Enhanced DRM
Damn shame to see it DRM on GOG, particularly on this game. Not only is this one of the iconic games in history, it was famously one of the first to buck the trend of "copy protection" that had become the norm at the time (you didn't need the CD in the drive to play once installed). I was a shame to see Id software sell-out to to the garbage company that is Bethesda, and it's equally sad to see GOG do it too. 5/5 for the DRM-free version, 1/5 for the DRM version. 3 on average, then.

Would Have Rather Seen Romero's Version
So I would have rather seen the version of this as an RPG that John Romero originally envisioned. I'd venture to guess that's true of a lot of us, although I'm certain not all. The 3D tech Carmack programmed for this can't be undersold in terms of how influential and important it was, and it's not a tech demo the way Quake II is because Romero was at least still sort of around, but I certainly don't go back to it as often as Doom or Doom II. It ultimately lacks the longevity and versatility and community of Doom because of lacking the heart. As well as a generally poorer monster roster. Still, you don't have Half-Life without Quake, and without Half-Life you essentially don't have modern narrative video games as they now exist. And it's certainly still a lot of fun, although as I progress through the episodes I get a little bit overdosed on the dinginess of the color palate and the sameness of the environments, and the few bosses that there are, not counting Vores, are profoundly disappointing. To me, even a basic circle-strafe to win boss like in Doom or Duke3D would be preferable to the anemic final encounter with Shub-Niggurath. Despite it being a tech demo, I kind of enjoy Quake 2 more. The atmosphere is just better, in my opinion. Still, it's an important part of gaming history, and you should play through it at least once. Even on Nightmare, it's pretty fun. Oh, and that Trent Reznor is a pretty talented musician. What's he doing now?

Classic (if violent) fun.
A fast paced shooter that carries itself well with a brooding and violent atmosphere. While not the most in-depth shooter out there, its gameplay is challenging and fun. As other reviews have said, there is an issue where where the music does not play. However this has no effect on gameplay and, in my opinion, only a marginal effect on atmosphere.

Great shooter!
I'm not sure what reviewing a 24 year old classic will really acomplish but this game is just great, since it was a shareware game episode 1 is by far the best. Episode 2 is kinda garbage with a pretty lacking amount of ammo. Episode 3 and 4 were amazing though!! The visuals have aged really well, the animation is very choppy and lacks all interpolation, but it's very charming. Play this game, but maybe pirate it if you don't want to give any money to microsoft who own this game.
