Boomershooters are kind of outside of my wheelhouse because they TEND to veer towards complete labyrinthine spaghetti bowls of winding paths and buildings, leaving me completely seasick and lost in an impossible measure of exploration density. I'm the type to burn myself out looking for secrets on the average opening level.

Arcane Dimensions, inversely, is slap incarnate. I've never played the base Quake before this, and now I don't even know if I can. On top of being STUNNING to look at from all angles, the maps in this mod pack flow so beautifully that I never feel the time go by. I don't know what balance these games need to strike before my brain fizzles out like a catherine wheel, but Arcane Dimensions manages it with a gonzo pile of disparate ideas, excitedly and wonderfully implemented. It's a wonderful feeling to step into a new level portal and KNOW you're in for something special.
