If Dimension of the Past was an ode to the original Quake, then Dimension of the Machine is an ode to boomer shooters in general. The levels in this episode are massive, often evoking Half-Life rather than Quake. Dimension of the Machine is also the best-looking Quake episode by a mile, with MachineGames taking full advantage of the new Quake port's colored lightmaps and dynamic shadows. This episode is probably the best collection of official Quake levels since the original game—a delightful gift to the community 25 years after Quake's release.
I did a Nightmare difficulty run this time. This version of the game is actually harder than the original Quake, as it reduces your max health to 50 points. I still enjoyed the hell out of it.

This has better combat segments than Lost in Nightmares, but it's somehow shorter and feels wholly inconsequential. RIP Doug, you were a real one.
