It's more Quake. It tries a few new things like adding new weapons and enemies but they're a bit rubbish. The enemies are mostly really easy to deal with and the weapons feel a bit useless since they still use the same ammo type as better weapons from the original Quake. They try to include little set-pieces which I thought was cool and there is an actual final boss here so that's something but I feel a bit underwhelmed by it.

Maybe that's because I played it right after replaying the base game and I might be a bit tired of Quake's gameplay but I also feel like it doesn't have the same atmosphere as the base game. The music's mostly the kind of metal-ish stuff you'd expect and I just don't like it as much and the thing I like the most about Quake is its weird, gothic atmosphere.

It's good enough though, it's a mission pack and it does add some pretty good missions. Worth playing through if you want more of the base game.
