An Outstanding Deal on a True Classic.

Make no mistake, this is one of the greatest FPS games ever. It's frantic, gothic, and horrifying in a way few games can even come hope to match, a gem of the golden age of FPS games. Now it's even BETTER, since the package includes not only the original game, but also the enhanced version, which runs brilliantly on modern hardware, and with even more levels to boot! If I -MUST- criticize this game, the color palette is severely lacking compared to other titles out at the time. It's unrelentingly monotonous in tone, the very definition of a "brown" game, where there's very little in the way of color, a trend that would overwhelm western game design soon after, as many games in the 2000s employed the sort of limited, drab color palette that would come to define western games for the decade and even into the early 2010s. However, don't let the color palette scare you off. It may not be the most aesthetically exciting game in the world, but make NO mistake, this is the essence of the all-action FPS, what is now called a "boomer shooter" by some. If you like that kind of game, you OWE it to yourself to get this amazing title.

Still great after almost three decades

I truly believe that Quake is a better FPS than most of those that came after it. It’s not one of those culturally significant but poorly aged titles that you force yourself to get into without having that much fun: like Doom before it, it’s a classic that most players today, kids and grown-ups alike, will still have a blast playing! It is a masterpiece of action. Its minimalist control scheme, even lacking an “interact” key, encourages you to go berserk with a set of simple-to-master yet powerful and versatile guns, while all of the complexity of the gameplay comes from the level design and enemy behavior. The game is all about finding keys and switches to unlock the next door and learning how to efficiently dispatch each monster type: it’s a simple, fun and stimulating slaughterfest which is challenging but rarely unfair. While Quake’s graphics have their detractors (it’s very... brown), its atmosphere has aged superbly. The excellent texture work and soundtrack make for a uniquely eerie experience, set in an alien world full of hostile locations and terrifying creatures. This vibe combined with the “lo-fi” 3D definitely has a lot of charm, and it’s no surprise that it still inspires shooters like Dusk or Wrath: AoR to this day. Most of my issues with Quake amount to nitpicks (like how half the weapons become obsolete once you obtain their more powerful counterparts), but it also has serious imperfections. Excessively cramped fight chambers filled with frustrating monsters are common annoyances, especially in the much-maligned, slime-infested fourth episode of the main campaign. In spite of that, it’s definitely worth playing. Getting it to run well on modern system used to be a bit of a hassle, but this recent “enhanced edition” works perfectly fine and is faithful to the original release in its gameplay and visuals (although it sadly restricts access to mods). It also allows you to play both original expansions PLUS two new ones, guaranteeing hours of fun!

This game still makes me **** my pants

Most games don't age well. The few that do are rightly considered classics, and Quake is undeniably a classic. With it's sci-fi, high fantasy, Lovecraftian fantasy set among rocket jumps, awesome weapon design (Take the grenade launcher, which is something most modern shooters have now is astounding for back then), not to mention the lightning gun and the super nail gun) and an unbelievably creepy soundtrack by Trent Reznor, and an game changing multiplayer. One could say it holds up well. Or you could say that they don't make games like they used too. And you'd be right on both fronts You are armed with only an array of weapons, a gravity-defying jump, and some twitchy fingers against the hordes of Quake. I like this better than Doom,because this feels like what Doom was trying to go for, but ended up looking like a cartoon. And the enemies? They are your worst nightmares. Id wasn't content with just the hordes of hell this time. There's an ogre that looks like Leatherface's child, a yeti that shoots lightning, 8 foot tall demon knights that shoot....something that hurts, bouncing demons with scythes for arms. And all of these enemies are low-res poly textures. And they still scare the shit out of me. Those low grunts, moans, shrieks, and roars make those poorly textured enemies larger than life. Even choosing your difficulty makes you cringe as the difficulties range from boring creepy walls to jumping over a lava bed with writhing, crucified zombies (or people? I could never tell) to tell you whether your game will be easy or hard. And nightmare difficulty is hidden, so yeah. And by the way, you are just a lonely little ranger with paper mache for armor. This is 1996's FPS dark soul's. This is where the modern mechanics for FPS was born. As a screaming, festering, repugnant baby that came out of the womb armed with a chainsaw and a rocket launcher. God save your soul, ye who enter the realm of Quake.

Outdated reviews soundtrack on enhanced

The other reviews are from befor the game got the enhanced edition. The enhanced edition has the soundtrack. The OG version does not. The enhanced edition has controller support also so yay. As far as I'm aware if you buy the game on other platforms (like steam or epic games) you don't get the OG version if you ever need it for mods. I like how the google play store tells you what version a person was using when they reviewed an app. then you could see what reviews only talk about the OG version without the sound track. - 1 stare because of having to log into Bethesda to do any online stuff

Play this. It's great.

Quake is such a fun game. The game was famous for introducing the type of multiplayer deathmatches that are common in FPS games today. But, the single-player game is the highlight for me. It's old school action. Run from one end of the level to the other while killing anything that moves and collecting ammo, armor, and keys. I miss this type of game. Quake 2 was ok, but it was not a sequel to this game. Id capitalized on the popularity of Quake to sell its next game: a sci-fi shooter. Quake 1 has a better theme, and a direct sequel is LONG overdue.
