This has become one of my favorite first-person shooters of the Doom/Build engine era, next to Blood. I think in terms of gameplay, story, and level design, Strife holds up very well, even by today's standards. The story and setting is intriguing. It has twists and turns, and it is not always clear what the right decision is. The game gives you a choice how to approach different situations through dialog and gameplay. As a result, you feel like you are working your way up and progressing towards a greater goal. The level design is fantastic. The verticality of the maps is great. There are unique landmarks or features that make it easy to navigate around once you get familiar with a location. There are lots of opportunities to explore, look for alternative paths, and find secrets. Some locations are deliberately maze-like but in a way that makes sense for where you are. The music, sound effects, and voice acting are good. I enjoyed most of the performances. If you didn't grow up playing first-person shooters in the 90s but you are curious about that era of gaming and game design, then you should definitely give Strife a try.

Despite people calling this precursor to Deus Ex, it actually has very little to do with that game. It's not an immersive sim; stealth here is rudimentary at best, and generally it's still a DooM-like shooter. But with dialogues and peaceful NPCs. And a Hexen-like hub world. But is it a good game? Yes, it is. If you enjoy good old DooM or Hexen, you will love it. It's polished well enough; it has an interesting plot, fun guns, memorable enemies, coolest art-style, medieval-cyberpunk setting and totally badass soundtrack. After all, it's a competent shooter, nicely balanced, and smooth to play. The only thing I can whine a bit about is level design. The level design is complicated, but it is not as difficult as in Hexen or as frustrating as in Turok 2. The problem is that there are not many interesting things to look at, and mostly it blurs into brown-grey samey arenas and corridors (but with some really cool exceptions). Verdict: for old-school FPS nerds, Strife is a must-have without any second thoughts. PS. This time I have some gripes with the Nightdive remaster though: 1) They added some new content and quests; that's good. But in the new level I managed to softlock myself into a room, because you can jump into it through the window without opening the door. But you can't get out through the same window. And the door is locked, and the switch to open it is outside. Not cool; had to use noclip and forget about achievements. 2) After opening and closing the automap, the framerate drops significantly for a couple of seconds. Not deal-breaking, but annoying. 3) Gamepad support. There is no weapon wheel, and switching between 10+ weapons/ammo types using LB/RB is really long and handicaps the player tremendously in combat situations.

Pretty fun Doom type RPG-lite. Weapons are cool and unique. The story and choices had me confused a bit cause I don't pay that much attention to stories in games, so I got the very bad ending. But the combat is fun and satisfying which ie all that matters to me.

one of the best boomer shooters ever made. the first time rpg elements were incorporated into a shooter. everything about this game is great. i never understood why doom became so popular when this was 70x better.
