Just take everything I said about Quake 2 and amplify it. Thats how I feel about The Reckoning. It just somehow does everything Quake 2 set out to do but worse. Weapons never feel powerful despite you going through and supposedly getting more powerful gear as the game progresses, enemy placement is abysmal (fuck the final fight on the freighter. Three tanks and two grenadiers in a room the size of a one bedroom apartment is a terrible decision). The maps and encounters are repetitive, and hell even the boss fight is exactly the same as the base game’s but in an arena less suited for it. Its like the devs of this expansion pinpointed everything I hated about Quake 2 and cranked it up a notch. I am so hoping I have an easier time stomaching Ground Zeroes.
