Quake II is a first-person shooter video game developed by id Software and published by Activision. It is not a direct sequel to Quake, id decided to revert to an existing trademark when they were unable to agree on a new name that did not violate another company's trademark.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Best game in the series, at least in my opinion. Weapons and movement feel great, and the enemies are fun too. Highly recommend.
Unadulterated old-school FPS action, accompanied by a heavy metal soundtrack. In 2023, it got a huge free update, adding support for modern OSes and consoles, adding the original expansion packs into the base game, and adding two new episodes: Quake II 64 and Call of the Machine.
This was the first shooter I got on my first own PC. I love the world, gameplay, and also enjoyed putting my own alternate soundtracks inserting my own CD instead of the game disc.
