Probably the most underrated one from the classic, commercially licensed doom engine games. There are definitely some annoying sections (even more so when paired with respawning robots on the hardest difficulty), and the maps range from fairly detailed and open ones to just indoor mazes and corridors. But overall a very enjoyable journey with rewarding secrets (even more added in this Veteran edition), some stealth elements, some great dialogue, definitely a step-up from the Heretic/Hexen games in this matter. Hoping for a remaster for the upcoming 30th anniversary of the game!

this game falls under the "alright" category for me, the movement is kinda clunky but hey the game was made 20+ years ago so i guess it makes sense. it's not bad tho.

After struggling through a string of bad games this was a refreshing one. I was a bit hesitant because I like modern FPS, I like late 90 FPS like Unreal or Half-Life but early 90s it starts to lose me. Doom was fun but I wasn't wild about it, Wolfenstein 3D I didn't enjoy, though Chex Quest, Rise of the Triad, and Dark Forces are fun. So where did this fall? Despite being an older, non3d engine, this felt like a 3d game. Mouse moves freely, the game's length is about perfect. No map made some levels like the sewers feel annoying but these levels are all fairly small so easy to navigate. Fully voiced important npcs was nice. The weapons were all fun, though the 'shotgun' is treated as a end game weapon and I'd much rather have had a shotgun than the grenade launcher which was very encounter-specific due to bad range. The sprites at a higher elevation were immune to weapons besides the rifle or crossbow-- I had a few times where I shot a bazooka at a flying enemy to have it instead auto correct to blow up a civilian. There's secret passageways that connect all levels together, had it been a modern game it'd be a open world. There was minimal platforming and what it did have was fun, I think that was a product of its game engine. It just didn't do platforming well and the game's devs were well-aware of the limitations of the game engine. Overall, I feel like Strife is a game that was made too early. It's got all the hallmarks of a modern great FPS. Had it been made 10 or 20 years later it would have been known as a great game like Bioshock or FEAR. Instead when people think of great 90s FPS, including the ones I listed above and System Shock or Marathon, no one really thinks of Strife, and I think that's a shame. It lacks memorable enemies like Nazis, demons, or monsters that say Rise of the Triad, Doom, or Serious Sam used. But it has a fun story and worth checking out.
