The Abbey Road of FPSs
Quake is a fantastic shooter with a memorable aesthetic. The gameplay is fast-paced and consistently exciting. Its artistic themes are sufficiently spooky and have been seldom recreated elsewhere. This game evolves the classic FPS into three proper dimensions. It takes advantage of verticality in its map design, which is something that can be lacking in many shooters. Movement is quick for both the player and enemies, leading to many engaging fights in open and closed arenas. Every weapon has distinct uses, and the levels allow for freedom in combat approach without eroding each weapon's uniqueness. This release also contains a lot of content, with an easy method to gain access to more through add-ons. The newest episode, exclusive to this release, is of great quality and has a fun twist to the hub structure of the campaign. Multiplayer is also as easy to get into than ever with this version, and holds up quite well online today. Its art style is very strong and captivating. The several gothic cathedrals, foreboding landscapes, and oddly low-poly enemies all result in an excellent atmosphere. Its graphics skillfully compliment the high-octane gameplay, allowing the player to feel powerful amidst the rather otherworldly threats. The ambient music helps immensely to drive home the game's creepy vibe, with its use of strange instruments, droning tones, and incessant whispering. The title track also kicks major butt and illustrates the sensory experience of playing the game. Its story largely doesn't exist, but it properly frames the setting within Lovecraftian horror. Every aspect of the game culminates into an unforgettable playthrough. The gameplay is timeless, the graphic design remains unmatched, and the music is unnerving in the best possible manner. Historically speaking, developing Quake tore its studio apart, leaving it a fraction of what it was before. But, the end result remains an awesome experience that is highly recommended to any fan of action games.
