Quake is the best of ID's shooter series

This is my first time playing through Quake II and I'm pretty impressed, mostly by how many tropes I associated with Valve were actually pioneered by id, particularly the near-seamlessly connected maps, weird spinning technological set pieces, environmental puzzles, poorly maintained Industrial treatment facilities, and funnily enough, rotating valves. You can really see the similarities in Valve's GoldSrc engine. The enemy AI is reactive at times, often ducking and retreating. Though the bigger, tankier enemies get easily stuck on corners, which is pretty exploitable. The weapons all feel satisfying and each serves a purpose. The compass is absolutely crucial and a clutch addition to this modern update. I really wish the same could somehow be done for Doom 1&2 to replace the overhead map. I don't know what navigating this game was like before this update, but being able to load up my save and immediately get my bearings straight is such a good quality of life feature, especially in older FPS games which can seem labyrinthine.

Dull and Soulless

The best way to describe Quake II is "competent." That's it, take any sort of interesting colorful words you could use to positively describe a game, and throw them out, because "competent" is the best you'll get out of Quake II. It's very obvious that John Romero was the creative glue at id, the ying to Carmack's cliched yang, because nothing in Quake II is compelling. Gone is the odd horror/sci-fi/gothic melange of the original Quake, gone are the rudimentary medieval looking weapons of the original, here replaced with the most stock, boring counterparts you could imagine. Instead of monsters with chainsaws popping out of their arm while spewing out grenades in a butcher's apron, you get generic monster with gun, and generic monster with different gun number two. There are no real extensive AI behaviors, most of what the enemies do is pretty rote, they either charge at you, or they zig-zag and shoot. Sure they'll keep shooting when they're downed, but after the first time, getting pecked in the back of the head by a lazer is just annoying instead of something you really need to watch out for. The real cherry on top is Quake II's stunningly bland level design, including the hallmark of all crap level design, a hub system, because the only way to make the bland, colorless levels with billions of monster closets and boring traps more exciting is endless backtracking. The levels suck, the monsters suck, the weapon sucks (they are unsatisfying and have little to no interesting functionality), the monster design sucks. In fact, the only good part of Quake II is that it has some impressive technical dinguses, but even that is a bittersweet boon as Quake II deigns to do nothing interesting or pretty with its technical prowess. At least the game works, it's not buggy in the slightest, it doesn't crash, and everything about it is professional. But that really sums it up, Quake II is a professional experience, it's like working in a cubicle, mindnumbing and just ass.

You owe it to yourself

Had this game when I was younger, installed on multiple systems on our home network so my brother and I could play pvp. I still remember killing him through a wall with a random blind-shot from the BFG. Good times.

Quake II how we love you

Quake II is the reason I purchased a 3DFX card, so glad I did back in the day. Quake II is a great shooter that still holds up today. Everybody should play at least once in their life if not a lot more.
