Quake II

Quake II is such an awesome game. You boot it up and 5 minutes later you're blasting Strogg into chunks with a super shotgun while metal music is kicking. No crafting. No battle pass. No "talk to the villagers." Just pure f*cking violence. The Strogg are still some of my true favorite enemies in gaming too. They're disgusting. They're ugly. They're half machine, half corpse, and every weapon in your arsenal feels specifically designed to turn them into spare parts. ohh man, the guns. The shotgun. The super shotgun. The railgun. Absolute p*rnography. What I love most is that Quake 2 never wastes your time. It knows exactly what it is. Here's a gun. Here's a horrible cyborg. Solve the problem. Thankfully it goes straight to the point, you never get lost, the compass is really helpful and well made. The enhanced version is fantastic too. It cleans modernises everything without messing with the soul of the game, runs great, includes a ton of content (all the expansions and Quake II 64), and even comes with the original versions if you want to play it exactly like it's 1998 on a PC that sounds like a tractor engine. It is really worth it, i recommend buying the whole Quake saga when it is on sale, you wont regret it. I've finished this game more times than I can count and every time I tell myself "just one level before bed." That is always a lie. 10/10, the Strogg have been getting slaughtered over and over again for almost 30 years and I'm still not tired of it.

Played it in my youth and it still is a lot of fun today. A classic 3D Shooter of its time.

a classic PC game that influenced everything in 3D that came after, the nightdive reproduction improves every aspect of the game in all ways possible
