The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Developed by the award-winning id Software, Quake® is the groundbreaking, original dark fantasy first-person shooter that inspires today’s retro-style FPS games.
Developed by id Software and released in 1996, Quake was one of the first fully 3D shooters, pushing technological boundaries with real-time 3D environments, advanced lighting, and online multiplayer that would define the future of competitive gaming.
Quakes gameplay isn't that crazy or anything: get to the end of the level and blow to absolute smithereens anything that moves on the way, while also finding secrets.
Not sure where else to put this, but the sound design is great.
The only complaint is the first episode of the main campaign is way too easy.
