And it still has the gameplay that I enjoyed in the first one.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 274 sampled reviews raised it
Whatever resources were saved on HUD elements, graphics, and lighting (ROTT doesn admittedly look the most rough around the edges compared to its’ IdTech stablemates like Wolf3D, Doom, Heretic and the like) were clearly invested in many other technical areas of the game however.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
11 of 274 sampled reviews raised it
The shooting is still great and there are more weapons as well.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
10 of 274 sampled reviews raised it
Its neat to see a Wolf3D-era shooter with a semblance of story and more progression than just "find your way through this giant maze." TL;DR TOOK INFORMANTS STUFF anD SHOT HIM DEAD 11/10 WOULD MURDER AGAIN.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 274 sampled reviews raised it
Enemy animations, weapon feedback, and sound effects all serve the fantasy of being a lone agent infiltrating a dystopian facility.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
6 of 274 sampled reviews raised it
You'll get lost and frustrated, but the difficulty is balanced with playability, and that's what keeps a connoisseur of first-person shooters from giving up.
