Nope sorry, not for me.
Don't forget to negrep this review as it's not conforming to expected woke beliefs that this is a 5-star "bezt gam eva", so this review needs to be cancelled. The second, the very second the game ran and I saw the almost unreadable ugly text of the options menu I thought, "eeeeyuk". Starting the game did not improve things. The low res, low poly old Quake engine just does not do it. Think "Blood II" and it's "Monolith" engine. This looks just as bad. I could not get the resolution/depth to change. Colours are brown brown and more brown, with a dash of grey, as per the original Quake games (which I "blasphemously" thought were crap too). It was just hideous to look at. What little level design I did see was poor, boring. Combat was clumsy and just, nope. Music was not a patch on it's predecessors. It should have kept their old original game engine. That would have left Hexen II behind the times, but also made it a much better game. This really is the "Blood II" of the "Heretic/Hexen" series. Don't forget, all you 5-star reviewers, be offended, hit the negrep button, everyone else does on all my reviews. Heck, even hit the report button, there's nothing here to break GOG's "guidelines", but you never know.....
Is this helpful to you?
