Quake is still a caffeinated fever dream of shotguns, rocket jumps, and enemies who absolutely deserved it. Somehow it feels faster today than it did in the ’90s, and Steam heroically keeps this ancient relic 100% playable on modern PCs. No summoning circles or floppy disks required. Proof that great games don’t age, they just respawn.

Though now we live in a time where every game is trying to be an "everything sandwich", Quake brings you back to a time when people were really really good at making a ham and cheese. It gets most things right about being a game, doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, and never breaks in quality the entire way through. Its not hard to see why it spawned so many games that share its DNA. Other games just don't feel the same after you rocket down a hallway twitch-shooting demons with the Super Shotgun. You kind of never want it to end. You know that once it's done, the over-bloating and garbage-ification of modern shooters will become ever more apparent as you delve once more into the slop mines trying to chase that dragon. But until then, quad damage nailgun.

I feel like we've lost something in the last 30 years, because I had more fun playing Quake for the first time than I ever did playing Overwatch or Valorant. It's so fun to blow up monsters while running at mach 5. I think it's the ruthless efficiency that's so fun. Clearing rooms while dodging enemy projectiles makes you feel like you're good at video games (and at times embarassingly bad). Running past enemies and skipping sections with the grenade/rocket launcher makes you feel like a racing monster (no demons here, this is Quake, not Doom). The art style really holds up too. Yeah, Quake is the progenitor of all puke-brown games, but it wears it on its chest, and at the time it was an innovation. I feel like this opinion is vindicated with Dimension of the Machine -- the new 2021 expansion -- as it's able to adapt Quake's art-style to curves and modern lighting. Quake has coherent, distinct environments: Egyptian, Medieval, Runic, Terracota, Sci-Fi, Underworld. As for each of the expansions: [*]Quake: 9/10 -- nicely designed levels, though some sections are a bit dated. [*]Scourge of Armagon: 7/10 -- a cool expansion, but the level design isn't quite as good. Awesome set-pieces. [*]Dissolution of Eternity: 6/10 -- levels are long as !#@$, and a lot of the encounters don't feel fair. You go up elevators just to see 5 enemies in your face :/. [*]Dimension of the Past: 10/10 -- the levels feel like reboot Wolfenstein levels in the Quake engine (that's literally what they are). They include all the level-design innovations of the 20 years after Quake. Well paced, with great action; would make a 1996 gamer's mind explode. [*]Dimension of the Machine: 8/10 -- really cool to see new graphics in the style of Quake, but some of the level design suffers. I got lost several times in the loooong levels. Also, I ran out of bullets on all my weapons a few times, which happened because they put 10 high health enemies in a row :|. I recommend Quake. It's nice to return to the basics of just running and shooting. That's what the game is about, and it does it in the most satisfying way. If you do pick it up, you should probably play on nightmare difficulty -- shooter gamers have gotten a lot better since 1996 when they didn't even use WASD or vertical mouse-look. Have fun, and good luck, Ranger.

Unlike Epic Games. id still has pride in their original creations and supports the fans of the franchise. This is how big game developer companies should treat their customers. Doom and Quake will live forever.
