Quake 2 Remastered, a Masterpiece
This will be a review of the Remastered version of Quake 2 that was released. First, I have to say that my excitement and joy when I heard about the news on Quakecon and that it was coming out of nowhere on the same day was truly a joyous experience, but how is the game itself? Starting with the overall elements of the remastered that can be noted are the improved graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay additions with crossplay and crossgen without the need for a Bethesda account unlike the Quake 1 remastered. Content wise they featured the original game and its expansions the Reckoning and Ground Zero with an additional brand-new campaign by Machine Games title the Call of the Machine and a surprise addition of Quake 2 64 remastered levels (only the ones that were new to that game as it featured the main game and some additional levels) Special mention to the addition of the compass to the equipment wheel as it improves the experience a whole lot as all of the Quake 2 levels are contriving mazes that lead into other hubs. How is the game itself? It cannot get better than this, the overall gameplay loop in addition to the soundtrack creates a masterful menagerie of a gameplay loop with the core weapons feeling like they all belong and worthy of use. The campaigns are all excellent with special mention to the Call of the Machine which is new to the remastered. That features extremely varied locale and new bosses with a gigantic leap in difficulty and something for the lore experts as well (The origins of the Strogg and the connection to Q1 might satiate people’s appetite). Original Quake 2 campaign is a classic with a main theme of Strogg bases/industrial locations which do not overstay their welcome. The Reckoning is a gigantic expansion with varied locale and new weapons, but the length might be to its detriment as the last stretch is overly long. Ground Zeros is the same thing but improved pacing and weapons and Q64 is a nice addition albeit rushed at the end. 10
