Very enjoyable 90s FPS

Quake II tends to get a bad rep. This is mostly due to the fact that it's a follow-up to one of the greatest FPS ever released, which is Quake. Quake II lacks the Lovecraftian world, is much slower, and nowhere near as frenetic and challenging. Once one has accepted that Quake II is a very different game, one can begin to like it for what it does well. The enemies are varied, encounters nicely balanced, weapons progression makes a lot of sense, and the levels manage to be semi-open yet you still always know where to go and what to do. The only real issue are the bosses: You pop quad damage and that's it, each of them takes 5-10 seconds to beat. Also, if you don't like brown or gray, the graphics may not be to your liking. Each of the mission packs are roughly half as long as the original. The Reckoning essentially is more of the same, albeit not as inspired. New enemies are just old enemies with new abilities, the levels can get confusing at times, and some of the new weapons are game-breaking good. The last few levels get really tedious, as you're fighting an enemy capable of one-shotting the player over and over again. Ground Zero is usually panned, but for no good reason. The first Unit is clearly the weakest: overly complex and confusing, with lots of backtracking and 'What now?' moments. From there, it gets better and better: Challenging new enemies, decently original weapons, and some imaginative level design. Sure, the turrets are tedious, but two rail hits and they're scrap. Some have said Ground Zero is unnecessarily hard, but even on hard difficulty, it really still isn't. Bosses can still be vaporized within seconds by abusing power-ups. Overall, while not as memorable or genre-defining as its predecessor, Quake II is a straightforward and fun little FPS that aged surprisingly well. I recommend playing this in a source port. I've used Yamagi and had zero issues at any point.

Best multiplayer game ever.

Little advice from a veteran. Get a friend. Load Q2DM1. Duel. Give it some time. Once you start understanding the map (it's not as immediate as it seem, far from it) and once you start learning the trick jumps I assure you, you'll have the best online experience of your life.

Quake 2 Remastered, a Masterpiece

This will be a review of the Remastered version of Quake 2 that was released. First, I have to say that my excitement and joy when I heard about the news on Quakecon and that it was coming out of nowhere on the same day was truly a joyous experience, but how is the game itself? Starting with the overall elements of the remastered that can be noted are the improved graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay additions with crossplay and crossgen without the need for a Bethesda account unlike the Quake 1 remastered. Content wise they featured the original game and its expansions the Reckoning and Ground Zero with an additional brand-new campaign by Machine Games title the Call of the Machine and a surprise addition of Quake 2 64 remastered levels (only the ones that were new to that game as it featured the main game and some additional levels) Special mention to the addition of the compass to the equipment wheel as it improves the experience a whole lot as all of the Quake 2 levels are contriving mazes that lead into other hubs. How is the game itself? It cannot get better than this, the overall gameplay loop in addition to the soundtrack creates a masterful menagerie of a gameplay loop with the core weapons feeling like they all belong and worthy of use. The campaigns are all excellent with special mention to the Call of the Machine which is new to the remastered. That features extremely varied locale and new bosses with a gigantic leap in difficulty and something for the lore experts as well (The origins of the Strogg and the connection to Q1 might satiate people’s appetite). Original Quake 2 campaign is a classic with a main theme of Strogg bases/industrial locations which do not overstay their welcome. The Reckoning is a gigantic expansion with varied locale and new weapons, but the length might be to its detriment as the last stretch is overly long. Ground Zeros is the same thing but improved pacing and weapons and Q64 is a nice addition albeit rushed at the end. 10

Still Holds Up

Really no complaints. The movement is top notch, great weapons, iconic enemies, awesome music. If you've never played the game then now is the time, this upgrade is well worth it.
