What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
This free graphics overhaul of Quake II is generally pretty good but there is a definite lack of attention to detail throughout.
+/- Quake II RTX has all the normal non-graphical strengths and weaknesses of Quake II (not including Quake II’s add-ons), including, great enemies, great weapon design, good controls, OK sound, interesting mission objectives, good level design, fun gameplay, pretty good but totally linear story, mediocre enemy AI, overall game might be too easy, bosses are definitely too easy, not a very long game (especially without its add-ons/additional mission packs), etc.
Quake II RTX feels somewhat clunky or perhaps poorly optimized by comparison.
QUAKE 2 RTX also features multiplayer support, allowing players to engage in thrilling online battles with friends or other players from around the world.

I was always a defender of Quake II despite it being unrelated to the first game, as I feel its weapons are just as fun Quake I (and better than modern fps games sans Doom 2016/Eternal).
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No recurring complaints surfaced in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 4 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
