A great game that I keep coming back to. The fact that it took a different path from the Heretic/Hexen games before it and shifted the perspective to third-person doesn't detract from it in my eyes, especially since it still uses several mechanics seen throughout the series, just with more acrobatics. That, and cutting enemies to ribbons with the bladestaff is so good. It's tragically underappreciated nowadays (heck, it was underappreciated back when it came out), and we need to bug Activision/ZeniMax/whoever to release it on digital storefronts (in fact, while we're at it, let's get Hexen II's expansion in on that deal). They'll listen one day, hopefully...
