Romero's Masterpiece !!
Like Quake but better. A Nightdive remaster would make it perfect.

Actually rather fun and enjoyable.
Even though the game has the reputation of being the worst game ever, it has its fair share of fun moments. The enviroments are quite nice and different kinds of weapons and enemies spice things up. Although the AI of your partners are rather lacking and it can lead to them getting stuck at a point that eventually kills them and you will be forced to restart or reload a save file as it is impossible to progress any further without them.

Fun, with a few flaws
As much as everyone craps on this game, I enjoyed it to a degree. It suffers from lackluster design and story, but otherwise; it's enjoyable. If you can pick it up for three bucks or less, it's worth a play. More than that? I can't really say it's worth it.

Not a bad game at all
Daikatana really isn't a bad game trust me I have played rogue warrior if you want bad. It has some cool ideas like the rpg mechanics,the style, and the weapons but the ai and level design kinda kills it. the ai is pretty bad and the level design is poorly designed. besides people the pc version is the best version of this game

Welp, they tried...
The infamous FPS-RPG Daikatana, even after the "unofficial" patch 1.3 (which simply makes the game playable), actually showed potential in some part of its gameplay and some really interesting idea in its design that helped me through the game, hoping that after a while the game would finally get good. And, for some part, it does. Problem is, even with some really interesting idea behind it, Daikatana remains one of the poorest game ever created, for its flaws are... everywhere: enemy design, map layout, story (more for the way it is told, overall the preset of the story could have been interesting), weapon ( good the idea to differentiate for the time periods, but found almost all of them no fun to play at all), corpses with a gigantic hitbox, the whole RPG system, etc.. On top of that, this is a review for Daikatana WITH an unofficial patch, not for the original game. So, is it that bad? well... actually there is some middle ground: some sections of the game are, as said before, interesting and, as all in john Romero's works, some ideas were truly good, revolutionary, in fact, but their execution was terrible. Unfortunately, I couldn't recommend it, even patched, unless you re a true fan of ion storm work and this kind of game... or just want to experience one of the most famous games of all time, both ironically and rightfully so.
