I didn't realise barely anyone's rated or reviewed this so now I feel bad for rating it low when I don't really like Quake 2 anyway :)
The N64 vibe's cool. Got this weird space-y feeling with its colour palette of deep purples and greens which kind of clashes with Quake 2's aesthetic but in this vaguelly nostalgic way that makes it kind of endearing.
I just don't really like Quake 2's combat. Enemies take a lot of hits without having designs that feel like they warrant it and so I just find it kind of sluggish (but end up forgetting this and coming back to it for a bit before rememberring). The quirks of this version are cool but they're not enough to distract me from the combat and the lack of music (or at least odd placement of it) only brings more attention to it.
don't read this though, there's another review below which probably wasn't written by an insane person that plays alternate versions to games they don't like
