I bought this game once, never again.
This is the game that taught me a valuable lesson; don't buy into the hype. Nastalgia can make some questionable games worth playing again years later. This game was DOA almost 20 years ago. To those who buy it, enjoy your painfully long unskippable cutsceens.

Spent only enough time feel uneasy.
So, I'm not of any asian ethnicity here. Need to say that now. I got through most of the opening cutscene, until a specific point where a pair of characters display agonizingly "Yellow peril" era stereotype accents (think Mickey Rooney playing I. Y. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's, or any number of stereotypical asian villain types in movies from anywere from the 40s to the 90s with a lot of L/R accent swaps and so on) I'm not sure I'm interested in continuing the game. I already am aware of the problems with the gameplay itself, I got the game at its extreme discount fully knowing this (I grew up in the 90s, I remember that imfamous ad in magazines) but still... I don't know if it's because the world has changed and I've changed with it, or if I'm just too much of a prude in my older age, I feel uneasy about continuing. Like I wish I could get a refund for it out of annoyance with having something so unneccessary thrown at me. It is out of place too, the other characters with speaking dialoge in the introduction do not have such accents and sound rather typical action movie in comparison so it just feels cheap and sleezy in an unneeded way to include that. Not really interested in learning if it gets any better, or worse.

Its reputation is well deserved.
Oh where to begin? The level design is nonsensical, inconsistent, and often confusing. Weapons are either game breaking or absolutely useless with no room in between. The graphics weren't even stellar in the preview phase and now they are just a blocky mess. There really isn't much in the way of positive things to say about this title. I am giving it a second star due to what I feel are clever mechanics for character advancement.

Form your own opinion
It is a game ahead of its time, where Romero tried to innovate and was baddly recieved because of a public opinion demonized him and his work. The game has fixing patches that will make it a great fps. Stop whinning and try it before getting infected by haters speech. The creator of this game made Doom and Quake and those by definition are the foundations of modern fps. So, Romero doesn't screw around when making games. Buy it, patch it, apreciate it for the time when it was made with the respective associated story of its maker and then maybe your opinion may become valid. Of course it has its limitations, but didn't all the games back the had? There are people calling this the worst game ever...well i can surelly name some recent far far worst games, can you do that exercise too? Do you know why there is such a remake, remaster and new 90s inspired shooters fever wave in 2019? Food for thought. Not perfect, but there was a time when someone had to take chances, and Romero did. I give it 3/5 just because the fixing source of the game are the fans and not the producer.

Legend is true
I never played Daikatana when it originally came out and later i only heard about this creation of John Romero was it legend as one of the worst shooters ever made. But i was curious. If it is really so bad? If legend is true? Answer is: yes. I knew this in moment of starting new game, when i landed in one of ugliest swamp i have ever seen in video games, full of buzzing bugs and jumping frogs as first enemies. Daikatana is ugly even as a 2000 title. It using Quake 2 engine, but i looks worse than Quake. Gameplay is clunky and levels and enemies are often iritating. Involving time travels plot had potenial but in the end is boring, and voice acting and cutscenes are hillarious bad. One of the key features of Daikatana: companion system, is the worst part of game. Buddies of main hero are totally idiots who go straight into danger, shots you in back, blocking everywhere and when they die is game over. I had to save/reload very often. Lucky for me there was an option to disable limited save crystals feature so i was iritated less times. But i can't say that Daikatana is the worst shooter. There was some moments when i had fun. Four periods of time is four various enviroments, enemies and weapon sets. And some of weapons was really satisfying to use. And some leves was satisfying to complete. There are worse shooters out there, but they didn't have do impact to games as media. And thats why i gave Daikatana two stars instead one. I don't recommend Daikatana as pleasent game. It legend is really true. But sometimes you have to see on your own eyes what it means when big game is bad game.
