New engine + old formula = still fun
id Software's next title after Doom does not diverge far away from it predecessor. It's once again action-packed FPS with excuse plot "one hero against army of monsters". But Quake is scarier game than Doom due to new true 3D engine. Not only it allowed more creative architecture and replaced sprites with 3D models, but also because of limited color palette sense of dread is emphasized. Quake has dark ambient soundtrack, which fits overall atmosphere, but I find it not as memorable as Hexen or Blood OST. Level design is uneven - while techbase maps are boring, levels taking place inside castles and dungeons are filled to the brim with nasty traps and creepy monsters. While levels are more abstract than maps from Build engine games, they are indeed very fun to play. This release also has two mission packs. One of them, Scourge of Armagon, is much better than the other. Level design is better than in base game: techbase maps are more challenging (due to new monsters), and Black Cathedral is the best map in whole pack. New weapons and powerups are nice addition, but they don't change gameplay much. Dissolution of Eternity looks less polished. Many new monsters are reskinned versions of already existing models. New guns are really overpowered. But DoE also have its strengths: maybe to compensate powerful weapons, final boss is the most difficult monster in whole series. Maps are also well-designed and sometimes uniquely themed. This package contains original DOS and Windows binaries. Kudos to GOG for releasing game with soundtrack (as CD image), because some re-releases do not contain music! I recommend using some more modern source port, like Quakespasm. It's more stable on Windows and also supports Linux & Mac. To sum up: Quake isn't perfect. But atmosphere and gameplay are so good, that they will make you forget about game's issues. It's influence and modding community also can't be overlooked. If I could, I would give 4,5/5 - so I will round score up to 5/5 :)
