOSBox, I was expecting for this game to get the DOOM or Quake treatment but apparently it didn't, but somewhat fun to play once in a while.

Quake is an absolute classic and I'm sure is a great source of inspiration for many of the modern retro "boomer-shooters", however, despite not only this but also me playing Half-Life in the beginning of 2024, I only got around to playing Quake in August 2024 using the Mark V source port, while I did buy the game on Steam, NightDive for some reason decided it would be a great idea to run this 1996 game on Vulkan and my really old computer doesn't even have that, so I could either only downgrade my game a lot for it to run or use Mark V, so Mark V it goes.

Quake is an absolute blast, it feels very much like Doom but I actually prefer this much more over the 1993 Doom title, I'm not sure if it's because I grew up with GoldSrc and old games in general, but Quake still controls really smoothly despite being almost 30 years old.

The ways that Quake takes similar steps to Doom is in the maze-like level layout, arcade-like stats for time; secrets and kills, HUD, etc. This makes the game really fun to play considering how you just pop-in a level, try your best, and get to see your score at the end.

Trent Reznor composed the OST for this game and it's probably one of my favorite videogame soundtracks. Despite being similar to Doom, the only song here that might make you bang your head back-and-forth is the main title theme, the rest is a spooky ambient soundscape with brilliant sound design. I totally recommend you check over Trent Reznor's other works like The Downward Spiral and The Fragile, he's an amazing composer and producer. You can even see his band's logo (Nine Inch Nails) on the boxes for nailgun ammo.

Quake is very smart with the weapon selection, you have eight weapons, most of them sharing ammo types, it really makes you think rapidly on which gun is more appropriate for each situation (besides the axe, that one's pretty useless, it's not even a "last resort" weapon considering how I've never found myself in a situation where my only option was the axe.) The enemy variety is good too, with its H. P. Lovecraftian inspired designs, *most* enemies feel fair to fight and feel like they require skill to master, take the Ogre for example, first time I played Quake I was stunned that an enemy as hard as them would be one of the first enemies introduced, I couldn't figure out how to beat them and almost always lost a ton of health, now I think they're incredibly easy to defeat! Most enemies pretty much include good movement and dodging abilities (even if that includes basically just circlestrafing), people often complain about the Vores but honestly they're pretty easy, just shoot them and find the nearest corner when they fire their homing attack. However, as I said earlier, only *most* of them seem well-balanced/designed, the Fiends are a cool enemy in concept but I don't like the absurd amount of health they take from you, sometimes they manage to take half of your health, I've heard that is a bug in the code but wow it really makes me hate this enemy, the Spawns are also horrible, they were designed late into development so they couldn't be retouched too hard, but I still think they could've at least not have made an enemy that jumps all over your face and blows up (usually in your face also) taking like 80 points of your health, it's not *too* bad if you quicksave and also know exactly where they are placed (and also because they die relatively quickly), but they still should've never been put into the game.

And don't get me started in enemy-placement. It's alright up until Episodes 3-4, Episode 3 ends with a pretty "screw you" approach to enemy placement, right as the level is about to end, they spawn two Fiends, one in front of you and one behind you, just to catch first-players off-guard, worst part? Whenever you die in this game, you have to start the level from the *very* beginning, Episode 4 is even worse, with Spawns being placed often in corners or in completely dark places just for you to not notice them until it's too late, in one instance, they place Fiends in front of you and like 3-4 Spawns *behind* you, it feels like a very cruel joke to do this to the player and it just doesn't seem fair, it's one of the game's aspects that has aged the worst.

Level design is pretty good, as I've said it follows the maze-like structure of Doom, each level is pretty short and they make it pretty obvious of where you have to go/what you have to do, so you don't get lost that often unlike Doom, and it's extremely fun to run around those places while bunnyhopping.

Multiplayer is actually funny enough the aspect of this game I've touched the least, this is because the multiplayer servers in Mark V would just not work, or because the multiplayer that did work was stuck in the Steam version, you also need to make a Bethesda account and I wasn't in the mood to do that so I just didn't play. I did try Deathmatch with bots and it was fun! But I think they truly mastered Deathmatch in Quake III Arena, for me it always felt like the bots could kill me incredibly easy and I could almost never kill the bots, but the deathmatch maps are pretty good too!

Despite the obvious flaws (Episode 4) I can't stress how good and important this game is, it was influential for modding/multiplayer/3D engines in general/the industry/etc. Doom might've been the first step into the rise of the FPS genre, but Quake truly nailed it.

9.5/10

it's pretty good! more portal is always appreciated :D

happy 20 year anniversary half-life 2!

Could be way more fun if there was more balance, some classes like the HWGUY kill everyone really easily and others (like the SCOUT) are only useful for flag-capturing.

Also, you can collide with your own teammates/fly away with their grenades, which makes getting stuck in tight corridors (something the game has a lot of) very very easy, makes clusters of players even more chaotic since everyone keeps spamming rockets/grenades which causes you to fly around all over the place, AND makes spy-checking 10 times harder.

The feeling on shooting enemies is pretty weak, and I never know for sure when I hit someone, the killchat doesn't highlight when you kill/got killed by someone so I always have to check.

It's a fun novelty, but I don't recommend, specially since it's not even free.

4/10

Real good, the music is catchy, art style is great, every level feels complex but rewarding to go through.

Final Boss of the Examtaker section SUCKS however, it just felt like a mindless game of trial and error.

9.5/10

This remaster really makes you FEEL like molasses drips off a spoon.

This game made me so angry I ripped my hair off pleas guys
1 like = 1 new hair on my head

An amazing achievement for just a group of fans, even if they got support by Valve.

The graphics are way more immersive and well done, looking like a straight upgrade to the Half-Life 2 graphics.

Xen was completely reworked and it looks amazing, different from anything I've seen in a game before.

My only gripe is the voice acting which is not the best in some places (specially the G-Man), besides that, It's an amazing and fun feat made by a group of passionate devs.

9.5/10
