Quake II

Do not listen to the top review!

I'd like to point out that THERE IS MUSIC. GOG used winmm.dll to allow playing the soundtrack without using a CD, but the Anniversary Update of Windows 10 broke it. "How can I listen to the banger that is Quake II's soundtrack then?" I recommend you download the unofficial 3.24 patch and patch it (of course), then put the MUSIC folder included in Quake II to "baseq2\music". The game will handle the music correctly afterwards, playing the normal soundtrack on the base game, Mission Pack's soundtrack for The Reckoning, and the mix of both for Ground Zero. That way you can experience the game without using a bloated source port full of stuff you probably won't even use.

DOOM II

A glorified map-pack!*

*If you're willing to play on DOSBox, again, you can still use source-ports though! DOOM 2 is basically more from the first game, now with a 32-level format instead of the original episodic format, I recommend you check The Ultimate DOOM review for more info if you're completely new. Id added more Things on the engine, adding chain-shotgunners, funny skeletons, flaming assholes, a head on a stick, and more! Not only that, but a new weapon, the Super Shotgun! (Essentially making all multiplayer games less grab-and-choose-your-weapon styled.) The multiplayer got better by making most maps fun on DeathMatch, and again as I said on Ultimate DOOM, the mapping/modding community also had to make WADs for this game too! You can still use source-ports if you want thanks to the source code release! Overall ALSO another must-buy, if you lack the money then try FreeDoom.

DOOM (1993)

AMAZING!*

*If you're wiling to endure DOSBox, otherwise use a source-port! DOOM is the GAME that co-invented the FPS genre and 3D tech and essentially made multiplayer DEATHMATCH! No longer where the days of slow-paced gameplay of chess, no longer where the days of turn-based multiplayer, you now had the action-blasted fun of killing demons in 3 EPISODES (4 in Ultimate Doom aka this release) of Hell! You got bored of killing demons? Kill your friends! On DeathMatch that is (*cough cough* Columbia *cough cough*). Tired of playing through E1M1 everyday? Install a WAD and take the gameplay through a new level! Got tired of having over-chunked pixels? Use a source-port and do whatever you want with it, brutalize your experience, over-difficult your game, DESTROY YOUR PC WITH BIG MAPS, NOW THAT IS NUTS! (pun totally intended) When Id Software made this game, they made sure to be as good as it could, and they did it well! Overall a must-buy if you haven't done it yet, if you lack the money there's still FreeDoom!

Quake

Quake... from an RPG to a legendary FPS

Quake may not be very good in its original state, but it revolutionized FPSes and multiplayer. From the beginning of development it was supposed to be an RPG where you would be Quake, a warrior and you would explore dimensions and collect runes, but as the time was running out, they would later change it to an FPS, when it released originally, there were a lot of positive reviews, but there was the negative ones, people saying that the game looked like it was on beta, still Id Software were gaining fame, but later after some discussion with John Carmack, John Romero left. Now, onto the gameplay, the singleplayer campaign wasn't as famous as the ones from The Ultimate Doom, Doom II and Final Doom, but it was enough for a game, as for the multiplayer, it was revolutionary on its time, 32 player deathmatch, multiplayer mods like Threewave CTF and the well known Team Fortress, lots of players and a lot more, multiplayer was so good that Id Software had to release a new version of Quake called QuakeWorld, and about music, we had the legendary Nine Inch Nails soundtrack (which is available on this version unlike steam). Later on Id Software released more versions like vQuake, GLQuake, QuakeWorld (like i said before), Winquake and a GL version of QuakeWorld. To this day, there's a lot of games, and we all know that inside of them, there's a little DNA from Quake, Doom and Wolfenstein 3D, and there's a lot of source ports available for those 3 games, we even have official ports as the Unity port of Ultimate Doom and Doom II , as well as the most recent one which is of course, Quake, and it's made on the Kex engine. So, should you buy and try out this game?, Yes. Also, the new port of Quake is probably coming to this version, so you should check it out.
