Quake with doom3 engine

A good solid old school shooter with a decent single player story. Multiplayer is a so so add on that feels like a Quake 3 mod but is solid even if a bit dull. Glad its on GoG as its from the end of the local coop era.

Not great but still good

Definitely not real classic nor great masterpiece, but still good craftsmanship. This mightn't be a game every FPS fan should know but it's definitely worth playing if you want some good sci-fi FPS.

Great game better than I remember,

Yeah so back in the day I played about half never beat it forget why, I am a huge old school ID fan and this is basically the last game that you can call that. I got it on steam for better networking and it seems to have less technical problems than I see listed here too. The game is a fabulous and challenging FPS as it should be multiplayer is decent and still servers. Single player is very short like COD short eff so yeah play it on the highest difficulty you can because a game this short only fun for about 8-10 hours. Windows 8.1 10 users turn mouse precision off and you will get rid of the weird mouse lag.

Unsalvageable

Quake IV could easily pass for a fan made Doom 3 mod. It barely has an identity of it's own,but expect Doom 3 shit-flat jumpscares and showing lighting tech instead of making interesting environments. The shooting is fine I suppose but it's all so bland and lacking any soul. There's a reason the only thing people talk about 20 years later is the getting turned into Strogg scene. Because that's the only moment of this entire game that doesn't feel generic. Where perhaps someone had a vision or an inspiration to be more than a Doom 3 Map Pack. And even that is a blunder because getting turned into Strogg doesn't actually impact gameplay in any meaningful way.

Quake 4

I mean just look at those screenshots. That's some chunky and serious looking stuff. Big bold colors, awesome creatures, some proper sci-fi right there. It just invites you to play it. How could it not be fun? I'm clicking buy! Hold up. Don't. When you actually play the game you never experience anything that resembles those screenshots. The game is way too dark, the monsters are nondescript and the combat feels poor. That's really all you need to know about a first person shooter, so what else is there to say. Don't buy Quake 4 and don't play it. Buy the Quake 2 remaster instead and after you're done with the campaign play Call of the Machine.
