Another great dark fantasy classic from the boomer shooter era. Each class changes up the play through quite a bit so you can easily get a lot of fun out of it. Some of the maps can get quite confusing so you may want to look up a solid walk through ahead of time!

One of the best games in its genre. In those years when it appeared, it was a stunning breakthrough in the fantasy gaming world.

Fantasy Quake. I mean, like... moreso. Shoot fantasy weapons and run around hub levels. The graphics are a little more hi-res than Quake and the levels are bigger/expansive. But the storyline is incomprehensible. The puzzles are more challenging.

Dark Souls meets Quake in an unholy union, and I (kinda) love it.. Back in the days, before the era of earthy military shooters there was a time of weird experimentation, and in this era we saw the likes of Hexen crawl to the surface. This is basically a rudimentary darker take on dungeon and dragons with classes to choose from and a very barebones inventory system dressed in the raggedy carcass of the Quake engine. Now I love the Quake engine and the fact that Hexen 2 in many ways improves upon the tried and tested formula of going medieval on a bunch of monsters in equally dark and brooding setpieces is brilliant. In the beginning the atmosphere is great and the gameplay meaty and rewarding, however, the game quickly turns into a slog when the difficulty staggers into view by adding tons of health to the enemies making the journey grind to a halt in a quagmire of bodies. This might be a nonproblem for some, but for me the combination of difficulty adjusted by the health of mobs is seldom a great way of making memorable fights.. The puzzles are good, not great, and the hidden switch hunting that made the first game a guidebook writer's wet dream have been greatly reduced. The class-based system works even if it is rudimentary and the minimalistic asymmetry between the 4 archetypes make them stand out, for better and for worse. In the end Hexen 2 is a child of its time, a game on the cusp of something great that never truly could break free from the inherent limitations of its own design. This is among the few game series I have great hopes for a remaster in due time since the core concept is simply amazing. This one is a minor recommendation based more on my heavy nostalgia than an actual love of the gameplay. If you like old school boomer shooters and want a slightly flawed medieval take on the concept, Hexen 2 is still a fine game. Just don’t expect it to be anything like Quake!
