Id Tech 4 unified lighting & shadows still feels made for horror

The ways to kill every boss seemed interesting (noticing every boss in the game has a health bar, so I think there is 3 or 4? There may be more, but those are enemies you'll never see a lot as you walk around on the battlefield) and the final boss was the most interesting, along with the story that went with it.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

The weapons have also mostly aged pretty well; they look cool, sound cool, and are fun to use.
Gameplay

I am already not a big fan of Quake II because it traded a unique mix of dark fantasy and sci-fi for a general sci-fi alien shooter but at least it still had a solid gameplay...
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

And YES — it absolutely feels like Doom 3’s cousin: the same moody lighting, heavy shadows, chunky sound design, and that dark sci-fi horror vibe.
