- Cool story, super creative settings
What was probably the most major issue I encountered in my 10 hour playthrough of this first chapter was an upgrade for the super shotgun that did not carry over to the next level (an issue that the dev has acknowledged and intends to fix soon), but overall it's a very worthwhile offering for anyone clued in to the Quake golden era of FPS.
Something you'll need to learn when playing is that every part of your arsenal--with the possible exception of the spell you receive on the penultimate level--serves a vitally important role in the gameplay loop, and that role isn't always obvious.
The gun play and spells are fun to use, but in my opinion some of the lighting still needs work and I couldn't really use the MP-40 in this game to the full potential as I would end up giving myself a headache after a while so maybe a setting on how rapid the flashing is with the muzzles or something like that would be a lovely thing of the developer to add in for fellow migraineurs and epileptics!
Real unique vibe with an excellent soundtrack underpinning it.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
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. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 5 sampled reviews and are not shown.
