Hard to explain what makes this game so captivating but I've spent a lot of time playing it and only have fond memories of walking around the endless world this game has.
YNO has also contributed greatly to my experience.

Fun fact: Kojima originally wanted to name this game "peak" but Konami said no


Jokes aside this is probably one of the best pieces of fiction in any piece of media i've seen

A beautiful game about freedom and our own individuality.

I have genuinely wholeheartedly cried playing this game. I do not think any other game i ever play comes as close to this, and i am so glad i have played it. This really is the best you can get with videogames all the way.

This series has taken over my life

“Conman,” you ask, “is Quake II (2023) the complete package? I heard it includes Original Recipe™ Quake II, Quake II 64, and a few other sub campaigns including a brand new one by the supposed Indiana Jones devs. I also heard that multiplayer, achievements, numerous QoL additions, playable demos of prerelease builds of Quake II, concept art, models, and multiplayer support are all included! Is this true?”

Yes my child, Nightdive is at it again. “But why only 4 stars, great sage? I hypothetically care about star ratings or whatever. You’re very handsome by the way.”

Well, my delicious snap pea, the game in question is Quake II.

I like Quake II. I think it’s a good shooter, and I’ve had a bit of a soft spot for it since I first played it within Quake 4. Yeah. Anyway, unfortunately, kiddo, I can’t say I like it as much as Quake. I guess I could, but it would be a lie, baby. I won’t lie to you. I’m tired here’s a list.

Weapons: Nice selection overall. I’m not a fan of guns sharing an ammo pool but that happens in lots of games like this. Railgun absolutely clears.
Enemies: feels like there’s only three kinds and they range from okay to kind of annoying to fight.
Music: Big Bumpin’
Level design: I could have used a few more level gimmicks. I’m serious, the waterway level was cool. Overall I didn’t hate any of the levels though, and that means a lot in a game like this. Good job Quakers.
Story:
Aesthetics: Cohesive, but if they ever do a modern reboot of Quake they should reboot Quake. The overall aesthetic here is maybe even more varied than the first game, but is generic by comparison.

Did I forget anything? Oh yeah I actually don’t love that you store items in an inventory. I barely ever used the items. Didn’t really need to, and I played on Hard and found most of the secrets in the game. I did so because I liked playing it despite the aforementioned issues. Four bags of popcorn and one soda.

“Conman, my king, I agree and/or disagree with this review” sick you’re my new best friend we should be friends in real life.

Easily one of the best true co-op experiences I've ever played. You must rely on your partner and vice-versa to survive.

i think its really funny that burncasket's head is cut off on the poster here. its what she deserves

Probably the most consistently good game I've played. There's very few sections I'd consider bad, if any. Phenomenal and absolutely worth playing

richter from castlevania's bizarre adventure

there is literally no way a human wrote this

Me in a drive thru: "U-umm I want one B-Big Mac ple-"

Willard H. Wright on the passenger seat, screaming in my ear: "EARTH TO EARTH. ILUSIONS TO ILUSIONS. THE INGREDIENTS TO WHICH YOU SEEK CAN BE FOUND AT HOME."

ILLUSIONS...TO ILLUSIONS, ...THE PROMISED REAPER LOWERS THE CURTAINS ON THE TALE REGARDLESS OF THE WITCH'S WILL THAT SPECTER OF DEATH IS ME
